Frankly speaking, I never understood this phrase much. Isn’t
it always staring at us? I mean, come to think of it, has anyone survived life?
If you ask me, death is always staring you in the face, you
just don’t know it. Maybe the phrase refers to the proximity of it. Sometimes
it’s close and you know it and sometimes, it’s still close, but you don’t know
it.
Alongside Death, there is another entity that is staring us
in the face. It’s called Life. But we usually tend to ignore it, mainly due to
its agreeable nature. And forget with great enthusiasm that Life just as its nemesis
happens only once.
Here’s a question that I find answers much about Life – “When
was the last time you did anything for the first time?”
This was never meant to be a long post. I had once asked an old friend
about his philosophy of life and I leave you with his words:
"Be Free,
Get Rich,
Do Good,
Make a Quick Exit,
And Never Come Back"
