Questioning Death?

Part 1

Since the beginning of time, people of all ages, of all walks of life, question death. 

Well, the day you were born, you’re already on your path to death.  It’s a fact.  To live is to die.  So, life is death.  They are the same and one. 

Now, whilst we can’t dictate our own birth, and death of course is inevitable…there’s one thing though that we DO have complete control over – it’s the journey between these two points.  We can CHOOSE to start LIVING or CHOOSE to start dying. 

If you choose to “live”, then live it to the fullest – Live Each Day As It Were Your First (…not to live life as it were your last, but like the first day you were born…I don’t quite agree with being motivated by the idea of death, just so you can live life). Look at the world with curious eyes, with passion, without fear…yes, the world’s full of hope and possibilities…if you want it to be.  Even though most of us have grown cynical, fearful, and bitter as we age…the child in us never dies…we just have to look a bit harder...

Part 2

We also spend too much time contemplating what comes after death.  And it’s almost not acceptable for a person to die and just disappear forever from the face of this earth! 

The idea of heaven, rebirths…explains it…provides us with a sense of security…a sense of reassurance that it not’s the end even when we’re physically gone…it brings a sense of comfort to those who have lost their loved ones, knowing that their loved ones are in a better place.

But faiths aside, we’re never going to be really sure, are we? 

So, again, there’s no point…and no time to think of the afterlife.  Life’s too short.  The way I see it…while you’re here, just be the best person you can be and at the end of it all, let it be a celebration of life.
