TAXONOMY OF ‘DEAR’ AND ‘DEAD’
The only visible difference of
these words are the alphabets ‘r’ and ‘d’ making the words so similar. ‘Dear’
is not always far from LOVE; as it is quite usual for friends and lovers to use
the word more frequently. ‘Dead’ on the other hand is a more fearsome word
except used in laboratory for what we sometimes consider quite insignificant
living organisms.
When these words come together in
our daily life affair and affect human beings, then it becomes something to
worry about. Recently, I have had to endure the loss of many dear friends,
relatives, friends’ friends and friends’ relatives. It is quite awful to lose
someone very close especially when you are in the process of building a dear
relationship with the deceased.
As I travelled to a part of the
North-Central region of Nigeria in the past week, shocking stories of loss of
dear friends came as news. To the
memories of our dear dead (dead dear) which we cannot bring back and to our GOD
who created us…though all we can do is mourn for our loss, we move on to
continue to make life worth it for others who we can assist.
Stop sorrowing; move further to
enrich the lives around you. May the strength of GOD comfort, uphold, uplift
and encourage you.
Best wishes…DESIRE
