Eulogy

Well it seems that Malik  has left the world of the living. OK let's get this over with. Malik spent his life living trying to spread his seemingly endless joy with others with his sense of humor and enjoying pleasures both simple and complex, whether it be enjoying nature or drawing.   He often listened to others and lightened the mood. Life has never been easy for Malik but he still sought to make other people happy before himself because he considered this more important. He grew up feeling unwanted and alienated by his own immediate family. Ironic, isn't it? The people who are supposed to love and accept him made him feel like a freak with their relentless criticism and dissatisfaction with almost anything he ever accomplished. He quickly learned  how cruel the world could be at an early age with own family and sought to relieve sadness in others  with his humor and charity and relieve his own pain with his art. 

Sadly he died, without knowing the same joy he has instilled in others.   He died thinking that no one ever understood him or even cared if he lived or died.... just another joke to laugh at.  I can't say that I blame him.  How many of us here can say they truly knew him? Do not grieve for him for he would not want it. Malik didn't try to think about these things too hard, for they would add a darkness to his soul that he both feared and suppressed. Instead of where of most people saw gloom, Malik would try to see light, whether it be in others in himself. There was almost nothing he couldn't find good with.
