Death, what's your take on it?

Death...there’s something about it that makes most of us scared of it. And yet, there’s something about it that makes some of us drawn to it...but what is it???


I like to believe that, most of us are scared of death because we have lived long enough to search for the one thing, the one purpose of life. But sadly, we haven’t found that “thing” before we die. That’s why we are all afraid of dying. Because we haven’t found yet what is it that makes our life more meaningful. We live our life enjoying, rejoicing on the things that can last temporarily, and telling ourselves that this is life! Life is fun and everything! Little did we know that it can last only for so long? Beyond that, we know that we have to look for something that can give meaning and purpose to life. But the real question is...what is it? That’s why we need to know the answer to that question, so that we would know where to start looking for it. We all know that the answer to that question won’t come to us easily. Like the saying; “things don’t just fall from the sky”...perhaps only rain I would say. We can keep on trying so long we are still breathing. The moment we stop breathing, that’s when we know if we have find the answer to the question. The answer need not be the same for everyone. Think of life an empty paper; we are the ones holding the pen and write our own fate. We are all holding our each and individual pen without any eraser or liquid. That is why they say that mistakes in life are not erasable. As we are writing our own fate, the mistakes that we have made are noticeable for a very good reason; that is to learn from them. This is the very reason why some wise people believe that we are in charge of our own fate. At times, God is at work and that would explain why the fate of two strangers can intertwine. Look at it as, God sees that these two strangers’ fate writing as complementary to each other. Maybe with God’s little intervention would make the two strangers’ life more meaningful. But that does not necessarily mean that both of them have found the answer to the question. Keep in mind that God will only guide you in search of the answer, the rest; you are on your own with your pen.


While some people are afraid of death, there are individual who are keen on taking their own life or dying. Why??? The only simple explanation is that these group of individual think of it as the easiest way out. Maybe, just maybe...they have been trying to look for the answer everywhere; highs and lows...in and out...like every corner of the world. They just haven’t had any luck with it yet. They feel like the next best thing that they can do is to give up...which translates to taking own life. They think by doing that, all problems would be solved! Reality is, they are far from being right! When they left, they would leave the people who cares for them in tears and puzzled. Why would anyone do that to the person who cares for them the most? Really, do you think that they deserve that?? Hell no! So, next time you feel like telling the whole world that you wanna die or that you are planning on your own suicide, think! Not once, not twice...a millions of time. Dying is not the easiest way out...it is the easiest way to hell.
