Death

                                    
           
Death, death is  the only thing that we have certainty about  the future, however is what we see more alien to us. We make plans for the future, we dream of tomorrow, but we never stop for a moment to think about the possibility that our last day might be the day that we are living. We know that some unexpected day we are going to die  and not only  us, also the people that we love. But we see it so far from our reality. We left everything for tomorrow, we deprive many times to say what we feel to those we love, to let people know about what we care, what we think, we stop doing what we like, and what makes us happy, because for some reason (unconsciously)  we believe that we  are going to be eternal and think that death is never going to surprise us. Wend I made the informal interview about what people think, when they hear about death wasn't surprised for me, the fact that respondents will remain in suspense  without knowing what to answer. As expected, nobody thought about death or at least nobody stops to draw specific conclusions about this. Frightens us the fact that we  ignore what  will going to happened with us after leaving this world, that often overwhelms us, but that we love so much. It frightens us think that we are not eternal and everything we know, someday, will come to an end. Many of the interviewees answered in a very simple way, saying that death is the end of everything. Other somewhat more religious they told me that it will be the end of this life, but the beginning of another better. Many gave the appearance of feel very comfortable with this and have it accepted as a normal, natural and necessary process. But the vast majority agreed to see it as something frightening, for which we will never be ready.


I analyze often enough about death, who's going to remember me?, who's going to miss me?, when it surprised me I'll be "ready"?. I question my self many things about it, but maybe an unconscious fear doesn't let me go deeper and reach concrete conclusions. I see it as something very far away. Despite being aware that death is a natural process and I think that I'm going be able to confront if someone that i love died, or if it come to me on another unexpected way. The reality is that terrifies us, gives us fear bout the unknown that it is, whats going to  happened with us?, with those we love?. We have to think a bit more on it, in the same way that we plan for the future. Sooner or later the death is going to knock on are door. We need to begin to see it as part of our lives, see as a natural process and begin planning for that day. I think that this will help us to focus better on our purpose, to find reasons to live and get best out of our lives, of what we love,  appreciate what we have and not left everything for a tomorrow, a tomorrow that we don't have the certain that  it will come.While younger or more active in life, we think less about death, or we think that when it comes we will be made, with all compliment, but the reality is that we don't know when we will die. For this reason we must take advantage of the life to the fullest, say what we think, express or love to the people that we love, fight for our dreams, observe the beautiful world that surrounds us that many times we see it ordinary and don't appreciate the beauty that this holds. A Sunrise, sunset, the smell of mornings, a smile of our mother, an embrace of our father, a Sunday with our family, in order to appreciate those things that will not be forever and know to take advantage of them for the day that are no longer able,  we remember them. And take advantage of this life which always brings us  disappointment and frustrations but a lot of beautiful moments and blessings . Life that not be forever, but if we take advantage of it will be satisfied at the time the final surprised us.
