Every death is certain

Indeed. We will die in the end, all of us. Not one of us can escape from such certainty. And as we are continue living today, what lies there beyond death is a mystery.

Some people believe in heaven and hell, that what we do while we are living would be weighed, and the balance of goodness versus bad would decide where we'll go. Just in case it's hell, then how our sins weigh would decide also how long and how bad our stay in hell will be.

Some people believe in salvation. That when you have faith in Him, you are saved.

Some people believe in reincarnation. That souls are re-cycled, that your core are being used and used and used until it reach its most pure form: the highest enligthenment.

Some believe when the body die, then that's all there is to it. No more.

For a certainty, death sure leaves us with mixed feelings: wonder, fear, assurance, peace, or, on the other hand, defiance. It's not easy not knowing what lies ahead once your heart stop beating and your whatever it is in you brain stop ticking.

Today is a present. To live today is a blessing. Death comes as the end to all of us, and no chosing of how or when.

So live! Today!

("Every death is certain" is taken from a line from the movie Kingdom of Heaven)
