Accepting the Inevitable
By Bea AustriaOf the many things thatmake us scream, run, and tremble, there’s one thing people fear the most – Death.
Death, in its simplest definition, is the end of life. It is the point where you should waive everything you’ve lived for, your family, your friends, and everyone who has made you worthy of your existence; the point where you relinquish all the principles you held on to for so long and every other thing you believe in; the point where you are left with one option and that is to lament over the rueful things that, now you realized, you should not have done in the first place; the point where you finally found a reason to open your eyes to the fact that all the efforts you made to keep yourself alive, in this moment, turn out to be meaningless; the point where you depart from the world you know. The end.
People tend to make every means they could to live, avoiding anything that could cause even the slightest possibility of danger. It’s not bad to act like this, but further actions at par with this will only cause one to experience more pain and have a hard time accepting death than those who go with the flow and believe that when death comes, it comes.
It cannot be denied that people, being just people, irrationally fear something that naturallyoccurs to every human being, but let’s face it, accepting death is not easy at all. It will take some time for all of us to accept the heart- breaking fact that eventually, we will all have to face and feel the poignantly subtle touch of death. We still cringe to the distressing thought of our loved ones dying, deeming who’ll be gone earlier and when.
Adversely, sometimes, we also need to look into the sunny side of things. When you die, at least, you won’t have to worry about the things you used to worry about anymore. Instead, you will have to start a new life in heaven, that is if you were good when you lived, as others believe. Well, no one really knows what life after death is. That’s another thing, you get to know what becomes of you when you die. Doesn’t that excite your senses? Besides, Norman Cousins said, “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.”
But this is one poignant truth- Death is inevitable. Learn acceptance, you know you’ll be needing it someday.
