When I Die
Friday, May 18, 2012
Death is inevitable. It just hits us in the face and we’re gone forever.
We live to die. It’s one of life’s realities we all try to deny, it’s
one we all try to escape from.
Death surprises us. It has many forms of coming to us; like a box of
chocolates where we don’t know what we’ll get; same goes to whatever cause we
die from. It most often times doesn’t come out with a warning or a notice so we
try to put armors on, we try to shield ourselves of this common fear.
We try to cover up and take refuge from our religion, health, family,
etc. all the things we’ve worked for, all the people we’ve met, all the
relationships we’ve nurtured, all the good and bad things we got; can’t be
burned with us on the grave.
I envy those who are warned on their upcoming deaths, like the cancer
patients. Death at least is decent
enough to tell them when the struggle is going to end. But it also takes them
away from living a happily on their remaining days, just thinking about the
loved ones to leave behind is just plain torture.
I try to decipher a suicidal’s thoughts before he kills himself. Was he
angry? Was he disappointed? Was he a coward? Maybe all of the above. He was too
afraid of death’s coming, he decided to die first. He hates surprises, that
could be a reason too.
How about the criminal mind? For a little amount of money, a temporary
high or madness, he decdes to become Death all powerful and take away lives.
What’s to fear with Death? Is it really that mean? Maybe it comes to
save us from loneliness, depression, and frustrations. Or are we just
dissatisfied with how we lived our lives, we’re afraid we’ll soon be forgotten
just like that? To live wonderfully, I try to remember this all the time: DO
WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY. People would forget who we were but they’d never
forget how we made them feel.
Death must come to unveil new life.
Heroes must die to make way for other heroes.
Legends must die to inspire new breed.
Death is an ending of a beautiful life and love stories.
Death comes and a new chapter of life begins.
