The other day someone asked me the meaning of "Resurrection". I answered at an impulse - It means "Rising from the dead". But then it got me thinking - how best to explain a word that holds such mystery in itself. How can their be a word for defining something which practically does not happen or rather is impossible? In school, we had a story in our text books where a mythical bird "Phoenix" had risen from its own ashes, and this was termed as "Resurrection". How very mesmerizing and enchanting. If only living beings could be revived once they're dead...
The world would not have known what "Loss" means..not known how it feels to depart forever from someone you love..not known the fear death beholds..not known the reverence for the almighty! Would that have been a better world? Opinions will differ on this motion. And I'm not going to side with any one specific opinion.
Death is natural. Plants wither to make space for new varieties. Animals perish to evolve into new species. The cycle of change is innate. But we say so only since we have not known another kind of world. Where people don't die, plants don't shrivel off, animals don't become extinct! What would happen if this was to be a reality? Well, one sure thing to come to everyone's mind would be that the planet would be overwhelmed with population of humans, animals and plants..we would be falling off the surface of earth and gravity might not be enough to hold us back! Wild imagination!
"Resurrection" - sounds extremely bewitching and fascinating...Everyone would want certain things to resurrect from their ashes while others would be good enough to remain buried deep somewhere. If only, we could choose...
Well, one thing I've resurrected recently is my blog..hope you like it and hope I keep it alive eternally...!
