Appreciating: Tablets VI & VIII

We all do things in life we later live to regret.
In Tablet VII Enkidu comes to that point in his life. After having battled with death and fighting off the guard Huwawa, the Gods have decided to kill Enkidu for what he has done. Why they are so put on ending Enkidu’s life and not Gilgamesh, I do not know. Is it because Gilgamesh is far greater and admired part in society? This leads to a possible answer for why some people in life are happy while others are miserable…Could it be that we the way we are treated and looked upon all depends on how we were created based on the social and class ladder of the world? If someone is born poor, meager, and reduced to nothing but a two-by-two foot wooden ‘house,’ that is supposed to justify the means by which a person pays, let’s say, a criminal act, while an over-privileged, advantaged billionaire gets no incriminations for doing the same exact crime.
This is to say that the world is unjust. Enkidu and Gilgamesh did the exact same thing, together even, and yet Gilgamesh is leaving the scene unscratched…and for what good reason?
Power, richness, handsomeness?
There is also the point in which Enkidu starts facing the reality of his awaiting death and starts blaming others for his pending doom. This reflects how we, humans, behave in modern society. The second things get bad, we have fire streaming out of ours ears in burning ashes of fury, we then seem to calm down, and then have the sufficient enough time to blame someone else. Enkidu curses the prostitute for untying him from nature and leading him to society, because it is only for that why he will die in just moments pass. But then he realizes that if it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have met Gilgamesh and made such a good friend and strong reliant figure in the meantime.
So he regrets the curse he put on the harlot and replaces it with a meaningful blessing.
In this tablet we observe true misery when Gilgamesh is too scared whenever he has a dream...Enkidu feels wretched as he feels his only true friend is not there to support him in times of misery.
In tablet VIII Gilgamesh mourns for his long-lost friend. He expresses his grief in the form of beautiful descriptions of nature, and the harlot, and he himself, the King. Plainly reminiscing over what they had and how much it all mattered to him..
That leaves us knowing the fact that Gilgamesh appreciated Enkidu every single minute of every single time they spent together. And it just goes to show, that even if you always appreciated someone, the minute they die or leave your side, you hope to have appreciated the even more. So imagine never even taking the time to understand the reality and meaning of a special-someone’s presence or existence.
We need to learn to be thankful for what we have, before it’s gone.
