Something to be said...

There's something to be said in the acceptance of death. Sure, it may not be the happiest topic, but does it really have to be that way? To some, death is not the end, far from in fact. There are some cultures that believe that we are brought back in different bodies, and others believe we are allowed to stay on earth as spirits. Personally, though I know very few think this way, I believe that when we die, if we so choose, we are allowed to come back in a different body, to continue what we were doing before, or perhaps, to do osmething new. I also believe that a soul can be condemned to hell, but brought back to an earthly body as punishment. Or perhaps, to learn a lesson in life.

So you see, if you think about it that way, death is certainly not the end. Plus, the world can be such a wretched place now-a-days, and sometimes death can be the best thing for a person. Maybe someday, when I die, or a loved one dies, they will be brought back to an earthly body when times are more peaceful, or at least when the government and everything else isn't so... messed up.

I guess you can say, I am wondering why people don't accept death? It's a natural part of life, it will happen to everyone, and God has a plan, so when our loved ones are taken, you know he has a plan for them. Though ultimately, it is their choice whether they accept his plan or not. So why can't people accept death?

I find that, perhaps, some people have a harder time letting go of others. You get so attached to someone, and you start to imagine that you can never live without them. Which in reality, you can, because even if their physical body no longer lives, their spirit will always be with you. Whether you think me a crackpot for thinking this way, that is your opinion, but one should not persecute another for having an opinion, since they too, have one.

Another reason people don't accept death is because they are afraid of it. There are many reasons people may fear death. For example, they are afraid that they won't accomplish everything they set out to do, or maybe they fear that it will hurt or that they will go to hell. Which, I'm almost positive, that if you think you're going to hell, you must have done something that would merit that. Then again, there are those cases where that is not the case. Some are paranoied that way. You know, maybe some are afraid of death because they feel it should not befall them, which is a stupid notion since the human body cannot last forever. If humans were meant to live forever, Adam and Eve would still be here, and people would probably be at eachothers throats. Even if you traveled the world, could you imagine meeting the same people over and over, and over, and over again?

So the fact remains, there really is something to be said about accepting death. It may be hard sometimes, but keep telling yourself, they are in a better place, and they aren't really gone. A loved one who's dead is stil with you, always believe in that and it will be so much easier to let go. I'm not saying you can't mourn, hell no, cry all the tears you need to, but don't mourn over it forever. It wastes time, energy, and most of all, your loved one will probably be mad that you are still mourning over them. If my beliefs are held true, and a soul is able to either move on to the after-life or return to earth, then you will understand that they don't want you to unravel because they're gone. If your loved ones truly love you, they will have wanted you to move on and succeed in life.

Far be it for me to preach to anyone, this is purely just for someone to ponder over if they are bored. Plus, how does one expect to be heard if one does not speak? Anyways, I'm sure no one wants to hear my philosophical outlooks, but it is there for anyone who wants to ponder or debate it. I can give you nothing concrete on the way I view death, but it is my belief, and I will defend it to the end.
