Why Do We Die?

Why do we die? We die because we want to die. And we want to die when we’re prepared to die. It may sound crazy now but that’s the truth.

Why do we die? We die because we want to die. And we want to die when we’re prepared to die. It may sound crazy now but that’s the truth.

Why we want to die?

While we want to live why should we want to die?  And all of a sudden why would we change our approach towards life and desire to die? The change in our attitude occurs very slowly and gradually with time as we get older.

Our body is the key

Our body is the key. As we grow older we’re bound to face some physical problems. Body pain, muscle pain, high blood pressure and many other symptoms of illness will show up causing hindrance to our daily activities.  

It happens because the cells which are responsible for life are not produced or replicated in the body in sufficient quantity.

More health problems

First we try to cure those problems so that we may lead normal life and for a while we might be successful. But it’s only a start as more complications will add up soon.

At one time our body becomes crowded with variety of diseases. They become our regular companion and we’ve to depend on medication regularly.

Our life becomes a continuous suffering machine.

What is the use of life?

Life is for activity and we can’t go for any activity. We need the help of others to stay alive. Life becomes a burden. We’ve to live with pain; we’ve to live with miseries.

At time we think what the use of this life is.

We opt to die

But when miseries go beyond tolerance what will we do?  We might have to think otherwise. We may have to make choice either to live or die.  We might option to die as death could bring an end to our sufferings.

Even if we opt to die, death doesn’t come quickly. We’ve to wait for its arrival.

Praying for death

At times we pray to God for death.  In many hospitals one can find many such patients who are praying for death. They’re in continuous pain and discomfort. Though they appear to be struggling with death but truth is they want relief.

They’re the people who want to die and are prepared to die. Only peaceful time they’ve is while they’re sleeping and they want to be in sleep forever.

Death brings peace

To them life has a different meaning; pain and sufferings.  They know life can’t give them relief so they try to get refuge in death. They would prefer to die to get rid of life. To them death is peace and comfort and life is misery.

Life and death are two options we all have to remain in peace. If life can’t provide us that then death certainly will do.

    Great share,I like your article..simple and easy to understand.
    In Islam,wanting to die,pray to die is prohibited,or ‘haram’..Life in the world is only once,and we should be grateful for being given the opportunity,the chance to breathe..Grateful To God..
