A Walk through the Valley of ShadowsA Story by heyitssadieA story from the point of view of death. To introduce you to the way he sees this world.If there was one thing I could say to those who are left behind,
it would be this: “I
know it’s a little complicated. I know you’re confused. I know you need a
better explanation. I know you ‘deserve’ a better explanation actually. But I
want you all to think as if you were in my place. I have been given a job that
I cannot abandon. It’s not in my ‘top ten list of things to do’ to suck out the
souls of helpless humans. Look from my perspective.” Let
me show you what i see. If you behold the world the way I look at it, you would
grasp that those who die in deadly accidents, are not the reason you should
wear black. If you behold the world the way I look at it, you would realize
that the people who recklessly destroy themselves everyday are not pitiable; it’s
the spirit that has to bear the burden of their souls through the journey to
the Underworld. If you look deeper into the Duat, you would not see a virtuous
Earth as it was when time began; you would see the world full of vice and
depravities. Immorality everywhere. Where it is more profitable to die rather
than to live. I ask you? Do people think of those who live for them when they
head towards alcohol bars? Do thoughtless teens think of morale when they start
acting with gangs on the top of the police’s ‘wanted’ list. Do inconsiderate
girls think about those helpless mothers who do not have the ability to
reproduce when they decide for an abortion? No they don’t, do they? That
is the problem with humans. They think their race is superior to any other race.
And by other races I mean not just animals, but spirits. Spirits of life, hope,
death, anger and many more that would take years to be noted down. Humanity is
not at all like us spirits. Not all humans are like Mother Teresa or Abdul
Sittar Eidhi. My
point here is that walls crumble, wood burns, paper tears, humans- well, they
die. They are far from being innocent. Even a good person is bad person who
hasn’t gotten caught yet. So, do not waste time and tears on those who
selfishly leave you behind. Everybody does that. Either lack of confidence,
will power or the ability to differentiate between right and wrong leads to
their death. And all of these things are under their and only their
control. © 2016 heyitssadieAuthor's Note
