Death is the ultimate truth which all
of us pretend to be unaware of all the way till we are on the edge of the
bridge, needless to say we have to cross it. But what lies beyond the bridge
remains a mystery, generations have passed away but we are still clueless about
this phenomenon. Does life really exist after death? However, putting it in
other ways we can make out certain analogies which pretty much fit into the
shoes of a significant transition taking place. Such a colossal transition that
it matches up to the super cycle of life and death!
Philosophical:
An absolute failure does not mean that we were destined to lose, instead we
were meant to win in some other means or in some other way. A massive impediment
in one’s life turns out to be the greatest coach god could offer, provided the
student is taking serious notes. There seems to be a marked change in our
perspective and our thinking, instead of seeing it as a dead end we tend to see
it as a diversion. Resurrection from complete breakdown with a stronger
conviction and a clear conscience is what is required to attain success.
Spiritual:
Theologically all the major religions of the world have a predetermined life
after death scenario. Religious piousness and humanitarian concern leads one to
heaven. A person’s karma, acts like an account book to add and subtract values
leading to myriad of roles after death. Pagan rituals and primitive beliefs might
require sacrificing animals and even killing humans in name of religion to open
up the doors of salvation. Undoubtedly these scripts act as a definitive map to
dwell in affluence of pleasures or lament amidst misery and despair in the afterlife.
Economic:
We have seen nations collapse during times of conflict, famines, revolutions
and coup d'état. A total annihilation in the socio-economic and political
scenario should be a fairly appropriate reason for it to remain in the dark for
another century. However, we have witnessed them spring back and with a greater
vigor and determination. An unstoppable force to be reckoned with, they surpass
competition with their incredible will and vision. Stories of a battered China, Japan after Hiroshima, post-world war Singapore are some amongst the numerous
examples in history.
Emotional:
People though physically departed, their memories never perish in the hearts of
those who remember them. We also have countless examples of legendary heroes,
commanders, mathematicians, astronomers, spiritual leaders, revolutionaries,
soldiers, and despots etc. who still remain alive due to deeds both good and
evil but having a significant impact on the society. They are remembered for
their deeds, so even after death they walk freely in our minds and some in our
hearts, some attracting curses while others are being idolized, glorified and
upheld to highest regards.
Needless to say, life and death are an
eternal truth, a truth nobody can deny nor prove to be a fallacy. Sometimes it
may even seem that the ultimate goal of an entire life is death but it is
required to consider the cycle of life. So as far you are alive and kicking,
enjoy the journey and make the best out of it .In the words of Abraham Lincoln,
“in the end, it’s not the number of years
in your life that count; it’s the life in your years!”
