We fear death, because we are coded to “cling to life”.
The moment we understand and embrace different – Death becomes Beautiful.
At some point in our long stretched life (supported by various synthetic chemicals) we know we haven’t got much strength to latch on.
At some point in our clean life, we know there is nothing more to aspire.
So, why do we abhor the idea of a choice for a respectable sent off.
If we believe in free will, we should have this choice.
It is the same free will, which allows some to kill human for greed or land.
It is the same free will, which created laws to give electric chair to the violator.
It is the same free will, with which self proclaimed Men of God from the beginning of time have issued disgraceful decrees.
So why say, “The lord giveth and the lord taketh away.”
Why not say – When you have done your deed; Lived your passion, or tried your best; You have the option to say goodbye on your terms.
Have a grand farewell party.
Celebrate. Have some last laugh. Hug. Shake hands, apologise, show gratitude and wish everyone good luck!
Why not have a send off with – love and smile.
…unless, you have not been a good person in the time you had, and there is no one coming to your farewell party.
In that case too – whats the point of stretching the inevitable!
