Have you ever thought about death? Why are we afraid to talk about death? Isn’t it one of the most sure things will happen to anyone of us? If you see it on the news nowadays, almost every month, if not week, there’s a disaster involving so many people. From drought into flood, from tsunami into storms named after women -how silly is that? I mean, common! Why didn’t they name it like: bloodlust or hellhound, or anything creepy instead of a woman’s name? Were they kidding themselves? Did they think naming a force of nature to a beautiful woman will make them loved by the storm? And don’t you think naming the storm to creepy ones instead will make them psychologically more ready to face them? I don’t know. I’m not a shrink and Thank God I’m not the one who named the storms.-

And if you think of it again, that’s ‘just’ the forces of nature. The one thing you cannot control no matter how advance your technology is. And there are still some other sources of death like human-error, machine failure, or even terrorist attacks! You can think of other billions silly ways the death will get you. Gosh… just to think of it already gives me shivers.

And why did I even think of writing about this in the first place?? I guess because lately I saw too many news about disasters and mass destruction. And if you want to be fair, actually it’s good to remember that one day we’re all going to die. If you believe in the Afterlife, it makes you want to be better prepared and look at yourself on what were the things you have done in your life. Was it mostly good or bad?

Pardon my English, but there’s an old saying that goes like this: “Work for your world like you’re going to live a thousand years, and work for your afterlife as if you’re going to die tomorrow.”

Then again, that’s of course if you believe in the life after.
