MUSING - WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE DIE? (A PHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE)

What happens after a person dies? It is a mystery because no one who ever died gave a vivid account of the after-death. People who claimed to have seen God and the devil when they “resurrected” were said to have been hallucinating and were never dead in the first place. Those who were believed to have actually died never came back to tell any stories – Mohammed, Buddha, Theresa, even Jesus. The question still lingers: what is death like?

The living man is made of three components – the body, the soul, and the spirit. The body is what everyone sees, the matter which exists on the earth and moves about. The soul and the spirit, however, cannot be seen or touched. They are expressed through the body. The soul is the intellect, the will, and the emotions of a person. The spirit is the element that sustains the person (let’s not get spiritual).

When a man dies, his spirit is separated from the body. His soul dies with him. As there is no life, the body becomes lifeless. So, what happens at this point? Nothing. The body would be buried and a merry funeral would be held in honour of the dead. Death is a long dreamless sleep from which one cannot be awakened by any alarm. The person is no longer part of the life and existence on earth. Life goes on, but without the dead. The living remember all the things they have to do without them and they weep, but the dead do not hear them. They are already in that dreamless state where nothing from Earth gets to them no matter how loudly their names are screamed. There is no waking up. When a person dies, they are dead, gone forever into nothing. The dead cannot see anything, and they do not affect the living in any way.

So what happens after we die? Simple: nothing. We are just no longer part of the living world.

THE DNA OF LOVE Every relationship begins with love. Every relationship is sustained by love. Everything good or bad done has love in it. Even the worst kind of hate has a root of love that went wrong. Love is a package of feelings and actions towards an object of attraction.

SHORT STORY: CHANGE

“You and your baby are going home today, Tabitha. Aren’t we glad?” Dr. Tablus asked me cheerily. Yes, I was.
