Should I End My Life

Most of us (especially those who have seen a lot of ups and downs in life) at a certain point must have thought about ending your life. But do u really think that you have the right to end your life. Sometimes we are in so much physical or psychological pain that we think to end all that pain by ending ourselves. I expect your thoughts at the end of this article to get your views on this thing too. But at this time lets proceed with my views.
Our life outcome of someone else's effort. Those someone else are not just our parents, its not just our mother or father. Those someone include our friends, brothers and sisters, our spouse, our children. Life is not just taking birth. Life is much more than that. Its also connected to a number of other lives. We are a just a part of a social network. Our one decision can make a lot of effects on lives of other people.
Sometimes we think that others don't like us, don't trust us, they don't need us any more. But its just our thinking (mostly for a few hours or days). Some of us make a very hard decision during that time. If we wait for a few more hours or speak to someone regarding our feelings then we might not take such step. We might think that no body need us, but there is always somebody who can't live without you, for whom you are very special. That special person may be your father , mother, friend, spouse, son or daughter. You might be thinking that that person don't need you anymore as he / she is angry with you. But it doesn't mean that he / she will live happily without you. If you love him / her then you will not want to make them unhappy and regret their one fight with you for their whole life.
Even if you think that that special person want to get rid of you, but you love him / her and want to fulfill his / her wish by ending your life. In that case there might be somebody else who need you much more than him / her.
We think that our life our own, but its not. it belongs to everybody who are part of your life. Just think about those who will feel lonely without you. Who loved you more than their own life, who struggled to make you a better person, who took you to doctors when you were ill, who wept when you were in pain, who wanted to make your life better, who spent their lives to make you something. It doesn't matter if you have reached you goal in life or not. But there are still chances. But if you end yourselves those chances will be gone. There is always a way towards better life. Don't let that chance end. HOPE is everything. Hope for better !

Immortality: Myth or Reality

Posted by luputtenan3 on Tuesday, September 17, 2013

Immortality is the one thing that has driven men crazy since ancient times. Some are still searching for it. The reason is simple. Nobody wants to die. Death is the worst fear and search for immortality will always remain in this world. But this search for immortality has given a number of lessons and gifts to mankind. This search has taken some people in wrong directions but also taken some towards great scientific discoveries.
Religions are also created for immortality and remove fear of death. This thing is true for most of the religions. All religions and castes are created to remove the fear of death.

Castes Religions and Fear of Death

If we begin from castes, then Castes are a group of people belonging to a particular trade. When we are in group, we feel a feeling of security. Basically this feeling of security removes fear if death.
Now if we talk about Religion, then religions were group of people from a certain locality or country. Religions include a number of castes. So religions are bigger groups, so its effect to remove fear is bigger than caste group. Different philosophies were created by different religions to connect men with god. Connection with god is the ultimate way to remove fear of death. In this way religion make its very hard impression in the life and mind of simple human beings. However there we intellectuals in all religion who created methods of meditation to connect men with ultimate power of universe.

In this way men tried to remove fear by creating religions, meditation and ways of worship. But some men with scientific approach also tried to make men immortal.

Science and Fear of Death

Medical science succeeded to increase the lifespan of men. A number of new medicines and vaccination were discovered by scientists and some life-threatening diseases were fully removed from various countries. In similar way men made a number of discoveries to make make life comfortable. For example electricity, bulb, telephone, fan, airplane and lot more. All these things are in some way related to postpone the death. But none of them succeeded in removing death from men's life. Medicines and luxuries made human life comfortable and increased lifespan but death can't be removed.

Some intellectual people tried to use meditation to connect men with the energy of universe, and concepts like souls and traveling from one body to another is discovered. According to some philosophies soul never dies. It takes birth as a baby, dies as an old man and then again takes birth as a new baby. Some people strongly believe in this philosophy while some don't. It may be true but it may also be true that we believe in soul so that we feel that we are immortal. If we think like an intellectual, the population of world is constantly increasing and if each body has a soul the from where are these new souls coming into existence.

We will discuss the fact of Souls in our next article. Keep visiting betterhealthfacts.blogspot.com for more such articles. Your comments and most welcome. It may help in better understanding of immortality.

Death is Truth (The only Truth)

Posted by luputtenan3 on Friday, September 13, 2013

We are living in the age of technology where every thing is in the form of 1(one) and 0(zero). If 1 is everything then 0 is nothing. If 1 is life , 0 is death. Usually people don't like to talk much about death. Do u know why ? Its the fear of death. Nobody ever want to die, or let his near ones die. Even thinking about our death or death of a closed one makes us uncomfortable. Its normal. Its true for everybody. Life in itself is a struggle for existence.

Can death be explained ?

Death is not a very simple phenomena. Its a constant process that starts from our birth and finishes with our body, which we call death. First we will discuss it as a biological concept. Till we are in a mother's womb we are getting life. Our body organs are formed and new cell and tissues are formed. After we are born, the wear and tear starts on our body. Some cells die and body generates new cells. But the process of generation of new cells is higher till we are fully grown into a man or woman. It remains balanced till a certain age. But after some time the process of generation of new cells becomes slower than death rate of cells. Here we are not just talking about cells and tissues of outer body but also of the inner organs. Our immune system also starts to degrade. Combination of these negative features becomes the reason for various diseases. All diseases occur due to mis-functioning of our vital organs. For example diabetes occur due to mis-functioning of Pancreas, Blood pressure occur because our blood can't control the cholesterol level and elasticity of blood vessels is also degraded. So in the end when one of our vital organs is degraded to the extent that it can't work, then our body dies. Usually we call it death when our heart stops beating or our breathing stops.

