death by the door

Death comes at any time. It has no time frame. It doesnt give notice. It happens. It brings a life to an end. Period. We have a fixed time to play, to learn, to earn, to live, to pray, to search for truth or wealth and along the way make many mistakes/sins to forge ourselves ahead. Death is forever walking by the door....no bell toll no soft wind blowing no time to say goodbye....It comes at the most unappropriate time......so one has to seek good fortunes, smile to people, say thank you and learn to accept criticisms and learn to forgive too. I was calculating this morning....one has to spend 13 years in secondary school, another 3/4 years in university then out to learn a living maybe at aged 24 years then in a hurry to settle down and work it up from there. Procuring wealth and greed of money forgetting the basic wealth, then children come along, delay weath takings, family comes first work longer hours. After which things change.Perception blinds the eyes. Things come to a standstill. Emotions roller coaster rides. Never know what to expect next. Greed comes to nudge the mind. Emotional stress slowly kicks in. One forgets about basic living...All the while in a hurry to earn wealth. Going for the good life. Financial crisis. Personal problems. The foundation all wrong. It cracks. It makes life so hard to live. What happen then? Death at the door! The receipe of life disaster. Yet nobody thinks about Death. It shouldnt happen right? It happens because we make the wrong chess moves. Learn to live within the means. The ability to pay and the knowledge that every one can't be rich....honestly!
