Why does death hurt so much? It is an awful feel of a huge unending pit in the stomach because it has a finality to it. It is simply unimaginable to know that never ever hence are you going to see this much loved person, never ever again listen to that voice in various modulations of different emotions, never ever feel that touch again!
Sure every person has an associative concept, stands for a related idea in your mind. Yet each individual reaches us through the five senses as well. Death is a forever break to this perception based reality of the person. It leaves a huge hole, moon crater size, in your heart, in your life. That is the real sting of death, i think.
Yet death does die, too. That is because the much loved person stays with us as long as we live, as memories, as our idea of his/her, as the unending echoes of countless associations about him/her. Death is hence a bitter-sweet concoction whose taste forever lingers in our lives.
The worst sting of death, however, is to see the physical suffering of the dying soul. Every cell and each sinew of that suffering body wrings your tenderest nerve twisted the rawest way. That, i suppose, is the real sting of death coz however close-n-strong your ties be, you cannot do anything else except helplessly watch that unbearable suffering.
Hence you should never harass anyone, never knowingly ill-treat anyone, never ever wilfully play with the innocent cleanliness of anyone as thus dies your own self, your own soul, and that is the real sting of death.
Pratima@ Death leaves an ache nothing can heal, but with us last forever memories that even death cannot steal.