Death is Truth

If we talk with a positive attitude then life is truth. But what do we call positive ? We only call positive that is good for us. But is it correct to to say positive to those things which are good for us. According to me thuth is that which is the beginning. Beginning of human body is just a part of sequence of steps. But truth is that beginning of all things is zero. Universe started from a zero and in the end every thing will be zero again. That means zero is truth. Our life also starts from a zero and also ends in a zero. Which means zero (death) is truth.

Philosophy about Death

According to a number of religions, life is a never ending process. Our body is a part of it. Truth is our soul, which can never die. Our body dies because it has certain limitation of time. It can't remain healthy after certain amount of time and thus our body have to die. But soul travels from one body to another and get new birth.
That was the religious philosophy, but it can also be explained in a scientific manner. Life continues in different forms. It doesn't need a soul to there. Our body is composed of different elements present in nature. When we die, either our body is cremated or burnt according to the religion that we follow. But thing remains same our body got mixed with soil, water and air. All these things produces life in new forms. It may be in the form of trees or insects. You might not like it if i say that you would be insect after death, so lets say you will be a tree. Fruits grow on tree. Humans, Birds and various animals eat those fruits and vitamins and minerals present in those fruits help them grow their body. Thus our human body helped in development of various forms of life. Thus life continues.
You can also assume it like an ice cube. Suppose you are an ice cube and when you are poured in a glass of water, your death process starts. You might think that you are going to die. But you are dissolving in the form from which you were generated. Just your state is changing from solid to liquid. When the ice cube is fully dissolved it mixes with that water in the glass. Now if you want to extract that same cube again, its impossible as the molecules of that ice cube are mixed into the complete complete glass of water.
I hope that my explanation of death will help you in understanding death in a better way as its nothing to fear about. Its a part of journey and its the only truth.
Your comments are most welcome. It might also help me in improving my knowledge.

Life and Death | Is There any Afterlife (Souls) ?

Life and Death

Life and Death is a never ending topic for discussion. Everybody have their own views and philosophies, but those views don't change the meaning of life and death. It only shows how that particular person thinks about it. Views of every second person will be different from the first. Difference might be minor but there will be.

What is Life ?

Is life just taking birth, growing up with your parents, getting married and watching you son / daughter and then their son/ daughter.Then finally saying goodbye to all. This is very common thinking about life. But if you think in that way, it means you are living a very normal life with no fun at all and waiting for death.
Some people think tat life is time to have fun. They like to travel, party, drink, eat and say that this is life. They also know that death is certain but they want to enjoy every moment of it. Other people think that these people are wasting their money for no reason. But if you ask them they will say that they want to live (without misery).
What do u think which one of these people know what life is ? The answer is nobody knows. But what matters is how you live that life. Life is an opportunity. Don't waste it for normal reason just like a common man. If life is coal under the ground, you can either make it diamond or just let it be there where it is. Others will use it for their own reasons and you will suffer.
There are three types of people. First, who live a normal life and die. Second who enjoy every moment of life and then die. And Third, who try to find and answer to life, they keep searching for the answer through books, preachers and meditation. I think that the second and third type of people are on the better way. At least they know what they are doing with their lives.
Life is a journey. You can either live it like a donkey (controlled by others) or as a master of your own. You know which one is better.
Sometimes people say that they want to enjoy every moment of life but can't due to the situations. There may be some problems in your life or with your near ones, which keep binding you with their pain. But that doesn't mean you can enjoy life. You can enjoy life where you are. You don't know to go on a beach to be happy. Otherwise everyone living on the beaches would be happy.
Happiness and enjoyment is something that belongs to you. You don't need to search for it anywhere. Its your own way of living, your thinking that makes you happy. Circumstances and current environment can just change your mood for a few moments.
Some people think they will be happy while drinking, but they can't do it whole day.
Some think they will be happy on a vacation, but you can't be on leave all the time.
You can live a happy life where you are, just try to be happy and put your efforts in the best way to make your life happy.

What is Death?

Its the question that nobody can answer. Everybody have his own philosophies. No body know whats true. Some say that its an end. Some say that its a new beginning. But one thing is certain that its end of your body. Every thing that is born comes to an end, so is with body. Every body have a hidden desire to beat death and become immortal. But nothing is immortal in this mortal world.
According to a philosophy, the concept of soul is just a output of our hidden desire to remain immortal. We can't believe that we would not remain in this world without our body.
Don't worry anything about death as its not in your hand, but your life is. Make it beautiful and full of happiness.

Is there any Afterlife ? Are there Souls ?

Some people keep saying no to all pleasures of life so that they can get heaven, but nobody ever returned from heaven to tell weather he/she got those pleasures or not. If you think like an intellectual person, we have got five senses in our body (touch, smell, taste, sight, speak, listen). We feel all the pleasure due to these senses. All these senses are contained in this body. But if we don't have this body, then can we feel pleasure. Did you ever tried to find if the soul have some senses. Even if there are souls, they can't feel anything. So why should we sacrifice our present for an unknown life after death. That's why i say that enjoy life.

There is a lot more to discuss, as we are talking on a never ending topic. BetterHealthFacts will bring more such intellectual discussion for you in near future. Keep visiting !
