Okay, so again I have took the help of Creativity portal for today's post. It's not because there was nothing to write about but it was because I wanted to write about something that's no-nonsense, something other than my random thoughts. So I chose this and what I got was "Am I afraid of death?"
Before I started writing this, I did a bit of research as to the exact day of my death. I know that was something foolish of me, but anyway, I did it. Now, my buddies, don't ever mistake me. I am not afraid of death, truly, really, am not. Yeah, so my answer to the above question is already in front of you. I know there are many among us who are afraid to die but there might be several reasons behind that and I do respect those reasons. For me, death is the beginning of an unknown realm which we are to tread compulsorily. So why be afraid. Were we afraid to be born on earth? No idea. Were we afraid to live on this earth? Definitely, yes. I am still afraid to live on this earth. Fear comes in all forms when I consider "how will I live till my last breath." This might sound ridiculous to you, but really, one doesn't know what lies ahead, so one has to be afraid. But in the case of death, that doesn't happen. Once we die, it won't be this same, it won't be like will I be able to look after myself? Will I have the money to live a beautiful life forever? Will I be healthy till the end of my life? will I be able to find my love? will I be able to have kids? Will I be able to live without meeting a road accident? Will I be able to cook tasty food for my hubby? Will I be?Will I be?? These are all the horrors that lie ahead, but once we die am sure we needn't worry about such things and hope there won't be a life after death.
Actually, Death' is the greatest enigma in life. It has baffled humankind from times out of mind. And yet despite all attempts to solve the mystery, it has remained as mysterious as ever before. I do have confusions in my mind as to what is death. Do we really die, or do we have a soul that lives on apart from the body? For every living being, death is shocking and unexpected. Even for me, that moment when I die will be shocking even if am not afraid of death. Can we pinpoint just what death is? Do we have immortal souls? Are we conscious after we die? Are we destined to go somewhere to experience some form of reward or punishment? What is really going to happen when we die? It's not fear that you can feel in these questions, it's anticipation or curiosity or excitement about the unknown. That's what death means for me. A journey from known to unknown.
I would like to think of death as a journey into a peaceful kingdom where nothing worries you or ails you. So if anybody who is reading this is afraid of death, just read the The Letter from Heaven and be a changed man...
Love you all my bloggie buddies...
