Death be not proud of ....

Death- the ultimate truth. We can not escape Death, at least. It does not matter what religion we follow, the existence of Death is always there. Ironically, the soul gets the real power after death.
If, Death is inescapable, then, why are not we prepared to face it and consider it's subtle presence with us, all the time? Why can't we think practically and accept its supremacy, instead of being emotional and scared of it's existence? These are some unanswered questions - whether it be science, philosophy, or religious doctrines - none of them have a fixed, satisfied answer to such questions. Quite a dubious task.
I'm being a common man sharing my views on Death. Even I am scared of it, if not personally but may be because of others. I'm a helpless victim of it. No respite from it unless I experience the 'real' horror of it.

What ideas our Revolutionaries had of Death ? One thing for sure, even they were scared of it's presence, upto some extent. But when you have examples of Sardar Bhagat Singh and other great freedom fighters or for say, Imam Hussain. Had they scared of Death, at first point, they would not have done [something revolutionary] or had taken a single step against their unbeatable enemy(which they were quite aware of). Of course 'they' were not scared of Death. But, I'm not convinced with the argument. They too were 'human beings' and it's quite impossible to be not scared of Death (at least in their sub or unconscious mind). However, it teaches you a lesson: one can't escape the fear of Death. Accept it. Shout and cry in grief. Never welcome it but also do not ignore it(nobody can).

"Death be not proud of, though some have called thee, Mighty and Dreadful, for art thou, not so"

It's sad. Whatever happened, must not have happened. I could not say much, even today, but it was not required though. Might be, it was ! Although it always hurt when a nice person leaves, that too, suddenly, leaving no trace of his/ her existence. As if she/he was not existed. It's so sudden! You're left clueless, sadly, helpless. Well, that's what Life is : unpredictable. And ironically, Death is the only predictable aspect of our life, but when? that is unpredictable, thus, makes it more scary! One can't escape the horror of it and also not laid back and wait for it to happen. Useless. God.

RIP- A Great Human Being. You will always be missed.
