Fear Of Death

Lot of people dies every day. This is the biggest reality on earth. But still it is most unspoken word. Nobody even wants to think about it. When we hear about it, a strange fear starts coming in to our mind. Why this fear, none can answer this question. We are from childhood developed to treat it as a bad thing. It is supposed to take our dare ones away from us. Have we ever given a thought to it? Or ever we tried to go into its reality. The answer is no, because this is the most fearful question to us. Mostly the people who tried to solve this question are not looked as good person. Secondly nobody so far is able to provide accurate answer. Most of the answers are questions in themselves.

Even our religions are not clear about it. Every religion has its on theories and explanations. Most of them say that after death, we go into other world. They try to describe this world in their ways. They divide it into two categories for good and bad people. If we do good deeds, we go into good world. But if we do bad deeds then we go into bad world. In all these cases the religious God is given the supreme power. He is supposed to decide about us.

That’s way many people pray to these Gods. Their main aim is to save themselves from difficulties and finally from death. But nobody has seen any God so far. Lots of claims were made, but no authentication. Even these are the most controversial issues today. Person is looked down, if he doesn’t respect the religion. We were advised to fear the God and follow the religion. Religious hearted are also result of these different philosophies of death and God. Every religion says their philosophy and God is real.

Every religion says in nutshell to fear and more fear. Many claims were made for life after death by many. Are they real or exploiting our fears. The fear was put into our mind by our parents, our society and our religion. This is clear from horror movies were the dead mans are villains. Thus death is associated deeply with bad things and finally with fear.

Even modern science has proved that fear is bad. It wastes our energy and time. We can look into this fear constructively, by making our views about death more clear. Fear is also a good motivator, as it allow us to achieve many things in life which we otherwise not able to achieve. Death is natural phenomenon. It will come to everybody. None can escape from it. Nature has made us to give birth, multiply and die. Our body is structured in this way. I am not saying you to not follow your religion, asking to follow things wisely. We should try to make the fear of Death, a motivator for us to achieve more heights in life.
