Sometimes, we make pacts. trades. exchanges.
one gift for another
one companionship for another
one capability for another
and the list goes on...
but, has anyone ever come across a trade?
one life, for the sake of another.
What would you do, in the face of such a question.
Would you exchange your existence for someone to keep on living?
then come the even bigger questions
who is this person? why should i care? how are we related? what about my own damn life?
none of these questions, occurred. not once.
why so? i don't know.
when i asked myself this question. i came across an idea.
if by putting myself down for the sake of one person, wouldn't that create a chain reaction?
if that person keeps on living, who knows how many other people would be able to do the same too!
just because of this one person.
so, now, does it matter who this person is to you? or does it matter more what this person means to others around you?
sure, you can say, what happens if i matter more to the people around me?
i'm just 17. how many people do i really know? haha
and how many of these people actually need my presence or help?
none, zilch.
so i made a pact. a trade
my life. for someone else's
sweet, short, simple.
this person has lived twice my life. i will gladly make this pact
to set me peace
and at the same time plead for this person's safety.
Cheers.
