Death


What would it be like to be a dead man? : I am sure that most of us must have thought about the question just more than once. It is one thing that can be fascinating, fear-creating, unthinkable or make-thinkable, awesome and awful state everything that has what is called life will have to go through. As I think most of the time, I wonder what it would be like after I die. There might be another me, or the same me or just my remains. Whatever might exist after I cease to exist will definitely have a mark, at least a tiny one, my mark on it. Or at least, I hope there will be :)


Soul : Suppose, as some of our old and young believe, if I have a soul, how might that experience be.. I am sure there is no one who can share that experience with us. So, let us forget how it might exist and rather focus on why it came into existence. Sure enough, we are all greedy. No one will be satisfied with one life. May be you are. But, definitely not me.
@ Manikanta: A new concept --> If you are responsible for more good deeds than what you are expected to do, may be your soul replicates to let you do more and more. And it could be the reason why the modern day pop growth rate is very less.

Doubt : hmm.. I keep talking about death and life. how do one actually define death? Is it when one ceases to exist mentally? or one ceases to exist physically in senses? Or one's heart stops beating? Or one's neuro-activity completely ceases? Definitely, there does exist a definition for clinical death. But, patients did survive even after being reported clinically dead!! So, what is death? When are we dead?
