Do you Fear DEATH?

Sitting on this table, with a plain white screen, I sit with totally nothing in my Head. A blank face, a blank page and a blank mind all metaphorizing the emptiness that embodies me. I close my eyes into a stiff darkness with only the sound of a tap dripping small droplets of water and a fan spinning with a squeaking sound that gives a rather monotonic impression of my life which seems to sag on me as the seconds pass.

In this darkness and a closed environment I drop into a realm of thoughts a never ending labyrinth of ideas and unexplainable things and undefined theories. I stand clueless of the reason behind my presence here, seeking the deeper meaning of this.

Questions seem to hit me like a ray of Sun, soaking in me and changing the way I feel, changing the way i perceive and changing the way I see. I feel sick, sick from within. My cells seem to tell me something by getting heated up, my body scorches more than the scorching heat. It has been like this for a long time now, with people being unable to cure me, i seek within. I seek Answers. I seek the message beyond.

Why do we fear death? Why is it that we fear loss when we die but not when we live?

We live all our lives trying to put things in order, trying to fix mistakes that we have already done and trying to make friends when we all know that the second we die, all this would be of no relevance. We crawl back into the same place where we once came from, leaving behind all that we gained in the due course. What is left behind also is not our valued and possessed articles but our name.

The name that Symbolises the values we possess, the deeds we did and the paths we chose. Our friends will remember us for who we were and not what we were. Thus, I seem to fail to understand why we spend most part of our lives trying to shape "What we are" rather than "Who we are". This is what we need to inculcate in our lives, to shape our future in terms of our values and not on material terms, take decisions in line with our Charachter, thus leaving a mark in the world for the better. An effect on people's lives which makes their life happier and peaceful.

Why do you need to fear death if you have already done what you ought to. People on the other hand will only have fear when they run behind shaping their life on terms of assets and not on ethics.

Even if you start now you will be rewarded well for your efforts as even when you die, these will be the things that you will be remembered with. So.....

"You decide whether you would want to shape your future by focussing on your present or fear your future by misusing your present."
