When the light burns out

"What will you give me if I spin that
straw into gold for you?" Rumpelstiltskin asked.
"My life," the miller's daughter answered.
"And everything that comes with it."
Ever wondered how vulnerable life can be ? At this very moment, someone out there is dying; someone out there just lost a kin; someone out there is beside the hospital bed of the person he loves most in his life, watching the reading of the electrocardiometer fall flat into a straight line; someone out there is struggling to hold on for dear life; someone out there just had a still born; someone out there is hung for killing another someone. Images of our lives play out like shadows on the wall - shrouded with darkness and all you can see are the outline of regrets which you have never learned to let go. Learn not to take things for granted because you'll never know that, any moment starting from now, that someone out there, might be you.
