The Secrets to Immortality

The fear of death leads many people from creating several imaginary alliances in their heads just to convince themselves that maybe there is an extension of their life. Through this kind of fear, many of these people suddenly lead themselves into oblivion. Since the ancient times there are many people and personalities who made this daring attempt to achieve immortality such as the Pharaohs of Egypt who built gigantic pyramids and sacrificed thousands of lives through the use of slaves to build day and night not knowing they are also humans and later on instructed their priests to mummify their bodies after they die in order for them to live forever. In ancient China, the warlords like Ch'in Shih-huang-ti and others before him buried their favorite servants alive together with their dead body and sculpted a thousand terracotta army just to accompany and protect them from the souls of their enemies from the other life waiting. In the far ends of the deserts, some believed that there is an “elixir of life” that will transform a weak body into never dying soul which is resistant to aging and other natural diseases. That is why when Europe heard of this madness, people are rushing to the unknown lands learning the secrets of what they so-called alchemists who can perform magic and later on be like them. They even sold the last of their bread just to acquire the Philosophers Stone and many more in which now-a-days we call it madness, wicked, ignorant and irrational act of humans just to live forever. Not to mention the promise of religion since the ancient time up to the modern times in which for thousands of years, we completely believe on this but in a more elicit manner. It means no offense to the blind believers and true believers, but it only cites the result of our fears of death due to the fact that we have uncertainties whether there is life after death or everything we know is just a noble lie.
