The day I entered mortuary, what I saw was undescribable.... Human beings laid down on bare floor and stark naked. They were more than fifty. Some were supported by jerry cans, some were placed on bare floor, some on tables and some on plank. Women and Men were together but were stoned dead with their private part uncovered.
When we pushed Dare inside, the attendant removed all the cloth on his body and my leader was stark naked and he was placed on a wood. I looked at him, he could not protest, he could not use his hands to cover his nakedness and I asked myself, what is this life all about?
Why are we struggling to possess everything?
Why are we having pride and ego as if we own the world?
Why can't we forgive one another and know that vanity over vanity and all is vanity?
See house owners, degree holders, car owners, lying on top of one another naked without shame. See different hair styles on the head of women and here they are stoned dead.
Life is nothing, position is for a while, riches and wealth is temporary. I don't know when am leaving this world but I have an idea of what will happen to me when am no more.
I want to be better than yesterday, I want to be more humble. I want to be more forgiving and I want to be more humane than before because I have seen that life is nothing and death is certain and it is a leveller of status in life.
Let us step on the sand softly as the floor is slippery.
