Death

Once a person dies, he is forgotten after sometime unless he is very famous like Shakespeare or notorious like Hitler. Each religion has its own theory of what happens to the soul after death. One thing we must realize is that when we are on this earth, if we do something worth while for our fellow human beings, other than being selfish, we can die satisfied. If it is not the case, all the wealth we have amassed or the knowledge we have gained or the degrees we hold or the number of religious places we go to won’t give us any satisfaction and we will die a terrible death. The last minutes or days or even years in our life will be spend regretting our actions. The thought that if we had one more chance we could undo all the awful things we did will haunt us day and night.

Some religions believe that the rites performed after the death of a person would allow a person’s soul to go to heaven. One thing the living relatives of a death person should keep in mind is that the money they spend on the last rites and the feast after that is of no use. How they served the dead person while he was alive is what counts. There is no use spending money on a corpse. It would be better to donate the corpse’s eyes or any organ which can be used, to bring relief to any living person.
