Death. How many of us are afraid of it?
It's okay. It's a difficult question to answer. I know for a fact that I am afraid of dying. I am fully aware that dying is something everyone will do eventually.
However, I am more afraid of immortality than I am of dying.
Think about it- if we didn't die, would we improve? I highly doubt it, simply because we would be able to say "I'll do it later, I'll do it later" and then never do it at all because we are not afraid of the end.
We need death, for many reasons. We need it as a motivator, to make sure we build, we improve, because how much time do we have left? We need it to start anew. Death is a form of destruction, which is a form of creation, for it creates room for new things. In this case, life.
Is death sad? Yes. Is it painful? Yes. Do a lot of wish it will never happen? Too many to count. Is it necessary? Yes, but only natural death is. Just like fear, there are different kinds of deaths, and many of the following terms you will be familiar with.
Natural death: death by natural causes.
Suicide: the act of killing oneself.
Genocide: A majority group killing a minority group purposefully, usually in large numbers. The Holocaust and the Rwandan genocides are examples of this.
Homicide: one human killing another; another name for this is murder.
Accidental: extremely rare, but it's happened. It's when someone accidently kills themselves or another person, like through an unknown allergic reaction.
We need natural death, as it is just that, natural. As I said, death is part of the balance of nature, making way for new life and ideas, like when dead plants' nutrients go to those that are living.
The other types of deaths, however, could be done away with. But welcome to the universe, we'll always have them, because we need hate and anger to know of love and joy. Two sides, one coin.
The world's a strange place, but I honestly don't think we'd have it too very different.
The world needs Death so that way it can progress. Destruction is a form of creation, after all.
A/N: I did say another two chapters were possible…I've had this done for awhile now; it just took me a long time to publish it. Been doing other things, you know?
Possibly one more chapter after this.
