"LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE". Every second is precious. After learning about the Yeti Airlines’ flight crash on January 15th, 2023, I realized that our existence is uncertain, so we must live in the moment and enjoy all that we have. It is what it is; we can't even change it or go back in time. It is said that everything has its specific day; it might be sooner or later.
We are born on a certain day and die on a certain day. Everything has its time. It might sound scary, but it is life. We hardly know what might happen to us or our nearest and dearest within the next moment since life is so chaotic. Maybe this is the reason it is advised that we should always prioritize our relationships above our own ego. since we never know who we'll end up leaving behind after our final words. We could regret it for the rest of our existence if those final words were not acceptable. It will haunt us forever. We are so worried about our future, but what about the present? We should be able to go with the flow without feeling the pressure. We should have faith. We might be able to change the future, but we can't change the present, so we should be able to live for today, not for the future. Life is a beautiful game, so we need to be able to handle it. Talking about the crash of Yeti Airlines, the victims never knew that it was their last day, or that the Russian girl who came to visit Nepal knew that she would die here, or that we never knew that dark day might exist. Did the victims of the crash know about today's incident, or did those who canceled today's flight know that they just did their best to cancel the flight? The answer is no; we never know what might happen. Since the incident, these questions have been haunting me: what is the cost of living? Whose fault is it? How many mothers' wombs are weeping? How many houses lost their light of hope? How many dreams are burned with the body? I pay my respects to those who have passed away.
Don't worry about what's ahead; just cherish what you have, be grateful for what's gone, and prepare yourself mentally and physically for what's next. No matter how much money you earn, you'll never have another moment like this one. It's impossible to bring it back once it's gone. We only have the present, so make the most of it. The most important thing you can do for your or my life is to learn to live for today, because we will all die at some point. Life is unpredictable, a fact that is obvious. Value everything you have. You might end your life regretting everything you did in your life, so live for the moment.
