The inevitable and bitter truth man has to come terms with is death. Death is the termination of the human contract on earth and signifies the loss of human status. Is death really painful?
Lose your parents through a fatal accident and the stench of death would envelope you, lose a spouse or lover or a close friend and you would become madly angry with GOD for failing to totally eradicate this irrevocable experience. The occurrence of these painful events cognitively creates a pictorial representation of one aspect of death; how ugly, brutal, diabolic, merciless, inconsiderate and treacherous it is. Another painful aspect of death is when one dies with his/her plans unrealised.
But death puts a vital message across that one should not procrastinate and delay in effecting the changes and righting the wrongs that s/he desires. It constantly reminds us to lead upright and just lives, show love and affection to those who matter in our life, ask for forgiveness from those we’ve offended, and leave a legacy behind. If you love somebody, let the person know. If you admire a beautiful piece of work somebody had done, commend the person. This is important because it is useless to eulogise an expired being, I mean a dead person.
