First Shock
(Published in The Wise Magazine Issue #2, July 2011)
Why is death frightening? Could it be because we do not know where we are going? Maybe the reason behind our fear is a series of scenarios religions have taught us—scenarios written to frighten. Are we frightened because we believe that worms will devour us underground? Is the fear of not being able to see the world we think we love so much? Can it be the fear of not seeing our loved ones again? Or, is it fear of the great unknown?
Whatever the reason we know that this fear of death has been the motivation behind many a human act!
Let’s take a different look. How do you feel about losing someone close to you? Is it more dominant than the fear of your own death? Does it enslave you more?
Has anything ever happened to you outside the “teachings”? Has anything happened to you that you never imagined could happen to you? When faced with a tragedy you are living, have you ever asked yourself “What should I do now? How can I handle this?”
I won’t prolong this more…I will say it straight. Has your son died?
Yes, my son died…“Passed away” sounds too fancy for my ears. He chose the other side and died. ............
