i lit my lucky strike, i can't help but think about how much time we have left in this world. death plagues my mind these days. a friend of mine passed away earlier this week and everything felt so surreal. how could this happen? it was such a shock. there was no warning. it just happened. and i wonder, where do we go once we stop breathing... it frightens me sometimes because i don't have the answers. it's just so strange to see a person alive and moving one second and the next second, that living energy is gone. you still look the same. the body is still there. but where have you gone?

and i have absolutely no idea on how to react to a person's death. it's like this person broke up with you and you can't even stalk this person. we can only speculate where we would go after death. many people believe in heaven and i think that's a good way to think about it, regardless of its validity. some people think that we just disappear into darkness, and non-existence. personally, i think that our living energy is recycled and we go on in this world living in another form of being. not necessarily an animal, plant or even human being - just energy drifting around in this universe.

i realize we are all alone yet we are all one in the world. we are part of an infinite concept, and we will never die. because everything is infinite. we just recycle. everything's a cycle. but all of that don't matter to me. the one thing that matters most is to know that you've lived a fruitful life. knowing that you have brought happiness into another person's life, knowing that you have brought happiness into your own life, knowing that you have made a difference in a person's life, regardless of the extent of that impact. small difference, big difference - what matters is you have helped someone. what matters is you have made the world a better place by influencing negative living energy into a positive one.

we may never be able to resuscitate the ones who have passed, we can only try to colour the lives of the ones who are still here, including your own. there is enough ugliness out there, don't make things worse. everything lies in your own perception. to me, we are one in this universe, at this particular moment and for eternity. we are so primitive yet so advanced. because we live to live, we don't just live to exist.

that's why death shouldn't scare us. it is a part of life. and life is just an infinite cycle of lives. death creates life. life creates death. and it goes on and on. i miss her. i miss her presence in my life. i dislike the fact that i will no longer be able to communicate with her. but she is here. she is in my memory, so vivid and beautiful. she is in my heart and she will live on. of course i will not argue with her parents that her death is an unfortunate one. but perhaps the remorse, in time, can be channeled into something grander. knowing that you've lost someone you loved so much, yet not giving up on love.

i'm sure that all the wonderful souls of the people that we love will be in safe hands in this universe. we are one.

Thanks for this post. My condolences on the death of your friend. Death is so final one wonders where the person has gone. The good thing is, the loved one lives forever in our hearts with fond memories. While these memories do not replace the person who has left, they are worth holding on to. Imagine what will happen if all memories are gone the moment that loved one dies. Just imagine!!!

good post @honeybee , thanks you fery much for sharing at articel

Death is a door for entering into a new life. We're all going to cross that door, but the question is what's behind that door.

Maybe hell or heaven...

nice post and upvoted,,i will tell you.,.death has no power on your soul..through Jesus Christ you will be restored and resurrected ,may your body die..but your soul will no longer suffer 2nd death..through Jesus Christ we will be save.john 3:16...

blessed be the lord the most high for the lamp of God who take away the sins of the world..
he already paid it all..Jesus Christ will restore everything..have faith and work by faith through him..no one can enter into the heavens except through him and in him..

kindly see my post..https://steemit.com/poetry/@mrblu/the-bluepost-walk-by-faith-poetry-walk-by-faith-and-work-in-faith-through-jesus-christ

the same think with you

I just think about it like this: Whether I like it or not, I'm gonna die, and thats a good thing. If there was no end to life, then it wouldn't mean anything. It would be, Errrrr, empty? Hard to find the right word...

if you know your destination after death you are not afraid of death (John 14:1-6) read it in the Bible thats the answer Jesus is the answer

Death is a mystery. And in my opinion once someone become aware of death and its meaning, that is the time he/she fully matures as a person.

Death is the only certain thing in this world! By the way I'm new here, please follow me @asbonclz :) thanks!

Death is the beginning of birth. This is how our spirits evolve.
