DEAD ALL THROUGH

Dead, Demise, Dying are familiar words to all of us. Nothing new about it, just another word that literally means the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism. Simple isn’t it when a doctor says Sorry He Is No More, implying a person is dead- the human heart has stopped beating. Family members mourn, perform necessary rituals to set free the spirit of the deceased and slowly life moves on for those who are still not DEAD.

From the visage a person is indeed dead when the human heart stops beating once and for all. But in reality is it so? We all experience death in our own ways, all through our lives till actually we are gone from the face of this earth.

The death of a loved one leaves us dead from the soul. Take that widow whose husbands death brought along the demise of her wishes to lead a good life, death of her right to wear colourful garments; take part in ceremonies, in short death of her as a being. Only her heart beats mechanically, inside she feels numbness. Death it is!

The death of relationships has a catastrophic impact on people. Divorce leaves not only the couple emotionally dead but families and most importantly children suffer the worst. One of the most precious relations-  Friendship, a relation that people choose on their own, when that breaks it has a devastating effect. Death of trust, cheerfulness and more!! 

The death of one’s dreams and aspirations kills the individual for a lifetime. The long cherished dreams people have need not be fulfilled always, life spent running after it and at the end outcome zero. The person may move on find new dreams, but part of the persons soul that had held on the dream so dearly is most certainly is Dead!  

 

Death does not happen when the heart stops beating and medically it is verified. Death is a lifelong experience that no one can avoid. When the soul of a person is wounded to an extent that one begins to question one’s own existence that very instance can be called DEATH!!
