A few days ago I slept. I slept like a dead man. I slept because I was exhausted.
Emotions were trying to crowd into my head. So I went off to sleep.
I got up few hours later with my mind absolutely blank.
It felt as if I was floating.
I forgot that it was dinner time and that I was hungry.
I forgot I had work to do. I was floating somewhere between worlds.
Then thoughts started entering my mind. I was returning to Earth. I was falling back to Earth.
I could see my whole life ahead. I had questions. Was anything worth it? We all have to die one day then why struggel.
As I continued falling towards Earth the view became more localised. Now I was asking questions about the weeks ahead. How, what, when?
As I was about to crash into the ground I realised where I was and the things I had lined up ahead. The work that I had to do in the night. Things pending.
Suddenly I was back on Earth. Focus on what was immediately in front.
That is when I realised my body was broken and shattered from the fall. I could see the grass in front of my face, I could see the flowers. The focus was back. But I was unable to do anything with it.
I was a dying man. I could feel it. I was happy. The struggle was over.
Then I saw standing above me a figure full of light. I realised it was me. It was my essence. Slowly I felt the light seep into me. My broken body healed. I could move. I could stand and then I could fight again.
As an actor once said in some movie..
"If no one is going to read me in one hundred years, why should I write at all"
Floating is amazing.
There is only reason why one might want to come back to Earth - to do something that leaves a lasting impression on humanity.

Does everyone has to leave a lasting impression on humanity?
That depends on your definition of humanity.
If for you, humanity is a significant portion of the world's population then the answer is no. Everyone can leave a lasting impression. There can't be a million Tendulkar's or a billion Einsteins.
But if for you, humanity means the people around you, especially those that you interact with daily then yes.
I used humanity in the latter sense.
