Losing
Someone
A young person
ponders the meaning of life and death,
and accomplishes
a personal understanding.
My questions regarding death started
when I was three and now, at eighteen, and having lost
loved-ones to the hands of death, I realize that death was for a
good reason.
Out of love, our souls were created,
and that same love calls us to rest when our time is up, but
that rest is only for our bodies, not for our spirit, as the
spirit never dies, but lives on, in a better place.
We are all conceived with a purpose,
and once that purpose has been fulfilled, we rest. Death is not
the end, for we are all spiritual beings, not merely a body and,
as spiritual beings, we do not die, only the body does, for the
body is just the package that we come in.
When we love, it is the spirit
within us that loves. Similarly, when we feel upset, it is the
spirit within us that is upset.
Death is not the time to mourn, for
only the body of the person is gone, but not the person himself.
The body needs to rest after time spent toiling to fulfil life’s
purpose. The ones we love have not left us, for our spirits will
be reunited, after we have fulfilled our purpose.
This does not mean that we can
invite death to come to us by suicide. Death will come only once
we have fulfilled our purpose. With this knowledge we, the
living, have to go on with our lives, to fulfill our purpose.
