What is Death?
In Life, Death is the end. Death is a part of our path that we have no choice in it as much as it is with Life. Death is a bitter reality as it is with Life. Death is a peace for those who have passed the path as it is a joy passing through the path of Life. Death is a mystery as we have our curiosity for our future in Life. Death is an eventuality in Life much as it is with Life itself.
There are those who's afraid of Death as much as there are those who's afraid of Life. Then there are those who are ready, embrace the Death with open arms as how they did with their Life.
When we begin our journey through Death, that's when our story of Life ends. For those who are alive, it is a permanent goodbye. And nobody enjoys goodbyes. But it is a goodbye only because we lost connection to each other with words and touches as those were the only ways we knew how.
However, their legacy, their memory, and their existence has never been ceased.
There are those of us who remember the deceased. They touches us through our very essence. Their words they left behind speaks to us in our mind, sometime even more so in Death than how they did in their Life. Some of us continues to tell stories about them, so as their stories that goes on.
Their physical body sent back into the form of how they have begun. Back into the nature on the soil we grew our food and tree that fill the air we breath in. They are free, and from their singular body. They are in all of us. They are part of us. And they are on everything that we know how to look upon.
In the state of true peace, feel no pain, no emotion, no worries, no desire. Not bounded by time or space, dimension beyond mind and physical. They just simply being. It is as close as we can be to the universe itself.
Don't be sorry that we are mortals. If Life was everlasting infinity it would have been meaningless as Death alone.
Do not waste Death as we shouldn't with Life. Death is a moment of grand value as it is with Life.
Death is Life. One cannot exist without another.
They say a moment before we die our entire Life flashes in our mind, like we think about our Life as we go into a sleep. Will that memory a good memory? Was it a good Life? Have you made peace with your journey?
'Have you enjoyed your story?'
Those question will rise for you eventually. And when that comes, and lived your full Life, then you will know you are ready. Maybe for an everlasting peace finally, or another adventure through veil of unknown.
We set goals through our lives. Some we work hard to achieve, others just happens. If Death is to be happen in our Life eventually, we may as well mark our thorough path into it. And make it a good one while we're at it.
Some deaths, such as a sacrifice to save lives, are better stories than prolonged lives that are hazardous for everyone around them. There are good times to go. Ending has always been one of the most important part of the story. Also one of the most difficult one to make it right. Some who's not obsessed with staying alive, who's overcome the fear of unknown, could see that moment, take that opportunity, and leave the stage with applauds from the crowd.
Right now you are writing your own story. Be confident about writing an ending. And when reading through someone else's story, feel it with the deepest heart that you have for them.
But do not be deprived by either. That is just not a polite way to go through any story.
Nobody alive can say Life is better than Death anyway. That part of the story is for you to decide,
For you to choose.
One story. Choose well.
