FIRST AND LAST MEETINGS

We all meet countless number of people in our lives. In course of time some of them become close to us. Some even become part of our lives. However in some instances some of these people develop hatred towards us. These may further change into revenge and ultimately end up in enmity.

Similarly some of these people we meet, it could be the last meeting. When we analyse our meetings we may find that on each day we meet new people.  Also we may unknowingly make goodbyes to a number of people. If we can anticipate or understand such situations we can prepare ourselves to confront such meetings. In such first meeting if we can present ourselves in the most cordial manner with good expression of love our images shall remain with those people in a pleasant shape.

In the same way when we leave someone we must ensure that we create sweet impression in their hearts, which may remain with them for quite long. Our timely expression of love will certainly remain with them for a long time. Therefore, whenever we meet someone for the first time, see that enough love and regards are poured into them.

We must keep in our minds that every meeting can be a last too. Even when we eat our daily food, it can be our last eating on the earth. Taking a bath can be the last bath and we may never enter into the bathroom again. Walking on the road can be a last walk through that road. Buying something from the shop can be our last purchase on earth. When we get into our room and close the door we must know that we may never come out of the room alive.

And that is life. Though we talk big about our lives, the fact is that we do not know anything about it.
