The dead are not...

Dead people do not become angels

angels are created spirits 

not made from the left overs of mankind

angels are messengers for good or for evil

Dead people do not become stars in the sky

stars are incandescent bodies like our sun

they were created before man and as guides for man

Romanticising death is a big mistake

death is a serious matter

something people shall all be confronted by

and as such it should be considered

pondered and correctly defined

people do not explain death

because they don’t understand death.

You owe it to yourself and your children

to treat death as an actual fact

not some superstitious romantic fiction.

 

It is said that through fear of death 

mankind were all their lifetime subject to bondage

it is also said that truth sets men free

in this case freedom from the fear of death

is highly recommended.

It is understandable for anyone to fear death. Death awaits us all, and there is nothing we can do about it. The young don't think about death; they think they are invincible. I remember thinking that way. As you get older you become more philosophical. I no longer fear death. I would like to live a little longer though! An interesting write.

I find it interesting that you say that you no longer fear death. How close have you come to death? Have you ever been in a situation where you were waiting to take your last breath?
