Life is the greatest gift
Yesterday,one of my colleagues Liu came back to work.We were so glad to see him again because he just came out from the ICU of a hospital.
There was a long-distance race held by our company two weeks ago. Liu was one of the competitors.The race was very exciting.The cheerleader was shouting loudly.In the middle of the competition,Liu suddenly fell on the ground. People rushed towards him to hold him and called his name,but he was unconscious and passed out.He was all sweating and his lips had turned into purple.Then he was sent to the nearest hospital very quickly.
Later, we heard that he was sent to the ICU because he was in a serious situation.His family members were so frightened to sign the “critically ill notice”.We all prayed for him.
Yesterday was a day that cheered everyone who cared about him up. Everyone felt so relaxed because he had dodged death.
He said that he felt very lucky and grateful to for coming back again.”When I was becoming unconscious,the sounds around me were becoming fainter and fainter ,and something in my consciousness told me that I was going to die”…
On the way back home,I was thinking about what Liu said and walking slowly.I suddenly realized that sometimes death can be so close to us.I asked myself:”what if I die young?”Oh,it was really a cruel question for me.The first thought came into my head was “I can not accept”!
I love my life and I always do.But still sometimes I spiral into the complaining mode and feel unsatisfied.The last few months,I was very busy and tired at work. This made me feel that my life was boring and I was a loser. I totally forgot things I liked and magnified my sadness.
When I looked back on it yesterday,I said to myself:”So what?What a big deal?”I could finally go through it after suffering all these days.
I’d like to say that life is the greatest gift to me.
