php Then What …… - Kindia Mukami

Then What ……

I look at the world and wonder. What’s all this for? Honestly, what is the use of all these things? The trees, wind, the birds of the air, the human body, love, joy, suffering etc.

Is it to grow us or shrink us? Of course, it can go both ways but still, then what? I have watched humans so closely; birth, learn a few things here and there, adolescence, teenagehood, adulthood, old age then death. But we know not everybody gets to go through all these stages. For some it’s birth then death directly or birth, teenagehood, adulthood then death, in some cases its death even before the chance of seeing this world. It could go either way

Still the question remains: Then what after all this? Then what after you’ve served your time here on earth? What happens next? I guess we’ll never know the full truth but only survive on speculations.

These are the kind of questions that you know have no eligible answers but here I am still questioning and here you are reading this. Two souls who know not what to expect. Two souls connecting but not fully connecting.

I’ll tell you this my sweet reader, do not tire yourself with too much thinking. Let the unanswered questions rest and go do something you love. Go have that coffee, or skate or talk to your loved ones. Because at the end of it all, when you are face to face with death the big question will be: Did I live to the fullest? Did I do everything I said I was going to? Did I truly live?

Go live your life just how you want. Not existing but truly living. Shall we?

    Such a good piece 👍. Life is unpredictable and some puzzles of it we can’t get to solve them. So what? We live today, knowing we’ve got today. The past is gone it needs to be left there. The future is unknown.so all we have is today. Let’s live our today fully. I loved the last part.

      Thank you Peace. I couldn’t agree more, the past is gone and it needs to be left there. Most of us tend to forget this a lot of times. Let’s live today fully!

    Everything present in this world is for human beings to experience and this gets to shape us in the way we carry out ourselves to the point that we fulfilled and content.
    So yes we will never get to know what to expect but we find ourselves writing our own chapters with our own experiences.The main thing is to make sure you live your life to the fullest before your time to leave comes.

    Hi Mukami, good to have you back! I see here you have tackled the age-old conundrum of the meaning of Life. Why are we here? What are we doing here? Is our purpose tangible? Why is there so much chaos in the world? What happened to the good guys? Are the bad guys winning? Why are the bad guys winning (LOL)? I am yet to meet anyone who can give me a decisive reasoning of our existence. The best I got was “you were needed here so deal with it!” (LOL). My take is that is must remain a mystery. It simply must! Humans are a chaotic breed of inhabitants of the Universe! I feel this is God’s way of putting us in our place. We are normally excessively proud of “our achievements” so you can imagine if that door to knowing the answer to this was to be just titled by even an inch! Chaos would reign! God in His eternal wisdom so perfectly decided to make this such an elusive and ambiguous attempt at revealing the true meaning of our existence. Thank you for rocking the cradle!

      Oliver thank you for this. You’ve said it so beautifully. It must remain a mystery! Our chaotic nature and knowing the answers to such secret questions of life would be something…..I can’t find the exact word that fits.
