Dying is a natural course of life. Those who have their time will soon die in
order to give way for others to experience living. And the cycle of life continues.
Even though we know that we will all die eventually, this is
a taboo topic and is often not discussed openly and lengthy. The idea of death is not a welcome
conversation especially when we have a fun gathering and everyone is in high
spirit. And if death is ever mentioned,
most of the time, it is not discussed as a serious topic but a joke in
passing. I guess, the topic of death
brings discomfort to everyone including me.
There had been several instances where I entertained the
thought of dying. Some of these thoughts
were ugly and some of them were just wishful thinking. And at the end of the day, I wish for a
silent death.
I would like to die in my sleep, free of all the pains and
sufferings. I would like to die in a way
that I am just asleep and never wakes up from it, like I am still
dreaming. I would like to die sleeping
like I stepped into some other world, leaving my earthly body behind.
Death is an unchallenged reality that we will all soon
experience. In the face of death, all
men are equal. The only difference is the
art of our dying and the way we prepare for it.
