I went to speak at a program tonight, and right after I finished, I saw this woman get up, holding her child, and rush out of the auditorium. Before the whole thing happened, the woman was even contributing her thoughts to what I was saying. We were having a nice discussion, with us laughing about certain funny comments.
But it just happened in a split second. When she was leaving, I saw other people get up to follow her. Fortunately, we were already ending, so we just proceeded to end the program. Afterwards, I found out what happened, and I was told the child went unconscious all of a sudden. He wasn’t sick or anything. He just went unconscious.
I’ve never seen a woman run so fast like that in my life. I could see the woman almost lose her sanity while seeing her son almost lose his life. In that moment, I couldn’t even imagine what was going on in her head. You know what? I’m sure nothing was probably going on in her head. All she wanted was for her son to gain consciousness.
Today, someone asked me if I ever feel like giving up in life or not doing anything when I think about the fact we will all die someday. You know what I said? I said no, I never think of that. But after what happened this evening, I couldn’t even help but think about it.
I’m happy the child gained consciousness after receiving medical attention. But then thinking about it, we wake up each and every day to hustle for money, but what really matters is our life. And sometimes, it just takes a split second to make you remember that all other things happening in life are just bonuses. The main and most important thing in life is life itself.
