It was 2'0 clock in the morning when i heard somebody knocking on my door.I went up to the door though it was an unusual knock.Initially I could find no trace of human creatures.But later my heart was split into two.I sat motionless for a moment.Rain grew in anger ,lightning and thunder were more powerful.But what shocked me was an unusual creature.I could very soon encounter that it was a human being.It was a corpse in the gutter.Only two holes were seen on the face which more or less looked like a nose and an eye.The skin was worn out and the man looked like a raw flesh.I found him breathing for God's sake.He had toes but digits weren't clearly visible.I didn't find it easy to even imagine a man in that condition.He was a living corpse.I felt myself helpless.I could realize the emptyness of life.I could discover that the corpse was my own friend who had spent the early part of his life very lavishly and gave no place for emotional attachments.The real part of his life is now picturised.I could realize that,the way we lead our lives matter rather than how long we lead.The living corpse taught me the reason behind life.From then on I lead a simple life,helping the poor and needy.
