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.
