Recently, a very good leader in the education sector in his hometown, a person who is very good in business and personal cultivation, unfortunately died in a sudden car accident. Let all those who know him sigh and sigh.
There is a saying that "God is jealous of talents". Why is there such a coincidence?Regardless of which car on both sides of the collision was, it was possible to avoid the catastrophe if they were only a second late. Sadly, disaster struck.
The pillars of the unit, the pillars of the family, collapsed in an instant. The only daughter's umbrella is gone, the wife's backer has collapsed, and the old man has lost his proud son, and has to face the tragic situation of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. Woohoo, alas!
For middle-aged people, the deceased loses his life and also relieves him of all his responsibilities and obligations in the world, and the widowed living not only have to bear the pain of losing their loved ones, but also have to take on the responsibility of supporting the elderly and raising children. So death is not the misfortune of the dead, but the misfortune of the living.
Death is a taboo topic for everyone, but it is also an issue that everyone has to face. All living beings in the world have experienced the pain of losing their loved ones. How powerless humans seem to be in the face of death. 
*There is a story about Gaudami in the Book of Life and Death: Gaudami was fortunate enough to grow up in the time of the Buddha. Her first son died when he was about a year old. Heartbroken, she ran down the street with the little corpse in her arms, and when she met someone, she asked if there was any medicine to revive her son. Some ignore her, some laugh at her, and some think she's crazy. Eventually, she met a wise man who told her that only a Buddha could perform miracles on her.
Therefore, she went to the Buddha, put her son's body in front of the Buddha, and told the whole story. The Buddha listened with infinite compassion and then whispered, "There is only one way to ** your suffering." Go to the city and ask for a mustard seed from any family that has not died. ”
Gaudami was delighted and immediately set off for the city. She said to the first family, "The Buddha asked me to take mustard seeds from a family that had never died. ”
Many people in our family have passed away. The man replied. She then went to the second house and received the answer: "Countless people in our family have passed away." She went to the third, then the fourth, ......She went all over the city to ask for mustard seeds. In the end, I finally understood that the Buddha's request could not be met at all.
She had no choice but to carry her son's body to the cemetery as a final farewell.
This story tells us that everyone has to face and accept death calmly. There is life and death, and metabolism is an unbreakable law in the world.
Since ancient times, many people have painstakingly searched for a recipe for immortality, but in the end, they could not escape the fate of death.
Death is tyrannical, it will come suddenly, without the slightest room for negotiation and relaxation.
Death is cruel and merciless, it will not let go of the pillars of the family, the old and the young, nor will it let go of the young people in their youth;It will not let go of the single seedling of the generation, nor will it let go of the lover in love.
The coming of death is sometimes very slow, and it will give the patient a faint breath for ten or eight years, so that he can live like a plant;But sometimes it's so hurried that people die before they have time to think.
Death is unpredictable, and because of this, it often brings a lot of regret to the living. I had a conflict with someone who was about to die soon, and I didn't reconcile;Children who are supposed to be filial piety do not fulfill their responsibilities in front of their parents, which will bring them irreparable regrets. Because life is a one-way car, there will never be a chance to recover that regret.
Death is fair, and all people, regardless of their position, rich or poor, are equal before death. Death is also unfair, he may give some people more than a century of life, or he may strangle innocent lives in the cradle. 
Death itself is not terrible, because the person who dies is already unconscious, without pain. There are some very romantic theories about the philosophers of death, who say that "sleep is nothing but a short death, and death is only a long sleep." It has been said that "death is the mother of rest, she relieves sickness and poverty, so why should we be afraid of her?"”
In fact, what is really terrible is the pain before death and the psychological damage brought to relatives after death. For everyone, death can only be experienced once, and no one can say what it really is like to die. But the groaning, struggling, and spasms of the sick before death, and the sorrow and pain brought to their loved ones after death are commonplace. It is these experiences that give people a great fear of death.
Another reason why people fear death is that no one knows when they will die or how they will leave the world.
There is a classic quote in the famous contemporary writer Yu Guang, "The next time you pass by, there is no self in the world." "Just imagine, today's middle-aged and elderly people, who dares to guarantee that they can still survive in health in 50 years?
Life is short and life is impermanent. We are powerless to change the fate of birth, old age, sickness and death, but we can live our present life to the fullest and meaningful. There is a fate to know each other in this life, but we may not meet in the next life. Harmonious with the people around you, cherish the fate between people, don't have to hurt each other for a little thing, don't have to fight for a little benefit.
In your lifetime, be kind to yourself, your relatives, your parents, and do your duty. Looking back on the past, as long as everything is done without shame and no regrets, it can be regarded as a real life.
Man is powerless to manipulate life and death, but there is no need to be overly afraid of death. The only thing you can do is to be optimistic, eat in moderation, live a regular life, and have a healthy body.
A person's life is actually a process from birth to death, and it is just a period of time. Since death is inevitable, the only way to face it calmly and strive to live the process of life is more exciting!
