Death is inevitable. Everyone dies. Granny’s landscape painting lasts longer for generation, in fact. Even the finest of the finest pass away because some good things never last just as some great things happening have to end.
How we wish to hold on to the things that are great and to things that give us happiness but there is letting go and moving on and those that which give us the reason to live will give up on us in due time. But as people go, there are new ones who come to touch our lives. They are not meant to stay, perhaps. But surely they will leave a footprint in your doorsteps to be always remembered. People come to us. Some will annoy and hurt us and without too much ado, we want them out in our lives but there are some who will show how much they care and how much genuine they are to us. And these are the very same ones you want to keep for good as possible until it is time for them to bid us goodbye. Given that people come and go and some good things never last, we come up to a point of realizing that the bottomline of these all is we will all be left to ourselves which should be kept whole, no matter what. The hero remains in us to keep us from being totally broken when things that are good or people who are dear left us. And if we are lucky enough the heavens will send us someone to replace the old ones. He is to mend what is broken effortlessly. His presence and his genuine care will say it all. And once he again says goodbye, just be reminded that some good things never last and again people come and go but as long as we live, the earth will continue to revolve for us and life would not give up on us. Learning to keep oneself intact and striving for better life is a sign of acceptance that people come and go and mishaps or not so pleasing situations are inevitable.

Death is a reality but to live progressively and happily is a choice. It is like aiming for an original oil painting and situations dragged you down to embrace the trash. You may keep the trash and find the gems in it but then the drive to aim for what you think you deserve should not be in any way part of the trash.
