My Confrontations with Death

The title may sound weird but is it not Death a reality? We live between Birth and Death. As a Doctor I have to go through the karma of being an innocent spectator to an event termed Death. The duty of the Doctor is to ferry mortals from the dreaded islands of bad health and mortality to the ever green blissful meadows of good health and immortality. The first said is possible but never the second since in the eyes of the Laws of Creation all are equal and death spares none . It is indeed a lesson of humility and acceptance of human limitations when the Healer in the Doctor is unable to win the battle for his fellow human being in his confrontation with Death. The Doctor also realises the futility of expertise when he or she meets The Waterloo on the domains of his own human existence. Acceptance and expression of truth is bitter but better for every mortal because one cannot promise to conquer a mirage on the desert 😔
