Sunsets are among the most beautiful sights to behold. The mix of colours and the brilliance of the sky as the sun prepare to go below the horizon. It reminds us that they day is over and the night is coming. It is a very beautiful way to end the day. Just as they say, the end of something marks the beginning of another.

In life the sunsets we have might not be as beautiful as the sight of the sun going below the horizon. They however should be a reminder to us that something new is beginning. The new thing is different hence mainly uncomfortable, just as it is walking in the dark. How we choose to behave on the face of them determines how we survive in the next stage.

Life is a channel of interconnected occurrences so that one event leads to another. A mistake of yesterday is a lesson for today. A mistake today is regret for tomorrow and a mistake tomorrow is an unsure future. An unsure future is a sure recipe for eternal loss.

As I watched the sunset on the picture, I thought about the last sunset in life. Will it be as beautiful as the sunset? Will it be leading to eternal bliss or damnation?
