كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial. to Us must ye return.
Al-Qur'an, 021.035 (Al-Anbiya [The Prophets])
Text Copied from DivineIslam's Qur'an Viewer software v2.910
Every person on earth live a life of their own, in their own unique way. But the starting and the ending is the same for everyone. Birth and death. Although there are several ways of labour (normal, breech, caesarean (as in the picture), etcetera) and situations/conditions that could lead to death, it all leads to the same thing. Labour/birth brings a new life to the face of the Earth, while death takes away a life from the it.
Growth that takes place between the two events is a very slow process, and we experience subtle changes that we could only be aware of when we look at old pictures. Nobody can discern how someone have changed in a week's time.
Some people consider humans as a complex machine. A group of complex parts joined together, controlled by an amazingly high-tech supercomputer (aka the brain). But as we all are aware of, this "machine" can only be turned on, and once it is turned off, there's no way of getting it back to life again. So when there's a fatal error, that's it for us. There's no rebooting whatsoever.
I guess it's high time for us to really think of what's our true purpose in life, and what do we really want to achieve within our limited time (which, I would like to point out could be a long or a short one) we have. So let us try our best to achieve our goals in life, while remembering that our lives have an ultimate goal, that we inevitably cannot run away from. Wallahualam.
