A Leap into the Unknown

What is death? Death is a leap from the known world into an unknown world.

How shocking this event is! Yet, how absurd is our heedlessness that we almost every day see or hear about people dying but we don’t get alarmed at all! A person’s death is an announcement to everyone else that they too will meet with the same fate some day or the other, when they too will have to give themselves up, completely helpless, to the angel of death.

Death is a dividing line between two stages of human life. Death takes a person from the present world into the next world. Death is a journey from power to powerlessness.

Death’s assault is completely one-sided. In this combat, we have no option but to helplessly accept death’s decision.
