Why We Make
Will I make or do enough to be remembered often or at least occasionally? What about you? Isn’t this enough reason to share your gift with the world?
یہ مجھے چین کیوں نہیں پڑتا ایک ہی شخص تھا جہان میں کیا
“Why do I find it so hard to have peace of mind, was there only one person in this world?”
When I heard these words of Jaun Elia it was if he was speaking to my ruh (soul). I could tell from his eyes, even before I heard his words, that he knew loss and deceit just like I did. It felt strange to be connected to someone so similar in disposition and yet so displaced in time. Am I from a bygone era or was he too far ahead of his? I don’t know. Perhaps both of us do not belong to where we come from but I am glad nonetheless to have some spent some time with a fellow sufferer. I wonder what I will make or do that will make my name come alive again on foreign lips long after I am gone. Will I make or do enough to be remembered often or at least occasionally? What about you? Isn’t this enough reason to share your gift with the world?
