Death is as beautiful as Life
JOHN MUIR:
Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
I always think people are scared of death.Why? Is it the Law of Nature that the fear of non-existence is unacceptable?What is making us scared of dying?When somebody says i will kill you or we are threatened by others.What really makes us feel bad is the fear of pain,parting from our near and dear ones,the world we love and even if we had faced difficulties and challenges throughout our lives, the word death has got an influence in our thoughts,sleep and whatever we do.How i am going to die,will i suffer pain or will i get murdered or will i go through more trials?The thought itself will kill us.Some of us welcome it by our own actions.Some will meet with it accidentally.Some are victims of massacre. We never bother when we eat the plants, animal flesh and kill others for rivalry or religion or for personal gains.We live happily thinking about tommorrow.But do we ever think each and every moment we spend we are nearing death.Our body,mind all that is around us is always waiting for us to Welcome death with a smile on our face.How many of us can do it?
It simply means where there is life there is death.Mother nature has to keep a balance.We have to accept it.Are you ready?
