CHERISH PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE ALIVE AND NOT WHEN THEY ARE DEAD

I have lived and walked this earth for quite some time now. I may not be old but then I have come to realize that some interesting things happen in life that I don't and will never understand. One of those interesting things I have come to realize is that the most people you have in your life will never cherish you until you are dead. Obviously I have not been dead before but I have witnessed different situations where the nicest things are said to a dead person meanwhile nobody really cared about him or when when they were alive. What pains me the most of that, that person probably needed those words of encouragement whiles alive which could probably change something or bring some light into his life. It is very fascinating how all of a sudden a dead person becomes so important to people he was probably worthless to when he was alive. It is however heart breaking when these things happen and I keep asking myself one very important question. Why can't we cherish people when they are alive. No matter how busy we are, we just have to try and make time and spend time with the people in our lives. Create memories out of the moments we have because those memories are priceless memories which cannot be replaced. We should get to know people and give people the chance to know us and not just stand afar and try to figure them out. One of the painful things that could ever be is not getting to know someone and then the person passes away. All you can say is 'I wish I got a chance to know him' or ' I wish I had given him a chance'. Sometimes our experiences turn to push people away and because those people cherish the relationship they have with us, they always pull themselves back into our lives. But the truth is that one day we may push them away and they may never return.
