Life and death are the two phenomenons we respect the most in life because of how powerful it is, when a child is born it is signaled as the birth of life and when the heart of a person stops, death is said to have occurred.
In reality everything one does in between this period is in relation to death because we all know our time here is limited. One weird thing is that every year we celebrate our birthdays in one way or the other but the truth is we are gradually reaching death.
Although we are alive and kicking, our perception of death and what happens next is really what shapes the way we live. People who act reckless and careless tend to feel life is nothing more than just air in our lungs and after we die we return to the earth as nutrients For another cycle to begin.
While those who live carefully and peacefully tend to think their actions would have consequences after death, most people who live in constant conflict with others feel after this life they don't get to see or even remember the people they spent time with here.
So in reality, death is what gives life meaning, it has been said many times and is the truth. The way we view death Is the way we live our lives, some would say life and death are two sides of the same coin. So if we are really living just to die does that mean we are all living in vanity?
Well yes and no, yes because we spend so much time to get a lot of things, money, houses, cars etc. But in the end we just die and leave all these things here on earth, either someone else takes them or are relative inherits them.
No, because life isn't about looking at the hard times and good times and comparing them, if you do that for a larger number of the population you will realize that the harder times out weigh the good ones. Although the truth is that life isn't fair and isn't about the bad times but the good times and there wouldn't be good times without a whole lot of bad times, this bad times are what lead to the good times, the experiences and lessons we learn from these bad times are what make us stronger and smarter.
Through these new strengths we develop, we use them to fight the hard times and get into the good ones so in reality life is about just the good times and how you got there. The little moments and specks of happiness we create from or ordeals here on earth.
So, you see, life and death aren't really that different, they may look like opposites which they are in our language but they are closely related than they we see them.
And as to what happens after we die we just have to wait patiently for our time to go and find out for ourselves but we should not let our believes about death cause us to live life carelessly or recklessly because we only have one chance to live and it is indeed a short one.
