“Is this..the feeling of someone who is about to die? Everyone will feel this way.”
I reflected on many past events in my life. Has anyone ever said it somewhere? which I had read a long time ago What did he say.. In the critical time between life and death The human brain, which has about 100 billion neurons, runs very fast.
Transmitting and transmitting electric charges between each other with a sensitivity that would not be possible in normal times. Each processing unit performs its own duties independently. They will communicate with each other, which will cause the owner of the body to be in the state of being at the level of the Three Diplomats. Able to know all the stories of his life.
It's like you're watching a movie in which you yourself are the hero or heroine. The image will move continuously. In a fraction of a second, the smallest unit of time. But it is an amazing miracle that we can see the picture in our head so clearly. Like a slow motion picture
Even though many events have passed for decades until the owner of the body has completely forgotten Those memory drawers can also be ransacked and completely extracted. It is comparable to the performance of the fastest hard disk in the world. Better than any computer today that can be compared.
Of course, there are some events that we have done. which is a bad past that we don't want to remember and tried to bury it in a secret room with many doors blocking the bars. But those 100 billion intelligent neurons Still performing duties diligently and honestly Search until you find it. Then turn the key and let the scenes that we had hidden finally come out.
I'm probably close to death myself. to see these pictures Many sins that have been committed From the time when I was a mischievous child Rarely interested in the issue of merit and blame gradually emerging in consciousness Continuously flowing into an epic, long series. It is unbelievable that in the past the evils that were so shocking were so terrible.
“This place really stinks. Look, there's a deep hole. Can't look in It's completely black. I don't know how deep it goes. It must be a rat hole.” A boy about 12-13 years old stood and pointed his finger at a wide-mouthed dirt hole. It is under the base of the cement pillar of the wall that holds the front gate of a townhouse style house somewhere.
There was another boy who was smaller than him standing nearby.
“Let's help carry large rocks to seal the entrance. It won't come out. Otherwise, they will give birth and spread disease. Just the musty smell is this strong.”
The child who first pointed the finger was the one who came up with the idea. It looked like this person was the other child's older brother. The image moved further to show that The two walked together to find the desired size stone. The area is not too far from the townhouse. Finally, there was a large chunk of broken brick that was probably part of the wall.
of a broken brick wall From an abandoned townhouse in the same alley. The two brothers each carried triangular shaped bricks. Some squares Put it in the hole Overlap until it completely covers the wide hole that was initially visible. Finish it off by moving the waist of your stretch pants down, then standing and arching your urine, releasing the urine in an arc down towards the target.
It's like a declaration of victory.....
The images continued to flow quickly, but strangely.. I couldn't see it with my own eyes. Instead, it goes directly to all the nerve centers of the body. This is the brain which is like the CPU of a computer. A set of the past that stirs up memories that have been forgotten. The night came back and a flash appeared.
I was sitting on a low, worn out plastic chair. The front of the brazier is round and large in shape. with many glowing red coals In his right hand he held a large aluminum ladle that was used to scoop up the ashes. But they changed it and used it in the wrong way by taking pleasure in it. That is, take water and pour it into the ladle hole.
Then he reached in and put it on hot coals. Before dropping in 3-4 cockles. I hope the water doesn't overflow. And then waited patiently When there is little water gradually warming up After a while, air bubbles appeared from the mouth of the clam that was initially closed tightly. until the water begins to expand See the energy field that drives the slow flow.
Until it was so fast and strong that a pressure explosion of small larvae appeared. When the water boils All the clams opened their mouths. It seems that I enjoyed my free time by boiling clams in strange ways until my mother scolded me in the end.
“Aon, why are you boiling clams like that? Boil it and don't eat it. It's a sin to just throw it away, you know? If you want to eat it, just boil it for a moment. It wouldn't have to suffer for long. Put it in the ladle and put it on the coals like that. Until the water gets hot, the snails slowly die. Torturing animals is bad, you know?”
