Life & Death

The dictionary defines death as being the end of life or the cause of loss of life. I however interpret it a different way. I see death as being the next level of life. In this blog I will explain my interpretation of both life and death. The death of someone close for a lot of people could be the most painstaking experience one could ever encounter. I always thought that I was callous to death because I didn’t feel as hurt as everyone else did when someone died. By feeling this way about death I thought that there was something seriously wrong with me. That’s was until someone very close to me passed away. then I realized that I had never been this close to someone to pass before. What I thought were callous feelings towards death suddenly turned into a river of tears. In trying to understand how and why something like this would happened to a person like them. I came to understand the true meaning of life. We are all put here for a purpose and that purpose is to see who can maintain faith throughout trial and tribulation so that we can get to the otherside. Which is a much more peaceful and tranquil place. The only way to get to this better side of life is through faith first and then death. It took me along time to realize the true meaning of life but I’m glad that I am blessed enough to have a better understanding. I’ve noticed that people tend to get the perception of life being about material things. Such as money, cars, jewels and things of that nature. I always knew that wasn’t the answer. That never made any scenes how someone can think that a supreme being can make our sole purpose on earth is to “Get Money”. Not to say money is a bad thing but just not an objective in life. While here on earth we should try to live the most righteous lives that we can so that we possibly can. Because if we do live by rules it is certain what side were going on.
