The Joy of Death

to dying a thousand times

Ever thought of how things would be if we were actually physically immortal? I mean yeah , a great idea right ? No deaths , no insufferable pain of loosing someone close to our hearts , no grieving for an eternity and feeling hollow from within even though you try to move on with life . Well yeah , seems to be a great idea , isn't it ? What's even there “Good" or “Positive" in something as dark and pessimistic as “Death”. Who doesn't want to be sure and certain of never loosing their loved ones and going on with life.

This is not the first time when this thought has crossed my mind , trust me when I say , this a thought that keeps me awake at night while swallowing the taste of the dark features the night brings in . I have always been a craver of the beauty of the dark , as much as I consider myself to be an optimistic person , I find myself being attracted towards the dark in search of the beauty it beholds . Nevertheless coming back to our topic of what's even good about as dreadful as Death . If I let my conscience guide my thoughts I will find myself in a world of nymphs and fairies waiting for me for when my immortal soul ascend to the kingdom of peace , Heaven . I will find myself reunited with all my loved ones away from the pain , heartbreaks , rivalry , jealousy ,angst that the mortal earth has to provide us as daily dose of some bitter medication. Our imagination of living somewhere beyond this wretched mortal earth is the “Positive” thing about Death . As the sun rise after the night fall and trees grow from the dead remains of the druthers nourishing it underground , so with the death comes the arrival of the new , the birth , the regeneration process. As an ardent follower of Sri Krsn's teachings and preachings , he says that we should celebrate death as death is the antonym of birth and if we begin something with celebration and joy , we must end the cycle with same enthusiasm. It's true that sometimes mortality makes us so vulnerable when all these talks of philosophy just doesn't seem to be fitting or just seems like blabbering and yes the grieving process snatches the very Normality of what life means but then its Life , a hell of a ride with uncertainty hanging around our neck each and every time we do something. 

I needed to write this account as a remainder to all those who are grieving for their loved ones that one day there will be peace of mind and love will overpower all the pains and sufferings when we all be united in the otherworld with our loved ones , till then just try to move on with our cycle of uncertainties that is called Life .

My prayer and love to all the departed souls on the earth .
