Death
It is well known certainty in this uncertain
world. Everything else in this world is unreal, as
everything is transitory, including man’s life.
Death gets
all, the king and pauper, the rich and the poor , the old
and the young, the ruler and the ruled, the pious and the
sinner. And after death what? Nobody knows. With death
ends all, at least the worldly existence. At the time of
death, all of them may be standing around one, but none of
them is able to help. They are just silent spectators to
the sad event. And this is what makes death poignant,
impregnable and fear some. One begins to tremble with fear
when one is face to face with a dangerous situation, which
may endanger life. Even the thought of death, if one
goes on thinking about it, is depressing and may lead to
nervous breakdown. There are people who are not at all
afraid of death. Having accepted the fact of death as
inevitable, they regard it as a waste of time and energy to
brood over it. They go about their business, unconcerned
about what is sure to happen to everybody. They enjoy life
because they accept whatever
comes their way. They are able
to make the best of the worst. They live every day and
every minute. They are the ones who drink life to the
lees. It is advisable to live life as it comes to us. We
don’t achieve anything by being afraid of death. So, the
moral of the person is not to be a coward, and therefore,
not to die many times before the final death. It should be
realized that death is common to all. Then why worry about
it?
