Fast-rising Yoruba movie star and Airtel ambassador, Adedimeji Lateef in a new Instagram post has talked about death.
He posted the message hours ago on Instagram:
“My Dear Friend, I have a few words for you and myself.
You’re just one person. Each of us is just one person. Just another guy out of millions. Don’t overestimate yourself. We are not as important as the world makes us feel. We are not as priceless. We are not indispensable. No matter how much we wish it was, the world does not revolve around us. The world will be just fine without us.
And when we die, they might cry for three days, but in some weeks, we fade away. Like we were never there.
Those whom we once were their best friends would have other best friends. They can’t help it. We can’t help it.
So you see, no matter how long we are here, no matter what we do… Someday we’re gone. And nobody notices. They’ll remember us maybe once a year. Or when they stumble across the things, we wrote.
And later, they, too, will be gone.
And if we’re lucky, our work may live longer. Few people will know our name but not like they give a hook. Everyone will be too busy having fun with whomever is around them. And, we never existed.
We are like a grain of sand at the seashore. Without us, life goes on. Like nothing ever happened. “
