Lately, the most feared phenomenon is death. This is not because it wasn't feared before now but with pandemic, it makes the passage a bit faster or unusual if i can use the word.
Daily, we hear of death cases as a result of this pandemic. It doesn't stop other death cases from accidents, diseases, sickness and the rest. It only added to it.
Perhaps, people who are religious will say people die because it is their appointed time. I am not here to dispute that but to theorize on the topic above.
Recently, we hear about dying from all over the world. It is as if it is the reality man is confronted with. What struck me about the whole thing is about how life ends and the dead have no clue.
We hear someone is dead and we continue with our lives, businesses, and continue with our hustling as usual. The dead is gone and knows nothing about the world or what is still happening in it.
For the dead, their time has stopped. They know what they were and what they are before death but know nothing beyond that.
Their dreams, visions and aspirations for life ended the day the life was taken. They face a different journey or a new one for those who believe in hereafter.
They will be there, in their state of death until time stops and everything truly comes to an end.
This also take us back and we remember many who have died before we were born, those who died while we were born and those who have died as we grow older.
These people left this surface and since then, life continues. The world never stand still. The world never really regretted any demise by not moving forward.
Life always continues no matter who dies, where or when. No life ceases to exist because of anyone's exit.
I think it should make us wonder if we really amount to anything at all. It should make us wonder why we brag like we own the world but have no power over deadly diseases and importantly death.
If anyone can be suppressed or defeated by death, then such a person should be humble and understand he/she is nothing.
You appear to be something because there is a life in you, you appear to be something because you can lift up your hands, you can say something is disgusting, something smells, you can't sleep in a particular place, eat certain food or drink certain water.
The life that you breath makes you brag and feel you amount or worth anything. Once that life is taken from you, where you are placed, who touches you, what cloth you wear, shoes wont matter.
Your 'right' and 'decision' making is taken off you. Those who are there to burry you will decide what should be done.
Your last wishes on how you should be hurried will be looked into if there is a body to perform them on. Since no one knows what will kill him or his type of death, then you know you are only fantasying.
In sum, if you can succumb to death or if death truly have power over every physical body, then why not give up this vanity, pride, avarice, excessive zeal to acquire power because you are truly powerless.
Thanks for your time.
