Death

 Although we all, being human, know the ultimate truth of our life and that is DEATH obviously, we do not accept or do not want it to be accepted as it should be ?!!! The end is pre decided when we begin but when it comes to life, we cannot think of it clearly somehow. 


There are reasons of death in the world i.e. Natural death, disease, Epidemic viruses, Accidents, etc.  At the same time, we already have lots of names for the same -DEATH- viz. Execution (the carrying out of a sentence of death on a condemned person.), assassination (the murder of a prominent or important person), murder (kill someone unlawfully and with premeditation.), Suicide (suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death) and so on and so forth.  


The Concept of death is discussed and accepted in different ways in different religions. Along with that Beliefs related to it are also multiple. These concepts include Emancipation, ghost, heaven or hell, life after death, death as the end of life or beginning of a new life? Mortality and immortality etc. 


After all there are two kinds of people: one who accepts death as a reality, the other who escapes or has fear of death.  

What type of human being are you?
