Death is something a lot of people are afraid of, yet some people seek death. For those who are suffering, old age, living through pain, they tend do seek death as their way of escaping. What if there’s no death, like Saramago illustrated in his book Death with Interruptions, how after New Year the entire society does not have to face death anymore, that is something most people would want, because they can do whatever they want, not need to feel there’s not enough time. Even going back in the Qin Shi Huang dynasty, he is know for the emperor who created the Great Wall of China, another thing he is known for is seeking ways to live longer. He wanted to find the medicine where he will never grow old, and die, so he can rule the entire China once and for all. Yet, naturally that cannot happen, death came, and he died, but his legacy remains. That’s the meaning of death, during the individual’s lifetime, one should appreciate, and live to their fullest, because with death comes, it means the book of one’s life has finally ended. To me, death is neccersary, is not something that should be avoided, because if there’s no death, it means there’s no new life. Although death might sound scary to most of the people, and no one wants to see their love one dying, but our society already taught us to accept death.
