Not to be thought of

A few days ago, a famous Bulgarian rock musician died, shortly before his 80th birthday. In the media space, there was suddenly a lot of talk about him, so much that it was even annoying, they called him the patriarch of Bulgarian rock music and it was like: the patriarch this, the patriarch that. Personally, I'm not a fan of him, even though I listen to rock and metal music, for a number of reasons, mostly maybe because I'm not a fan of the time he made music and flourished, the way music was made and things were happening in general at that time, etc. Or I just don't like his music. So I just waited for the hysteria to pass, for everything to be said and the man to be forgotten, forever.

Then I happened to see something else on FB. A FB friend of mine, who I don't know personally, seems to be a well-known fashion photographer, posted about a fundraiser for his wife who developed a serious cancer a few months after their child was born. The woman is young, I can't tell how old exactly because she is a model and looks perfect. Through this case, I learned again enough about the hopelessness of Bulgarian healthcare and how people make campaigns to collect funds to go to, note: Turkey, to treat serious diseases, because there they can, they have the equipment, they have the specialists, they have the base and technology, have it all. And here I can only insert, by the way, because this is not the topic of the post, that maybe it was not a good idea that at the end of the 19th century Russia freed us from Turkey in order to enslave us from its side, because Turkey is currently tens and probably hundreds of years ahead in its development than us, the poor children of the communist-USSR regime.
Despite the funds collected and treatment started, the young woman unfortunately did not survive.

And probably on this occasion, but actually on the occasion of the two cases cited, I again stumbled upon a video that talks about how when a person dies on and around his birthday (the first case), or when he is very young (the second case), it means that this person has fulfilled his mission for which he was sent to earth.

Yes, I know that sounds very reassuring. After all, all of us, in one way or another, in one place or another, are looking for ways to calm down and find meaning in the things that happen to us, which often seem absurd, devoid of meaning, infinitely unfair. I often think of two friends of mine who left quite young, I think I still can't believe they are gone, and they were some of the few profoundly good people I know. One thing I know for sure, and everyone knows it, is that good people leave early. And whether these people have fulfilled their mission, who can say that?

But this now brings me to the other thought, the thought of certainty and uncertainty in life, something that was mentioned in a post and comment recently, for those who want everything in their lives to be planned and unfold in that planned way.
There's no certainty in life, is there? When I get up in the morning, I don't even have the certainty that I will have water, let alone if we talk about any diseases, conditions, I don't even know where I will live tomorrow, and if I will finally have a job. People who die so young, do they know when they wake up in the morning that: behold, today is the last day of my life.
No, nothing is known, from day one to day last, even if you plan something and it happens, in most cases it is some kind of coincidence, not a standard and part of the rules of the game.

On the other hand, I have been observing in the last days and weeks something else, it somehow sticks out to me precisely because of this concept of uncertainty in life, where it is not clear what will happen to you in every single day of your life.
In recent weeks I have heard and saw pictures of several weddings of very young couples I know vaguely. People maybe in their early 20s.

Young people getting married really amazes me basically always because, you know what the divorce rate is in the first place. And if our parents were able to stay together for one reason or another, DESPITE everything, the generations after them are not like that. We're not talking about Hollywood romance-type lives, but someone once told me that in her child's kindergarten class, only one child had undivorced parents.
Just maybe that's how our lives are these days. And when I see young people getting married, so hastily, like it's some short-lived joke, or like they're doing it in spite of everything, in spite of uncertainty, or simply refusing to think, consider, plan, worry, decide to live for the moment, it makes me think these people are brainless, lol.

And when I say, they refuse to think, you know what follows from these marriages - children, living with parents, looking for work, very often failure to provide financial support, quarrels, scandals, constant troubles, parents help as long as they can, as much as they can, depending on whether they are good people or not, this is a typical circle of dependencies and a typical line of life of so many Bulgarian families. Just because someone once, at a very young age, refused to think.
These people, on the other hand, arouse in me admiration. It's their ability to throw themselves into life just like that. It doesn't matter the circumstances, it doesn't matter the conditions, life is lived. From A to Z, as everyone else lives it, with all its insecurities, problems and small joys. But apparently that's how it should be done. Life is simply to be lived, perhaps simply not to be thought of.

	Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|
