Life is full of surprises and so is death. In one episode of the story if Mahabharata of India it said that the greatest wonder of the world is that day after day and hour after hour, people die and corpses are carried along, yet the onlookers never realize that they are also to die one day, but think they will live forever.
Death comes in many faces, in different time, place, ways, and events. It strikes without warning and with no discrimination. No matter what standing in life you have accumulated, who you are, powerful or slaves, rich or poor in the society you belong. It can be a serious illness, a fatal accident, a disaster, natural or man-made or it comes of an old age. Indeed, death is just around watching and waiting our right moment to die. No man has the capacity to keep himself from dying.
Nevertheless, ironic it is, but almost everybody pray and wanted for a better and longer life. People are accumulating wealth, power and everything to enjoy yet when death comes, he cannot take with himself anything he worked for lifetime.
The church believes that there is life after death. It is the precious moment for at last one can go home back to his Fathers arm- God that one can enjoy an everlasting life away from hardships and difficulties that the material world has offered.
For some it’s in the form of reincarnation to a certain animals while for some dead it’s the end of everything.
No matter what one believe about death, one thing is sure, everybody will die and nobody will live forever. What is very important is that man has understood what is life and death. He had able to live his life with meaning and purpose. By doing so, one would not fear death but will welcome him as his happiest moment and his highest achievement.
