One of the greatest questions in life that everyone thinks they know but cannot be certain about is "What happens when we die?" All we can do is guess and make random assumptions. Do we go to a place that is full of good, a place full of evil? Are we reborn as something great or lesser depending on how we live? Do we become a spirit and walk a spiritual realm with passed love ones? Or do we just simply cease to exist?
I don't know the answer myself but from what I like to think is that its a place that you want. Hopefully it's your own idea of death. If you want to go to Heaven you can go through the gates. If you want to be reborn as a cunning creature then it is possible.
I like to think of death as the next chapter, not the end of the story.
But why do I fear death? If death is an extension, a heaven, the greatest place on Earth. Why haven't I killed myself long ago...
I guess it is uncertainty, if people knew what happened after death, and it was good, death rates would skyrocket. The thing is the idea that if we do die, and it means the very end of everything...what do we leave behind? What do I leave behind? I keep going because I try to make a difference, I may not be an Albert Einstein or a Leonardo Da Vinci, my name might not go down in history, but if I can ensure that the people around me will make something of themselves then I could die peacefully.
Maybe that isn't for you, but for me it works, it gets me out of bed and it gets me to sleep.
Death is a scary thing, but its a fact of life. It's hard but to know that there are people out there worth fighting for and people that need your help, maybe that will keep you going.
I just don't want death to be an end all, if I die I want to be able to watch over the people I love. There may be no God waiting for me on the other side, but it doesn't matter to me as long as I'm with the people I love.
Death is powerful no doubt, but life is just as equally strong...never undermine yourself, you can make a real difference with the life you have. Don't regret it in your final moments, please.
