Death is neither good nor bad, One has no choice in the matter.....

Death is considered as something to be afraid of,
as something that should not be spoken about in happy circumstances!

But death is neither good nor bad.
You have no choice in the matter.
You can't get it sooner if you welcome it,
nor can you avoid it if you condemn it as bad.

It is a consummation which is inevitable;
from the moment of birth, the march to the
cremation ground has started.

Some reach the place quicker than others;
some go by a round about route and arrive late.

That is the only difference
between man and man.
Yet, man walks about
as if death is but a distant calamity.

Whatever your struggles
and safeguards and precautions,
the Place has to be reached some day.

Consider Kennedy,
how death was lurking around,
waiting for the chance!

Did he not have men guard him,
soldiers, security men, bodyguards?
But it was all in vain.

Whatever is uncertain,
Death is certain.
It is impossible to change that Law.
