Death is the bitter truth of life!

It also deals with the realisms of mortality, something people of any culture and background can relate to as every living creature is certain to die at one point. As it is one of the most inspiring sources of sorrow and fear that actually belongs to the most deep features of the humanity which define the world and the being, meaning of life and time.

From a biological view, death means the complete stoppage of all the bodily and physiological processes in an organic object. Many people consider it the last phase of life and the time when the biological functions that support life come to a halt. This biological perspective only almost captures what death is to us as aware beings, as thinking advertisements.

In the general setting of culture and philosophy, the incidence of death has always been an interesting topic of reflection, worship, and artistry for centuries. This is true since every culture has its idiosyncratic perception and approach to overcome the aspect of death. Some people consider it as transformation to another state of existence like the next world while others consider as the finality. People seek comfort in religion and spirituality which offers other possibilities to justify their existence than simpler science.

Of course, for many, the fact of death means the meaning of life and the main impulse. It is exactly because we realize that life is brief that one can live to the fullest, value people around him, and fight for his dreams. They give us hope and make us consider on life, existence, purpose, and identity. The fact that one has opportunities to do something, to make something or to leave something behind and this all could matter – becomes more precious when viewed through the prism of one’s death.

It is important to note that each individual establishes their own relationship with the feeling that surrounds the process of dying. It is a universal feeling of sorrow or deep sorrow knowledgeable by an individual after losing something or someone that they love. What actually happens and how it happens differs from one person to the other since heartbroken is a complex and personal activity. Ceremonies vary depending on cultural practices, the beliefs of the grievers, and the nature of the arrangement between the grieving and the deceased. Grief changes, thus, there are always ways to accept things and begin enjoying life once more.

Engaging in literature, arts or listening and composing music may be the ways people try to understand death and mortality, and to lodge feelings associated with this notion. Thus, while Hamlet philosophes about life and the world beyond it with such words as ‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ the Mexican Día de los Muertos elevates happy and cheerful occasion to remember the late family members with joy and colors.

However, death has been remained as one of the biggest unknown and the predictability of it is as well. In essence, while it is easy to understand how one dies scientifically, it is nearly unbearable to deal with scientifically derived concepts of death’s purpose or meaning . And so the big questions of life continue to persevere: What will happen to us after we are gone? So how do we handle the fact that we are fleeting beings and have limited time on this earth? They are questions that are not answerable in one way or the other depending with the person in question.

But then the death finds us and it is a message that we are all alike and all mortal. It raises alertness on the value of life and the need for one to live their life with regard to the lives of others. Though it may well be realistic, it is still concurrently liberating and thought-provoking, prompting one to fully consider all that life has to offer and all its possible which may be truly limited.
