The Phoenix's Hideout

Music reviews and random going ons of the Silver Phoenix

 

Knock Knock

Ben Reilly. Who is this guy? I do not know him. Nor do I recognize his face. Yet I used to see it every day. I used to be at most 100m away from him every day. Yet I do not know him, didn't even know he existed. But yet to someone he was a son, a brother, a cousin, a girlfriend or a friend. A living person, a soul. He supported Spurs, he loved football and everything about it. He had a life on the internet. He cried, got angry, was embarrased and enjoyed life, just like the rest of us. This person lived and loved until that night, the night were joy and good times were met with sorrow and mourning. The night were all was ripped away from his life on earth.

They try to tell us that death is the end. They try to say there is nothing more. Ask his family, is that what they believe now. That they are never going to see "their" Ben again, he's gone for good. No more.

I don't know where Ben stood in regards his beliefs, but I cannot believe that death is the end. I know, I know there IS something more. There has to be, we can't just live our lives and die and that's it, can we?

For me this life is not the end. For me there is something more. For me I have an eternal life, my soul lives on for ever, in the paradise beyond the sky. There is more, there is eternity and for me that eternity is with Jesus in heaven. What is it for you?


R.I.P. Ben Reilly, may God bring comfort to his close one's hearts
