Being filled up with such emotion recently, after the sad news of Steve Jobs‘ passing away, I knew that this would affect me.
There are people in this world whom you hero worship. Perhaps you may not think that you do, but certainly in my case I do. This is what inspires you in life and hopefully makes you a better person. Better focus, a purpose and a meaning for living.
But when you come across events as that of Steve Jobs no longer with us, it really does affect the way we are and what we do. Does the inspiration fade or simply move onto something else? I do not think I know but I do have my own opinion. Such inspirational people move on to a greater platform, almost of an Avatar status as it were.
When my Father passed away in 2006, I was left with a deep void. Over time I have restructured the way I live and now I am comfortable, so much so that I have happy thoughts of my Father whenever I think of him.
So with Steve Jobs I feel the same way. He may not be with us but he hasn’t actually left us. An oxymoron? Not really. Just the way the world works I guess.
