The Eternal Rest

Since I was little, I have always wondered, why many people say that dead people are in a better place? I remember when my grandpa died, I was so sad and had 11 years old, and I remember my aunt trying to calm me, telling me: “Don’t cry, grandpa is in a better place now, he doesn’t want to see you crying”, but is there a better place where we go when we die?

Death is a mystery that no one can explain, although many people have died, they can’t return to tell us how it is to be dead. Even though every single person is different, since we are born, we all will die, all of us need to die, I see it as a cycle, and we need to die so another person could live, even though nowadays when a person dies, like 5 babies are born. That’s why we shouldn’t be afraid of death, but should we be afraid of losing someone? For many people it is very hard to lose a close person, even for me it is terrible, but why being afraid, if I’m not afraid of dying, the problem is that we don’t want to suffer, but why do we suffer? Is still the question, if we are only earning a little time, because as I said we’ll all die.

Finally, it does not mean than dying is going to a better place or something like that, dying is passing to another step, a completely different step, in which we have been before being born, so are you afraid? No, not any more.

“It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other”.

Francis Bacon
