Moments don't die out rather they
transform and sublimate to memories. So in absolute or relative sense it is
about transformation and evolution of one state to another and not death, as
death etymologically means a full-stop/pause. Chronologically every being and
becoming is part of the consistent and constant evolutionary process that
technically speaking is an up gradation of the earlier version. Life is all
about mastering the survival instincts and techniques. We defy and stand above
death in our daily existence and it signifies even if we are aware of the
ultimate harsh reality we don't meekly yield to it. we tower over the tide and
tower tall and look straight in to the face of death and chuckle. Its like
seemingly though we appear to be engulfed by death itself we don't embrace it
without fighting. A fighter (though arithmetic's of life could mean a loser) is
still a winner.

Having a spine to fight or combat the daily
exacting demands of life is a winning process per se. Perhaps those demands keep
us little busy and selfish. However "just not returning a call properly" feeling
is too early to say that the past dreams of togetherness is defunct now. Could
not we be a wee bit Quixotic to say past dream has metamorphosed to a better
dream as the past dream seen together could have given you a little spark of
happiness of escapism from the daily drudgeries of life...it had given you
something to temporarily cheer about and that's what is life.. hoping against
hope and be cheerful about and life is too short or little to be sad about
anything..

Also the dream must have over the period of time evolved to be a better dream
tinged with a dash of realism .. of course the co-traveller /way-farer of the
dream could have been replaced.. and again that's what is evolution/adaptability
all about.. So rather we need to look forward to life with great hope enthusiasm
and cheerfulness and not through the narrow prism of death.. its just a
temporary pause before a journey of higher end and pursuit begins... Also there
is not and there never should be a contented heart.. Contentment or happiness is
all about spreading happiness.. not keeping it confined to self. then it becomes
selfish.. End of the day how many happy hearts I leave behind should be the
guideline and criteria for acceptance of bodily death... Mostly we don't fear
death but worry about how many things are left behind the schedule undone before
willy nilly resigning to the in-escapable/inevitable.. Realistically all great
people with a tag of immortality attached to their ex-id cards have defied death
squarely and stood tall beyond death... So we need to have a little cheerful
hindsight and laugh over the momentous moments and not as a resignation of past
but as a sublimation of past "fare forward oh my co-traveller"... The pursuit
should persist as the desire dies ... Also lets upgrade our versions with better
anti-virus/firewall system :-))
