Grief of Not Being a Human Any More
(To Memory of Tornike Metskhvarishvili)
He congratulated us on Barbaroba from his social page two days ago…
He was planning New Year…
Tomorrow …
Day After Tomorrow…
He was dreaming…
He was trying to live and not only – live …
But …
“If BUT had not existed, everything would have been different” – it has been said…
This “but” has come yesterday … On Saint Nicholas day, for the distinguished student of our university, distinguished boy, distinguished Georgian, distinguished future doctor, distinguished future father, distinguished future husband, friend, son, colleague …
Tornike Metskhvarishvili, third year student of Caucasus International University has stopped his existence …
Marcus Aurelius once said: “It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live” …
25 years are only figures … figures, which capture Tornike Metskhvarishvili’s time on earth … however, he managed to start a life, to charm every person with his freedom and humanity… he managed to serve for other people’s lives … protect them from death… and become a victim to death himself…
Death does not like consolation … does not acknowledge it … Gustave Flaubert once asserted: “A friend who dies, it’s something of you who dies” … therefore, death has no consolation …
The only thing with which we can calm ourselves is that Tornike managed to live… to leave his kind trace on the earth…
Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia – Ilia II states: The worldly life is a precious talent gifted by God. We often forget about its short life, sometimes we worry about the past, sometimes we are waiting for future with a hope and the present passes in this waste grief and dreams” …
Tornike Metskhvarishvili lived with sadness and happiness of being a human…
Yesterday… On Saint Nicholas Day, Tornike Metskhvarishvili moved to the sad road leading to not existing as a human being…
Illuminated road to a bright boy, who taught us to live with the present day… love today, remember today and carry the burden of being or not being a human …
