Living For Death

Some people live for their aim, while others for happiness and success. There are yet other people who live for life itself. But since living is universal, the reason behind it should also be universal; same for everyone. But with different kinds of people(even organisms) and their ever different ideologies ; what is that one thing that makes them equal on every level.

 

It nothing but the omnipresent death.

Having myself faced the fear of death for two times, I think there is nothing more frightening than feeling its presence near you. It’s as if a sword is hanging over your neck and even a second of bad luck can cost your life. It makes me think that deep inside every one of us knows that one day we will get to our end, to the death bed. That there is no one who can avoid death.

 

But still we get so insecure at its thought. As if our whole existence is nothing in face of it. What we forget to remember is that all through the years of our lives we live for death, wait for its arrival. But the brain is a tricky little thing. It lays down excuses to live, which are nothing but our aspirations in life. We make ourselves believe that we cannot die without fulfilling our dreams. That whatever be the situation, we have to fight back and live to accomplish our aim of life.

 

But human aspirations have no endings. When we reach the moon, we aim for the farther stars, as if life is present at infinity. But then a day comes when these accomplishments become too small. When there is nothing that can take you back, that can stop you from dying. Then these things become mere excuses to make you believe that you have to live. Then there remains nothing big, no reason to live but to die itself.
