TRILLION PROMISES : ONE CATASTROPHE

This is a bit contrary to my previous blogs. Here I'll try to derive the philosophical dictum out of a fictional story , entitled "Trillion promises : One Catstrophe".
Its a great pleasure to take you all into the ultimate macroscopic view of life and relationships and how futile and how ephemeral can life be. A nite before the catastrophe , miilions and trillions of promises are made. A young boy makes a promise to take the love of her life in his new car the next morning. Another boy promises his old mother to make her see to the doctor the next day. A husband promises her wife , that he'll soon be returning home. A boy decides to express his love for the first time to his love the next day. But that very nite a catastrophe happens. Be it any , the strangest thing that happens in my story is that all those people who made the promises only are dead. Now this is one thing where you may say , that it would have mattered to the people who are alive and who knew that some body promised them something, and thay may cry over it remembering again and again. But  whats in the case of that girl who never knew that the boy with whom she used to spend time was going to propose her the next day. Lets grill into this angle a bit more. In this particular case the girl would be able to live the life happily because she would never be able to discover that the dead boy had feeling towards her , but lets reverse the deaths in this case. If in case the girl would have died , I guess its clear how hard it would have been for that boy , who was about to propose her the next day.But now cant even see her anymore. The life of that boy is one damned into a bottomless pit where his mouth is clothed in and his eyes covered with black robe. He can never speak or shout and say his feelings.
The underlying premise is , that if we put on the macroscopic lenses and look into the lives of almost 6 trillion people on this earth , which includes people speaking different languages , living in different continents , who in their life time would not be able to visit all their favorite places , would not be able to meet their icons , their dream merchants , their fantacies, how those trillion people make a promise everynite  which gives a meaning to the next morning. How the emotions define our lives , that people keep on crying on their near and dear ones once they loose them. So its not the death which is the greatest surprising thing on this planet , but it is the human brain which is the origin of all the emotions , all the grief , all the pain , all the anger ,all the love. Its one thing that makes life livable and also makes life a living hell at times.
Everyday a new love story blossoms in the brightness of sunshine. Every nite a loved one caresses his or her beloved , to make her believe that he will continue to love him or her till his death bed. But life spoils the whole game at times.
Since ages people have walked through the sames paths , walked through the same city , seen the same moon together holding each other's hand , together felt the same chiiling wind , together saw the same autumn come and go. But then every one has a short life to live and some one or the other has to go .
The grimmest part of one's life is when you lose a life partner , or some one whom you loved. You could feel his or her absence and emotions. You may cry into that emptiness, and wish that he or she is watching or listening. But this never happens.
In my story a couple when once decided to look into each other's eyes till they breath their last , even they knew that it wont be possible. But thats the truth.
And Thats the complete spectrum of a miracle called......life , where a complete stranger becomes your heart and soul and one day the same stranger leaves you into the eternal emptiness of grief and madness.
Thats life my friends in her scariest faces shown upfront.
