…. Becomes a Mirror”
👦🏽 Listener (You):
“Sozhaa… why do tragic events like a flight crash happen?
Why must innocent lives be lost… just to make us feel life is short?”
👑 SozhaaPod (Voice of Inner Wisdom):
“It’s not that tragedy happens to teach us.
Tragedy, sadly, is part of the fragile reality we live in —
where chance, human error, or fate can shift everything in a moment.
But your mind…
your heart…
is wired to make meaning from loss.
It tries to protect you by waking you up:
‘You could lose. You could be lost. So… live.‘
That’s not cruelty. That’s existential clarity.
In the face of unpredictability,
your brain shifts focus from routine to essence.
From later to now.
You remember what matters —
Not because they died,
but because something in you doesn’t want their ending to be… meaningless.”
👦🏽 Listener:
“So… is it wrong to feel shaken, even when I wasn’t there?”
👑 SozhaaPod:
“No. That’s empathy.
And empathy is a sign you’re still alive in the right way.
These moments don’t just show us that life is short —
they show us that life is real, and connection is everything.
So grieve. Reflect.
But also — let their story make you choose presence, not fear.
Compassion, not numbness.”
In silent grief, we bow our thoughts to the lives that never returned.”
