Pain of Death.......

Yesterday night I was reading this one post. I forgot which site I read it from and it was about death, which inspired me to write about my very own experience of death. No I didnt have a near death experience, but merely a thought on it. Given any normal day, the thought may be full of arguments and logic, but when you are sick, the thoughts are just taken to a new level.
I was about 21 that time, was doing my internship somewhere. One not fine day at all, I was very sick. That was the time all this SARS case was heavily reported and spoke about. SO u know when u r sick, it is automatically assumed that there is a high chance of u being infected. Nevertheless the doctor proved me wrong and guess fate wants to play around with me a lillte longer before it finishes of my chapter.
Back to the topic...So I was sick and all...And I was suppose to drive back from my training. The bad part was that the road I travel, will be always full of traffic. And to make matters worse, that day the traffic was even heavier due to police road block. Only Malaysian force can come up with the idea of having a road block where the traffic is already crawling. Kudos....
So u know I was driving, a manual, and take it from me only during this times a manual driver will wish to drive an auto car. Furthermore I am burdened with my faithful fever. So it all just made things worse to the extent, that I felt like giving up. I decided to either stop the car in the middle of the road or just go and ramn it somewhere.
At that thought, my pain was unbearable and my mind went all crazy to begin thinking about death. I thought I am going to die. Silly right? Yeah but when you are in pain, anything can happen.
I start thinking, it is better of me being dead. Then I thought about my parents - it saddened me greatly to lose them. I mean I imagined how sad they would be if they lost me. After 21 years of breeding me, and I'm gone, just like that. All their efforts and ambitions and dreams will be shattered. I knew i was never expressive enough when it came showing my love to my family members, but I ain't cruel enough to let those who loves me to be in pain.
And then of course, I also thought about the girl I love. Well she was with someone else then and with someone else now. I am the in between of hatred and more hatred. Anyway, I love her so much, that I wasn't willing to part from her. I am not willing to take my eyes of her. I want to protect her badly considering the fact that violence is taking a toll even then. I dont care even if she can't be with me, but I just wanna be there for her whenever she needed me.
All this thoughts piereced through me hard that I shed tears in the car, feeling so weak and without me realising that I was infront of the church that I used to go often then. Thats when I realised how scary can death be. Its not the process, but the aftermath that freaked me out. Guess I made it personal policy not to take unnecessary risks for the sake of my loved ones. Of course from that point on loads of things has crossed paths, and again my policy changed.. But anyway, as I was mourning with all these pains, the church looked like a big comfort to me.
Somehow suddenly i got inspired, and decided not to give up as I am still young and have people to keep happy. At that point I just took my car (actually, was my sis's car), to the left and to the right like nobody's bussiness and giving all those who honk me the taste of my middle finger. I managed to reach home safely but only at 9pm. And my work ended at 6pm.
If it was not for my sudden inspiration, guess I would have been back even later. Maybe I would have parked the car somewhere and I waited for the traffice to ease before I step on it, maybe I would have been dead causing some massive accident. I wouldnt know what would have happened. But I do know that I am alive today to write about my experience.
I was stubborn, not willing to submit to some mere thoughts and illness...Thats how my faith grew along the way. Honestly, at times of trouble, I think being stubborn can be a a great medicine most of the times...
Where Fantasy and Reality Cross Paths....thoughts of death is more crucifying than death itself......
