The butterfly that I saw yesterday.

Few days back I was reading a book and I came across a sentence which said ‘the caterpillars that I missed to kill have been these butterflies.’ And this sentence too me back a few days back where my companion commented on a beautiful purple butterfly which just happen to pass by us. He said ‘See this wonderful creature so beautiful but it will last for a few days’. When I heard this from him my mind went a few days back where in school i had a discussion with the kids on the topic of death. And yet again my mind took me a week back where in class I had discussed about life. So my mind started to delve on these topics of life and death which was in connection with the butterfly.

It was so nice to see the beautiful purple butterfly pass by us.  The beauty which the little butterfly added to the nature was marvelous if not for the other but at least to me. This phenomenon of observing a butterfly doesn’t happen much often to me but it was that day I just happen to see it. Among all the beauty, freedom and majesty this butterfly flattered its wings, showed life which radiated such joy that I felt happy.

This is how life is. Life spreads so much joy to others. When a child is born there’s so much joy that all the sorrows are forgotten. The birth of child adds beauty to the life of the other family members. Where there is life there is love. Life and live both go hand in hand. A person who lives his life in love communicates both his love and his life to the other. The best gift a person can give another is ones time. Each one has his/her own time for oneself but when one shares ones time with the other it also means one shares his/her time with the other. Life builds relationships and love strengthens them. YOLO- You Only Live Once. In life one gets many opportunities it all depends on the person whether to grab it or no. opportunities involves risks. It’s not easy. It’s better to have loved and lost than to have not loved at all. This sentence is an example of taking risks. By taking risks one may make mistakes but there’s also the learning experience which counts. Life only can give life to another.

Sometimes, in life we have been living in this world like living dead. What do I mean by that? We all have life but we have lived as if life has been taken away from us. We have been living like zombies, just living for the sake of living. Just waiting for death to come and embrace us.

Um… death. My companion brought me down to reality that the butterfly will die after a few days. Death too is also a part of reality. We try to put away this topic as we are scared of it. We forget everyone who comes as life in this world ends up by death. Don't ask me about heaven of hell that’s what I'm not talking of. So when one thinks of death one realizes the worth of life and the people around him/her. We are all guests in this world we are not here for eternity. Death helps us to live life to the full. It tells us we won’t be here for long so don't forget to build up genuine relationships and enjoy loving each other. One might say Oh! Death that will come once I'm old. Death is uncertain. You never know when it comes with its arm wide open to embrace you. So till than like the butterfly that is saw yesterday, radiate the beauty and joy to others. And the one majestic God who has made us, thank Him for making us such wonderful majestic beings.
