Is the death of a loved one considered a joyful or a sorrowful occasion?

Understanding of nature can be hard sometimes. God has created the world and every living being and with the creation, he has written an end too. Gradually everything will have an end, which in another term we know as ‘fate’. But fate is fictional; not everyone believes in it. Some people believe in facts more than they believe in fate, facts that are scientific and of a scientific nature. There had been many scientific theories on ‘death’ in the past. Some even claimed death not to exist. For real? Yes! There was a theory on death by Robert Lanza according to which death doesn’t exist. The theory known as biocentrism stated about having the innumerous universe and the probability of anything happening to occur in some other universe. It said the ‘death’ doesn’t exist in the real scenario, the human body is a 20-watt combination of energy and at death this energy transfers from one world to the other.

However, science may deny the existence of death, but this theory confirms of energy leaving the human body after death making it lifeless. ‘Death’ in emotional terms is harsh. Every living being has the tendency of getting attached; be it an object, thing or a person. Likewise, we develop a love for the things or person we are attached to. We want things/person we love to be with us forever. Even the slightest thought of the loved person leaving us can bring displeasure; leaves no doubt about death. The death of a loved one is surely a sorrowful occasion irrespective of whether we believe in it or not; whether we live on fate or facts. The death of the loved one has the power of tearing an emotionless person apart. The sorrow of our loved one leaving us lasts for days and in the situation, nothing helps; only time is the best healer but when most of the damage is already done. Some people find it very difficult to cope up with, so much so that it leaves them mentally or physically sick. This sorrowful occasion is not just for a while it lasts for a phase, whenever we are reminded of the person. Death can never be a joyful occasion; it gives no pleasure or joy in losing a loved one no matter how much irritating or annoying that person be.

This is why more than for ourselves, we pray for our loved ones. We wish good health for them, give them our blessings because somewhere deep inside we don’t want to lose them.

May God bless us all!

Amen!
