Crazy About You

How strange it is that humans know the value of everything only after losing it. Knowing the value of health before sickness, wealth before poverty, working before unemployment is really very difficult for people like me who do not know the value of the moment. Yes, I am sick today and I am writing this post just out of boredom. While everyone has taken a path and is going, just staring at life… being sick serves to think a little, grieve a little, and rest a little…
When I say sickness, it’s not like my arm or leg got cut off, or I lost one of my sensory organs… Mine is just a cold/flu mix of drunkenness…
I don’t know if you’ve ever returned from the edge of death, but I returned a few times. In a way that I can call completely destiny. If I tell the story, it will be long, but I can say this: if I am alive, it is because Allah wants it. There is no other explanation. Actually, our lives are in His hands but, when the being called human experiences it, they learn it in a different way, in a way that they will never forget. We do not forget, but its effect decreases over time. Perhaps the day will come when we will not be able to drink a glass of water by ourselves, and we will search for these times we labeled as bad with the flashlight of our phone. But it will be too late. Or, by finding these moments we recorded on the internet;
“Yes, I am the one who wrote this post and I am writing it now at the age of 70, with one foot in the grave. My death is a matter of time but I cannot die… I want to die now!” we will make such a comment…
So why does life do this to us? When I think to myself, maybe life shows us the most mercy…
While a deer-like creature is chased to death by a predatory cat, a cow with a broken leg waits for death alone in nature, and watching these on the TV screen saying “Oh, dear,” “Oh, poor thing” is like a futile effort to keep our own conscience alive…
Life has a trap.
Sometimes it shoves it in our eyes, if we can love without hurting…
Sometimes it leaves us on the road, if we can run…
Sometimes it leaves us in the elevator, if we can get out…
Sometimes it makes us sick, if we can understand…
