What God Signed His Name To

Apart from doctors in several hospitals not being able to attend to patients just because half of the hospital bills are yet to be paid, just like I discussed in one of the posts two days ago, they leave the patient to pass through pain and maybe eventually die. Looking at that situation, there is something that happens when we see someone take their last breath.

There is always something in us that melts while the room changes. It is nothing dramatic. Just the silence. It will just be as if something enormous has left a space that looks exactly the same but isn't anymore.

And that particular moment, I have been close to it twice in my life. The two times it struck me, it wasn't grief first. It was firstly the weight. That sudden inner feeling that I cannot deny that what just ended is far from small.
Whatever was present in that person who just died, let me say the remembering, the thinking, the ability to feel Saturday differently from Sunday were something that no human alive could probably ever recreate or rebuild.

The holy book of Genesis says that when God created us, he made us in his own image and breathed life directly into all of us. The book did not say "poured" or "placed." It said breathed. And this looks like something very personal beyond human comprehension. And I have thought over this over and over again, and I guess that is one of the reasons why scientists haven't created a human being yet. Though they have tried.

And in the society we now live in today, each of our lives gets assigned values based on usefulness. What we produce. How much we earn. The type of connection we have, the family we came from, and whether how fast our treatment will be possible. And now, from my what I have seen, we now have a system that is telling us that some lives matter more than others.

But the original instructions that our creator has given were very simple and clear. We all carry something God personally placed inside us. And this alone should make us handle each other's lives more carefully than ever.

Thank you for reading.
