Reading one of the blogs of a fellow blogger,(Prisoner - Thank you !) made me ponder a bit about the concept... The widely accepted and universally philosophical concept called Death. Steve Jobs..in his Stanford grad speech..mentions.. No one wants to die. Not even people who want to go to heaven want to die to get there... Its true.. No one wants to die.. But it is a great motivator for life isn't it.. It gives us the hope we need..to bide past every single day of our lives.. It clears our thoughts and emotions to think of the things and be with the people, that matter the most.As for life after death, maybe there is, maybe there's not. But who wants to wait and find out. Everyone wants to live this life, get to do everything they want in the time given to them. No one wants to wait till life after death(when we are said to possess so called powers - courtesy..movies like Ghost !) to do everything they've always wanted. Everyone wants a full life. A life filled with happiness, sorrows, ups and downs. And yet, when faced with Death...
Death leads you to believe, to hope for all things good, for what's worth. Death makes you spend time with people who matter the most, do things that you've always wanted to do. Things that you thought you had the next twenty to thirty years to do. You call it your destiny, fate or whatever, but it is still the single best invention of life(in Steve Jobs' words). I totally agree...
Death is.

hi Uma.
thanks for all the great comments! i am glad that i am not the only person in the world who thinks the way i do, and that some aspects of humanity can be shared around the world.
i have never read the Jobs' speech before, i will check it out.
i am sure we will keep in touch for some time to come.
