What makes you wonder about your life. Everyone of us have tried to introspect it ,sometimes we succeed and sometimes we have no clue what it is that we are living. The saying “life flashes in front of you “is I think the most profound, honest and brutal introspection of your life. People who go through a horrifying moment in their life where they had a close call with grim reaper have a changed perspective on life, ever wonder why that is.I think, it’s because they saw their image of mortality
In an instant, you remember the moments you regretted the most, the moments you were filled with pure joy, moments of profound grief and then there are moments of pure pride. I think these moments are actually the images of your mortality.
These instances that come to your mind, tells a lot about where your truths are hidden in your life.
Your regrets are a way of your life telling you your desires.
Your joys are showing you your true loves.
Your griefs are talking about your losses.
Your pride are your successes.
That’s the summary of your life.
And no matter what you tell the world, you can’t lie to your image of mortality
Our lives have become so complicated that we can’t even stay true to ourselves. It’s not that we don’t want to, it’s that we are not allowed to.
What we project to be our truths are not our truths, they are actually expectations, that are garnered as our truths.
Your regrets are never the same that you share with the world, your joys are never the ones you knew as your joys, your griefs will always surprise you, and your prides are always selfish in nature
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger “, because it makes you reflect on your truths that were hidden from you.
Let’ consider desire. By definition it means, “what you want” but what you desire is actually beyond that.
I think most real desires have a tendency to become regrets, if u give it enough time, because real desires are always dark.
When they say “be careful what you wish for”, I will rephrase it to “be careful what u really desire”
My image of mortality is unique to me.
Your image is unique to you.
It’s not a morbid sentiment, it’s an inspiring one. Imagine a status report on your life.
The image that you conjure is your own personal truth card
People are always looking for self help guides and books, to find truths of their own lives, their own truth card, their own image of mortality.
Have a good scare and ponder that for the rest of your life.
