Yesterday a fast rising Ghanaian broadcast journalist and one of the few contemporary shining stars of Africa-Komla Dumor died at the age of 41—shocking almost everyone who knew of his name, works and passion.
As many of us continue to muddle in sadness and confusion as to what must have really ended the life of such a good man on the road to greatness, extensive prosperity and success, one question we ought to keep close is; is life worth all the struggles and exponential greed?
Over the last 20 hours, I’ve come in contact with several people who have seen the need to re-evaluate their lives, following Komla Dumor’s death.
When I heard of the death, the first thing I said to myself was; I hope he was a happy man who had inner peace and joy, who did not postpone a lot of the things he wanted to do in life.
Many of us are currently living as if we control tomorrow, pushing all the good things we want to experience to the future, while embracing ourselves for today’s struggle. It may sound wise to say, I will work all I can and when I am old, I will do the things I so much want to do—like travel around the world, spend more time with friends and family.
But the biggest pot hole in the above is the fact that, you are not guaranteed tomorrow, all you are certain of is today. Therefore, why must we endure just hardship, struggles and pain today with the hope that we will be sitting in the world of happiness in the future, when we do not really know if the future will meet us?
