Treat Me Well While I Am Alive

Everyone needs love

PEOPLE are sometimes sick and then die, not because of lack of food, but because of the lack of love!

Everyone needs love. Young children need love, and it is the same for elderly people. Some people behave as though they can operate in isolation, but they too need love.

Love can sometimes be stronger than medication. When a child is sick and receives the attention of either parent, it is amazing to see the recovery of that child.

Medication often heals the physical parts of people. However, when someone is broken hearted or depressed, medicine may not cause them to recover.

As love is cultivated, the duration for people to be restored to good health varies. Many medications may require people to use them for a certain number of days, for example, two times daily for seven days. But with love, it may be the connection with someone they respect and love, and after one interaction or conversation, all the challenges disappear. People need more love and less medicine!

It is difficult to love someone without having a relationship with them. This relationship is not restricted to companionship but includes many other types of relationships. People without companions may still have access to many different relationships. The challenge for some is that they do not establish relationships with others, so there is no one to share the love with them.

 

Forgive others

Because death is often sudden, do not hold negative thoughts about others in your heart. It is worrying to see how some people hold on to negative feelings about others for years. When this happens, the person who has treated their heart like a garbage receptacle may soon suffer from an illness that medical professionals may not have any medication for.

Forgiving must be something every human wants to do for others. Many animals forgive each other because they have to co-exist in the same area and they may need each other’s help.

People sometimes go to work depressed because someone has not forgiven them. They could be distracted because of this, leading to accidents, as their heart is heavy.

The mistakes some people make, and which cause some of them to live the way they do, may have something to do with a lack of forgiveness. In many intimate relationships, if something affects one person and the other person chooses not to forgive them, the offended partner may be belittled or uncomfortable, and that can happen for an extended period. When such things happen, it often affects the relationship, and over time, both people no longer see joy in each other. If they are to forgive each other and work toward improvements, then that joy will quickly return to them, and they will begin to enjoy each other’s company.

People must practise forgiveness every day! They should try to not let the day end without them seeking to forgive the person who offended them. Life is too precious to hurt others or to hold the hurt others caused within your heart.

If someone you know died suddenly because you did not forgive them, how will you feel? Every person has a purpose, so forgive others and allow them to live to their full potential. Be a source of encouragement and help them to become better. Be the shoulder they can lean on. Be willing to see beyond people’s faults and to help them, as your best efforts will not make you perfect.

 

You cannot help people when they are gone

There is no question whether people will die. When they die, there is nothing that you can do to help them, even if they are close friends or family members.

When a person dies, the body that allows the spirit to operate is no longer available. Therefore, you are unable to touch them. They are unable to spend time with you. Even if you cook their favourite food, they are unable to consume it. Dead people cannot do the things that living people can do.

 

Death is often sudden

Love everyone, as you may not have the opportunity to wish them goodbye before they depart to a place where many others have gone, and many more people will go.

When a woman is pregnant, there is some possible time frame when the baby will be delivered. For example, seven months or nine months. Many babies are born within less time than average. However, their birth is predicted within a certain time frame. Unlike birth, death does not provide a timetable.

If a person enrolls at a learning institution, they will know of the cost and duration of their studies. Once they study according to the timeline and timetable given to them by the learning institution, then their studies are expected to be completed at a specific time. Death has no timetable and often does not warn when it will impact someone’s life.

There are people who go to bed one evening, and when others are expecting them to wake up for another day to continue with life, they receive the depressing news that that person did not see another day. A workmate sometimes speaks with one of their colleagues at the end of their workday, and the next news they hear about that person is that that person did not live to see another day. While death is universal and will happen, no one knows when it will happen and who it will happen to.

There is an old saying that death does not respect people—even rich people die and leave behind all they have. People who own banks will also die. The richest man and woman will even die. Money may help to prolong the life of people that have a medical issue, but it does not stop death.

No spending in the grave

Money is made to meet the financial needs of people and must be spent on earth. To spend money, a person must be alive. Some people have a lot of money they have been saving for many years, and when they die, someone else misuses the fund and spends it quickly, without accomplishing anything of substance.

Savings are excellent, and people must have some savings. However, what importance will saving have if you cannot enjoy what you worked for? It is always important to make sacrifices, and those who save have something to show for it. But save some money and spend some.
