Accepting Death

We all have said or heard the phrase 'he/she did not deserve to die'.  Like the recent masacre in Norway or any other incident similar to it have always raised a question - What was their fault? The people who were killed, all they ever did was to be at the wrong place on the wrong time. So why are they punished and taken away from their loved ones?

Even so the Wise Ones have always said - Death is not a punishment, it's inevitable and not a counterpart of life, but it is life in itself. 

People die of sickness, though not all the sickness lead to death, not all the accidents lead to death either.

It's funny how people always imagine death as darkness and the angels of death always in black robes, when the people who actually have had a near death experience always explain it as 'going into the light'

So it's useless to pity the dead. People don't die of 'faults', they do because it's just the way it is. I'm not saying don't be sad when someones dies, all these are just human emotions but its important to accept death the way it really is i.e not the opposite of life but just life.

If human beings are just lump of meat, then death may be the end, but they are not. Human beings are their ideas, we all are in fact a wonderful idea, an action, a reaction...a lingering thought or a relationship, without which our existence is unknown.
