How Useful Is Your Living?
In biology back then in my secondary school, I was told that the life cycle of every living thing ends with death. Implying that no matter the length of life of a living thing, there must come a point called death.
Death then can be seen as a debt owned by everything that is living either plant or animal. Some will be unfortunate to pay too early while others will pay at the rightful time but whatever way it is, there is a period of paying that debt called death.
People tend to be so afraid to die but with my life so far on earth, I have come to discover that death is not the worst thing that could ever happen to a man or a woman but living a life of no purpose and direction. Where your impact is neither felt here or there, where your presence is the same as your absence. Where your absence is not felt and your presence is not noticed is a life worst than death.
Praying to have a long life is a good thing but the big question is
Why ask for a long life whereas you are adding no value with the life you are living?
It is good to live long but are the people around you enjoying your presence or they are wishing for your death? Is your living affecting any life positively that you desire to live longer? Is there any one at all that is grateful to God for your life? Is your life a source of blessing or a bundle of sorrow to people? These and many more questions you and I need to answer before requesting a long life from God.
It should be noted that God never created anyone to be useless in life but the path you decide to go with your life determines how useless or useful your life will turn to be. I end by asking again; how useful is your living and my living?
