Why are you MAD?
I don’t mean to offend anyone but sometimes people just crack me up. I know I may have a bit of a skewed perception of how life should be but sometimes people’s lives look so perfect to me and then they say something like my grandma died and my grandpa was so angry at God. This shocks me. I don’t know if you know this or not but we are all going to die. Hopefully most of us will make it to 70. If a tragedy happens to someone late in life and their response is I can’t believe this is happening to me, I have always been a good person, what does that mean? That people who are bad have to deal with tragedy young? These comments always shock me.
I may be a bit cynical or a realist but if you make it to 30 without having to overcome a challenge, consider yourself the exception to the rule. I remember once reading a Ziggy cartoon where Ziggy was looking up toward God asking WHY me?? God said WHY NOT YOU? You see, we are all meant to learn to say good-bye, to hurt, to grow, to stretch, to let go and to trust God, not be angry at him. Suffering will come to all of us in some degree, so let me grieve but not be foolish or shocked when someone dies. It’s going to happen to all of us, there is no need to be surprised or angry when it does, no one gets out alive. I know it’s tragic when there is a young person’s death or a sudden and unexpected death, I have experienced the death of a brother and a dear young friend, but when we have lived a full life it’s ok to let that person go with some grief but not anger. We are all going to die and when my time comes, I hope my life and legacy is celebrated with no bitterness. Let’s stop being mad and start living life to the fullest!
