The Fragile Existence

Blinded by youthful vigor and energy, we the youngsters move on with our life in fast lane without considering the fragility of our existence . The previous day I had an experience which again reminded me of the narrow existence of life of humans, who are supposedly "the lords of this world"
A night in the general ward of a Civil hospital gave me enough reason to swallow the ego of ignorance and accept the superiority of the eternal time over human dominance.
A young man smeared in blood, writhing as the nurses clean the wound.
A old man with respiratory ailments, struggling to breathe, as attendants put him on ventilation.
And amidst all of these, a battle almost lost, is being fought.To revive the down trodden, to fix the broken and to challenge the forbidden.
And at moments as such do I feel the essence of my existence, that how fragile is my existence.