My mother complained about it enough to make my ears numb. The fun mood was gone. I also began to feel afraid of sin. When the prankster played with the clam soup, he didn't think anything of it. When I heard what my mother said So he began to realize the wrongdoing he had done. And the picture continued to flow again...
same boy Having fun chasing and catching small baby toads. It's very tiny. You could say that it probably just changed from a tadpole to a toad in just one day. The color was completely black. The size is slightly smaller than a gooseberry. I stumbled across it when I saw something skittering around in the low grass in the front yard of a townhouse.
which no one has come to buy yet So he opened the gate and entered. Then he saw that the grass was waterlogged and wet. And there are baby toads that happily come out of the water to find food on land. With no knowledge of the matter of karma So he could only think of things to do to kill time in pursuit of happiness and fun, so he ran home to get a cylindrical plastic water bottle.
Comes as a container for holding many baby toads. Then he set his sights on catching the poor creature. I don't know how many. But there must be a lot of them, dozens of them.
Until evening, the sky appeared orange. The evening light looked strangely beautiful. Giving an atmosphere of wonder and loneliness. When I heard my mother's voice From a house four houses away
“Aon, it's very cold. Can I go home yet?” That was the initial warning sign. of a rather dangerous situation If you still do it, ignore it. A louder and stronger tone will follow. But if when Mother walked out to look outside the house. Must have a long magic wand attached. That was the end of it for me.
Therefore, he immediately ran home. Before opening the inner door to enter the house I took a plastic container with dozens of baby toads locked inside. Hidden in one corner of the raised area above the cement yard that was used to park his father's sedan. Then go wash your hands. and eat dinner Completely forgetting that there were dozens of other lives imprisoned.
When I remembered again, 2-3 days had passed!
When he twisted the lid of the thermos open, he looked down and looked inside. found that all the baby toads There is no more breath left. It turned into something like black, sticky rubber. A messy cluster Very miserable. I just suddenly realized that He had unintentionally done something worse.
that cannot be erased or changed back I became so depressed and sad that I didn't have the heart to go out and have fun. As usual, which is the same routine as on other days.
They would suffer to the utmost before dying. because of lack of air locked in a closed container Probably hot and uncomfortable, having difficulty breathing, probably hungry because there was nothing to eat. Probably tired from trying to jump and find a way out. But they had to trample each other at the bottom of the thermos, which was like hell. Can't escape anywhere I shouldn't have taken him and locked him up.
Warm tears flowed from the corners of both eyes and refused to stop. While I'm floating in the air “Is this..the feeling of someone who is about to die? Everyone will feel this way.”
I suddenly remembered the events before when I was floating. It's like a kite missing at this time. While walking out of his own house Which is in a village that has a beautiful, quality standard. As he was busy thinking about something fun. So he was unconscious and didn't notice. Look left and right in the street. Make sure it's safe before continuing.
Suddenly, a car appeared so close in front of us that we couldn't avoid it. I was so startled that my heart felt like it was pounding against the soles of my feet. There isn't even time to think, there's no escape, there's no time left, all you can do is close your eyes and accept your fate.
Sins that have been committed It's time to come and respond to get back today..
“Crom!”
I didn't feel the pain I had feared. Or will it start with numbness first? Then all the pain slowly became apparent. And the torture increased more and more until it was unbearable. before dying
“Uncles”
Hm..what's that sound? Why can people near death still hear their voices so clearly? It was as if someone was calling nearby. Am I in hell now? I meditated like a half-conscious person.
“Uncle, when will you walk away? It's been standing in my car's way for a long time. Uncle, is something wrong? Standing there blankly.”
The voice of a little boy, about seven years old. Sitting on a beautiful plastic tricycle. which was parked close to my legs. Calling all consciousness back. Made me feel so embarrassed that I couldn't do anything. Hurry and apologize to the youngster. He stepped back and carefully avoided the way.
finish.
