Death

Death is something that everyone wonders about, but no one can avoid. Eventually we are all going to have to go through death and there is nothing we can do about it. It is human nature to be afraid of the unknown and that is what makes death so scary because absolutely no one knows exactly what to expect. Anyone that does know is not around anymore to tell the people that are still alive, so we just have to hope for the best and when it does happen just accept it because there is no stopping it.
I think death is a way to keep people understanding the meaning of life and have them realize that they need to enjoy their life while they still have their time on Earth. If no one ever died the world would be extremely overpopulated and people would be a lot more careless. There are many things that people hesitate from doing, like drinking and driving, because they have that thought that they could die. If death was not an issue there would be more people running around and doing whatever they wanted.
There are many different theories for what happens to people after they die, and no one knows the exact truth. I think that whatever you believe is what you get in the end. Some people think that they will be reincarnated; some believe that there is nothing after death, and others believe they will spend eternity in heaven. Whatever you believe I think that is what will happen to you after death. There is no right or wrong answer to death, whatever religion you practice or beliefs you have is what determines your faith. Being catholic I believe that after death I will go to heaven and be reunited with God and the rest of my deceased family members.
Death is a very scary thing because it is the unknown. Everyone worries about death because if you think about it too much you can freak yourself out. Even though it is hard not to be concerned about death I try to not worry about it. I just try to enjoy my life everyday while I am still living on Earth. No one ever knows when they are going to die which is another reason death is so scary. Even someone who is perfectly healthy could get in a car accident and die instantly without even doing anything wrong. Another thing that everyone has been worried about lately is the rumors that the world is going to end in December 2012. Even if these rumors are true there is nothing anyone can do to stop it, so why even bother worrying about it. It is definitely not easy to just ignore the fact that the world might end, but it is pointless to worry about it because then you are not enjoying the time you have left. I always try to enjoy my life every day because even though I am healthy and I try not to do stupid things to put myself in danger, I could get into a car accident or something could happen and I die so I would not want my last days to be miserable.
