I remember being asked one time at school to write an essay about death. I don't remember much of it, but I'm sure my ideas are still the same and I feel like sharing them with the other 6.5 billion people. Why? Because it's something out there, it's real and we all have to face it. I'm gonna disappoint you right from the beginning. There's no way of escaping death. WE ALL DIE! The first breath of air we take is the first bit of poison that leads us to the end of our lives. You could try not breathing, but you'd just end up dying even faster... LOL. Planet earth and this universe (as far as we know) is a place to die... ladies and gentlemen,we're destined to die, it's our common destiny as human beings.

Death is something natural, no matter the way a person dies. Death can of course be induced, in which case we call it a suicide, but it's still death, it still means the same: heart and brain stops, the soul leaves the body and the corpse becomes a pile of junk with no value. I was always fascinated by the mythical side of death, referring here to the old, tall man with the scythe coming for each of us, grabbing us with his cold bony fingers and taking us "to a better place". Then, there's also another point of view which says that an angel comes for every person and that those angels actually "live" amongst us, being prepared to do their duty. Well, it is possible, I don't want to ruin other peoples' beliefs. The reality is the same anyway. Life can be a long period, but death is always a moment, never longer and it's the gateway between here and there. Death shouldn't be something we are afraid of, and I honestly tell you, that my belief is that people are actually afraid of the afterlife, rather than death. Now, about dead people... I find that many of us, are afraid of them, are even scared to go in the room where the person died. It's nonsense, a dead person is exactly like Madame Tussaud's wax-art. You can chop its head off and play soccer with it, for all it cares. Death is just death and a corpse is just a corpse, get used to the idea.

Some of us might die tomorrow in a plane crash or a train collision, or even of old age. It makes no difference at all... Wether we're good or bad in life, we still die... What we should really be concerned about is what we do in life, how we use up our precious time... Life is short, people, start living, while you can.
