DEATH IS HOUNDING

 

It is a shame to see how the media is hounding and trying it's best to get masala action in name of someones death. As a nation we have become insensitive. I used to do stories once upon a time but there was a limit. There was something called privacy. Today with the advent of social media everybody wants to give there opinion on what happened. When we start pushing so much people will shut off. Sometimes to get a controversial story you have to be sensitive to the other persons feelings. Death in any family is never taken lightly unless a person was ailing but yet you will still want a person to get well. Sudden death of a healthy person is difficult to accept. 

Last year in a span on 6 months I lost 2 people to cardiac arrest and 1 to a heart attack. None of their family members thought they would die the way the did. My cousin sister husband  44yrs danced at a wedding went home happy felt uneasy went to the hospital in bike with his brother and died on the strecher when they put him. 

A friend my daughter classmates mom 36yrs was getting her kids ready for school. she collapsed on the floor and died. She had a cardiac arrest. Nothing one could do. A freinds father was playing with his triplet grandkids he collapsed and died. Had a cardiac arrest. It was sudden. 

While I was attending to my mother-in-law in hospital who had a open heart valve replacement surgery she recovered when the chance of her surviving a surgery was 20%. Waiting the ICCU room a lady lost her son 25yrs old. He went to play football. Felt uneasy came to the hospital and died. The ground was 5 minutes away. 

My husband colleague 48yr felt uneasy in office. Felt like he was filled with gas left office early. Drove home and died at the door step in the arms of his wife. It is scary how life is. It's such a common thing. People dying of heart attack or cardiace arrest. 

Life is uncertain. We need to give the family the time and space to mourn. By going on hounding how did it happen? Why did it happen? and hounding to get anwsers if we stay back we shall get to know. They are like any other family.

We take one thing and then stretch it so much that no one wishes or cares about the consequences anymore. Life is uncertain. Live it today. Be true to yourself. Don't be a fakebook whom no one knows. Enjoy the moment. Don't jump to conclusions. 

Opinions are like assholes everyone has one. And speculation we make "is" you know what comes from these holes. So don't speculate on every aspect. Give it time. Put yourself in the shoes of the ones who have lost a loved one. Would you want to be plasterred on the news 24*7. 

There are many issues, like why are so many people dying of heart attacks these days. Why is the death on the rise with no age limit.  

One thing common in all these cases is STRESS in some form or the other. It's time as a NATION we start to learn to be STRESS free. We need to change our system to remove STRESS. The content we see also causes STRESS. It kills you without you knowing it. It eats you up. STRESS of education, studies, money, job stabilty, income growth, wealth, good looks, weight loss,  etc. LEARN TO BE HAPPY. Try and put content in a sensitive way. There are many good things happening. Put some positive content on TV. Show positive things too. We need to see good things too. We can not be a crime petrol channel or a court where we pass judgment based on our thought.
