"Immortal, some wish to be...
Sorry, but I disagree!"  
 
What would you do living forever, anyway?
Maybe you can think about it now and start living in the now, somehow!!  
 
Why are we forced to cry and behave unusually when a person we adored, dies? Why are we not just left alone to cry, yell, scream, jump, act mad, senseless, and all over the place for weeks and months or even a year?  
 
Why are we not left alone to digest the fact that this will happen to every littlest creature alive on this planet? And the ones who know this, are they still going to mourn?  
 
"Sorry Simran, you are way too insensitive", you might say. But the ones who know, know how I have borne the loss of my loved one. But, time heals, maturity kicks in, and senses evolve  
 
Or you might tell, "A person going at a certain age i.e. old age is still acceptable.
Ok, so maybe you can think again. Is our love and affection towards them, selfless or selfish? If it is selfless, why would we want our loved ones to die even in old age?  
 
Of course, they would have seen almost everything till then and hence we'd cry less but if the same person died before old age, we'd then be howling. Why? Because they couldn't be a part of our needs/wants or they couldn't see us getting graduated, married, successful, rich, or whatsoever? Oh but, they did see us doing amazingly well till whatever age they were alive, but we wanted them to see even more. Who's then being selfish here? Or I guess it's human nature to never be satisfied and ask for more, always!  

---Why did this not happen?---
 
-Why were we not taught to celebrate and pray for the person who now has finally let go of all the sufferings and pain, unlike, when they were in their physical form?  
 
-Why are we not told, "This is what it is! It's a fact of life. You either move ahead, help and uplift others to cope up and stand strong, or allow yourself to sink in your own tears!"  
 
---When will this happen?---
 
-When will people learn to celebrate, be grateful, and cherish the moments and memories they made (with the ones who've left them), forever?  

-Instead of sympathizing, when will people motivate us and help us stand even stronger than before?
 
-If you want to, you will find a 'new-you when someone you love passes away, over time. You will want to help, understand and be there for others evermore because you now know, I or you might die today or tomorrow, anytime and anywhere, in sleep or in all our senses. Why not then do the best for all? 

...and so I hope you someday say,
"Immortal, some wish to be...
Sorry, but I disagree!"
