When We’re Gone

ByFaris

One of the top management guys I used to work with, passed away recently. I am not too familiar with him personally but I had some brief encounters during work, and he seemed like a nice guy. Loud and friendly, so he seemed approachable. And in most of the times I dealt with him, he seemed reasonable enough.

The consensus I can gather was people felt the same as they posted their well wishes on social media. One of the comments that struck me as blunt was, “He was one of the good guys.” As if the others were criminals or mafia! That’s what I thought when I first read the statement, but I think I understand what the person wanted to say, although it could have been worded differently. Nevertheless, it shows the departure struck something, that the statement was made.

It just made me wonder, what statements would be made about me when I am gone? I know in Islam it is not the word of humans that matters, but the good and bad deeds that will determine the ending, insyaAllah. But still, humans perception have a slight bearing on what deeds a fellow human has done during his life.

Well I just hope people will remember that I have helped them in one way or the other, and they would give doa for me.

Thank you for reading.

    People compliments AI, but I think without the internet, and the humans who filled it up with all the info, the AI wouldn’t be able to be anywhere useful. If no one actually wrote a whole page of review of a product, AI wouldn’t be able to scrape the internet and give you the summary…
