Abbu Nasar and his body!

At some stage in the longevity of our life, comes in the debate of immortality. One may be associated with a deed that in abstract terms could make us immortal. In practical terms however, belief in immortality is generally associated with heavenly powers, not in the ad infinitum longevity of the human. That does not happen. Would it then be safe to assume that the shorter term in ‘office’ is greatly more blessed than one that takes forever to ‘turn in’.

I would assume that |If Abbu Nasar’s  body, despite its various and varied complications cooperates with him, He strides along to see it to its end, in the best way that he feels he might know, he can. This is not a wonder for him, and neither is it dependent on some complicated scientific research that he has been subjecting his body to. Abbuji  is a human, prone to all the benefits and discrepancies that humans go through, physically and mentally. If and when those setbacks have floored him to horizontal state, He has lain there quietly and taken the hit before getting up, albeit a bit wobbly, before the count of 10. He does not possess any secret potion glimmering in a bowl, under the watchful eyes of a hooded old enchantress, that mumbles rhythmic inanities, with the subtle rubbing of hands, and the eye shut head movements, skywards !

The repeated questioning often gives me impression that people either do not appreciate such state of mine or are keen for Abbu Nasar to stop. The problem however is that where he stops everybody would question why he did so. And vice versa !

In the end therefore, there really is no answer that needs to be given at all, on this count at least, for, if I may assess correctly it would eventually lead to the inevitable matter of mortality.
We may not necessarily believe in the theory of ‘having finished our task’ and therefore the need ‘upstairs’ before time. But for some the end does come strangely and at odd hours and times … and who shall and will explain its reason … !!

The freedom to ask shall lie with them ever. The freedom to reply to it or not, shall ever remain with us. Long may this difference lie and exist …

With love to all...
