There are not many things more significant than death. The hands of death can be seen everywhere, and we just need to lose some optimism to see it more often. At nights, death maybe even more visible with a lovely charm combined with moon light and the presence of some nocturnal creatures not limited to bats and owls. Darkness seems to serve as a supporter of death quite well, and we see this end of life as something that should follow every human being with good skills. It serves as that wonderful reminder that we are all going to finish the journey. It might not be that good a choice for the richest among them all, as they wish to continue towards eternity with all those available riches. We saw that kind of a man in the Alien sequel named Prometheus, and when you get to be too rich, such feelings can be considered quite natural.
Nowadays, there could be so many celebrities who would wish to go on for eternity. Well, politicians, cricketers and film actors can have it easy, as far as living forever is concerned. They have their posters and flexes all around the towns and the money that they earn can help them to go in a Prometheus-like mission just like the big business people can. There is no limit to being rich in a world which has so much disparity, and even the most educated do not get the respect that they deserve – only money matters in the end. It feels that you do not need to think about others or have common social values when there is too much money is involved. Death has been a great leveler between the rich and the poor, and it has been a fine duty, served well. Serving as the grand equalizer, one can never question the usefulness of death at any moment of life’s struggle.
The sea and its rocks will take us all into its eternity.
Life and death have never been the opposites – there has been life in death and vice versa. There are so many signs of these on two different sides of human lives with all the mortality which can be seen around. We can be sure that Hades and his hound would agree without second thoughts. Finding death out of life has been the easier job, and it is also a much-needed finding with humans going on like virus on Earth. Death serves nature more than anything else. It has found time to eliminate a few and bring the balance. The fall of the grand empires is only one of the many results of the same determination to make sure that there is balance. No empire should be able to live forever, at least not in the form of huge dominions. The attempt to bring those empires back to life in the name of racism, fear and hatred is of no use, as some of the decisions are forever.
The world changes, and without embracing the same, there will be no progress for humans in a world which has seen extinction of life so many times. The past has already been taken away by death’s charming workers and little helpers, and there is not much be done against them who have served the ender of life well. For what human beings have become, death requires the appreciation for doing the job better and any other creature from another world beyond human comprehension. But with the further development of science, death has found the job rather more difficult, but there are those forces of science and technology which help death at times, and in the hands of the right evil human, it can do much more.
Why would not someone take an eternal leap of faith into nature?
Death has inspired so many people to jump of a cliff and have a beautiful view of the nature below them as they come down. Those moments of beauty with the charming view might be enough to embrace death for many nature lovers. One can be sure that the Lake Poets and some of the other Romantic poets would not mind – even the lovers of dark fantasy and the gothic might not. There is always scope for poetry in motion with death, and it need not always be an elegy with a pastoral touch. All kinds of poetry can make its way here. One also has to wonder what it would mean for such a lover of greenery to be put in a loop while jumping off a cliff – how many views would make things feel like heaven for such a person? How much of such visions for heart and soul would be enough in a terrible world of never-ending chaos?
Do we have time to stop for death? Well, it does stop for us as Emily Dickinson has said before, and it is an action of care that we see around here. Death could have allowed humans to live forever, but it would not be the right thing to do. The kindness that death has decided to show it to be appreciated in a world in which empathy is rather too less. In the world where death has its home built, things might still be different, and taking the humans to that world would do no favour to him. There are many other creatures that death would prefer to take there, but humans are the least suitable creatures that could be a part of that world. Too many humans in that would also lead to the dead coming back to life. After all, who can suffer the consequences of having these miserable creatures around? Well, no sane death with a scythe would want that.
If there is the chance to invite anyone from outside human world to our homes, it should be death, or Sir Death, as we should be calling the man. A grand feast would still be necessary, and we can trust the person to be with us. We would also have wonder what the vampires and zombies would do when facing death – haven’t they faced death at least once? And what would the cats do with their nine lives? Are they all companions of darkness against all odds? Will death one day decide to appoint all of them as their minions? Death should be ready to answer all the questions, and let us be part of that final dance on one day. I am sure that death is too much of a good person to decide not to be part of a dance and a feast.
