The End of Life

"Till Death Do Us Apart" is one of the lines sworn in marriage vows. Love is great but Death is even more powerful that tears apart everything. By the way, is the sentence correct? Grammatically i thought it should be "Till Death DOES Us Apart". Damn, going to talk about Death and why should i mind the language so much?!

Friend says:

Maxk says:

Friend says:

dignosed last year, was feeling better

then in 1 month, just getting worse and then he is gone

Maxk says:

sorry to hear that. he got a family of his own?

Friend says:

yeah. with a one year old baby

sometimes, make me wonder everything is fate

so, why be miserable

and always think that we have time to enjoy later

Maxk says:

i always think that sorrows is an art and most of the time it is more meaningful than the happiness but i mean the bearable ones, not at the expense of ending a life.

few month ago i too received an sms that my old classmate's husband passed away from leukemia and he is one year younger than me!

Friend says:

I am definitely not as philosophical as u

*******

No i am not philosophical, I am just trying to provide myself some answers to the puzzles and riddles of life that are not comprehensible to me. Yes i am philosophical because this is my way to make me believe everything happens with a reason, so that i would not be lost in this world. I believe this is the reason why the philosophy develops and comes into our life. Many wise men, over thousand of years, come out with ideas, plausible explanations, even guidelines to follow so that one could pass the his lifetime a relatively easier and less fearful way. Along with the progress of human civilization, philosophy becomes more complex but always find its way to reach to the needed.

However, there is a place that beyond men's wisdom, there is a matter beyond philosophical explanation, it is DEATH. Philosophy expresses the living art in fresh, it describes and suggest an attitude and it rationales matters that happen in our surrounding. Unfortunately philosophy does not tell why man dies. Maybe science does but it does not tell when or where the spirit leaves. Death marks a complete end of a man, all deeds, traces, stories and works totally vanish from the earth. Completely gone. How scary and sad even just thinking of it. I am a believer in art of life but when it comes to death issue, believing in philosophy and art just does not seem adequate. Maybe scriptures could tell more about it and probably spiritual faith at this time a better way to comfort a sorrow soul that is overshadowed by death. Spiritual sorrow takes spiritual way to heal.

Pretty heavy topic to talk about huh? But it does happen and it happens many times a day. Before the time, let's make sure we live the life we want,no regret, we all got only one time chance.
