Do We Survive Death
When we all came to this earth, we all know that we have certain life span. According to the Hindu mythology, “we came naked to this earth and we all should leave this earth naked.” That means when we all are born we didn’t bring anything and we cannot take anything from this earth. What I think is that, when we all die, there is nothing called hell or heaven, it is just the change of energy from one form to another. I don’t think that we can survive death because there is no meaning of just having the soul when there is not a physical body to control it.
Every living being on this earth that exists, dies. The difference is that they some die early and some die later. There is no expectation for the death, there is nothing that can save us from death. There is no medicine that can save us from death. If we fear death, we will be killing our self each and every moment before our actual death. So, it’s a, natural phenomena. Nobody has or will have the power to escape death. According to a great philosopher Socrates, “The Human body is composed of physical body and nonphysical soul”(Rachels 38). Today’s generation believe that soul is a religious idea but Socrates believes that the soul is independent of religion. Most people think that when a human dies, soul also dies, but I think the soul, including the parts which perceives, think and feels will never die. The physical body may die, but if a human being does good works that benefit human being then his soul and name is never dead. His good soul and his work will always be remembered. Death is just a removal of the physical body, which helps in the transformation of energy from one form to the next. What I mean is that, a good, soul is just the name that the future generation can remember the good this he has done to society or himself. For example, one of the greatest dictator Hitler, is …show more content…
I strongly disagree with this statement. What is the use of the soul when there is no body/brain to control it? I believe that memory is the actual soul. When the memory also dies, when the body dies so does the soul. All people have different brains as well as different souls. I agree that the soul is in a very pure form It depends upon what type of body controls it. It can be both negative as well as positive. Talking about today’s world, all the criminals use their soul as a criminal because their body commands the soul to do negative things. In each and every stage of life the soul keeps on developing like the programs of a computer. It becomes more and more complex. Life goes during different stages where we learn many things so does the soul. As age grows the soul also grows old and becomes weaker and weaker. Every parts of our body has the life spam and after they stop to work our whole body including the soul stops working. Surviving death is beyond expectation of every human …show more content…
