The Creator had done His part and He is continuously doing it. Creating more and more people. We are brought into this world and the lucky ones get to know their real parents. Unfortunately, some have never met their parents and they don't know how a mother's or father's love feels. The Creator made us all equal and we are all blessed.
When our mothers are still carrying us, our fathers are busy thinking of beautiful names to give us. Names like Wilhelmina. 😊 . When we are later delivered, everyone that is happy shows it with gifts and prayers. We grow into matured people and we start acting like we belong into this world. The very fortunate ones grow old and older.
But what happens when they die? When we die? Do people wail out and ask the "why were they taken so soon?" questions? Do parents regret their precious times wasted during labour? I don't think so.
People accept what just happened and let go. Live it in God's hands because He is the one that takes His people.
Do we cry throughout our lives? Do we wish for them to come back? Maybe, but they never did. We forget about them, although not completely. We stop talking about them because of their names and memories that keep hurting us more. We stop wishing for them to come back because that's impossible. Unless we die and meet them where they are.
After years (we) will be completely forgotten and not known by anyone. No one will ever know we existed, where we attended schools or how smart we were. Think about it.
Do we know people from the 17th Century? People excited then, they attended the most recognized schools which we don't hear of anymore. They were smart as well but we don't know most of them anymore.
Even our great great grandmothers (if we even know them) don't remember their great-great-great-greatest grandmothers grandmothers.
We will be like them too. We live now, but in a century or two we will be gone. Like we never existed.
Give it a century and nobody will ever know I, Kalapungame, once wrote this.

So don't be afraid of being forgotten. You not the first. And if the world doesn't end tomorrow, you surely won't be the last.
