Born Again

You must have heard the expression “every day is a new life” or something like that but have you ever wondered that might actually be very true? That it is not just a motivational saying? Compare the process of a day with the life cycle of a man. While you are sleeping, this is you in the womb; resting and waiting. Dawn is your queue of going out in the world. You wake up; leave the bed (i.e., the womb) and are cut off from the umbilical cord; which, in this case can be your warm blanket. The time until you reach the place of your routine activities (college, workplace) is the time till preteens while you are figuring out your surroundings, getting used to it, finding new stuff. The time until noon is the teenage. As the day progresses, so does your life and you enter adolescence. Dusk is you turning forty; your energy fully utilized but still you try to make the best of this time before night approaches. And then you feel tired after working all day, wanting rest and peace. In life, that is when you get old. Some don’t sit back even at this time… but then there are so many different kinds of people and we are only sticking to the basics here. And while you are lying on your bed, ready to call it a day, you look back on how your day went, very much like how when you get old you reminisce on your life. And then slowly but surely, sleep (or on the bigger picture, death) takes over and you give yourself over to it gladly.
