"I See Life As A Gift From God.
Now That He Wants It Back I See No Right To Complain"
-Joyce Cary
Life I believe is a gift. A gift that isn't suppose to be just given back (suicide) or taken back by force (murder) it's suppose to be...surrendered. People die because of many reasons. From sickness to natural causes. When someone dies, people all say "Well now at least they're in a better place," is it because they are trying to hide the pain they're in or do they genuinely believe that?
When someone's dying I don't believe they're all too worried about the people they're leaving behind here...Especially religious people who believe they're going to Heaven. They'll be HAPPY to surrender their life back to God (or whatever higher power they believe in). I also think it's kind of selfish of the people they were close to, to think that they should still be alive. I'm not saying I haven't done that (I have), but I've come to realize...Being alive here on Earth isn't a walk in the park. If they get to escape this place, then we should be happy, no matter if you're religious or not, this is a good practice.
I don't know if there's an "After Life" but I do know that life itself is complicated, tiring, pain inflicting, saddening, maddening, etc and with all those jumble of emotions, why not embrace death when it calls you? You'll be at PEACE....Helloooo "REST IN PEACE". So who knows if someone is going to a better place? But what right do we have to say they should still be with us?
Those are just my thoughts...Why do you think?
