Death, the fate all man fears, unknown of its meaning; we are afraid of it because we do not know its purpose. Death wakes us up to our fantasy, allowing us to realize our time here is short. Thus, we suffer due to this haunting realization, for the longer we live on this earth, the more we grow to cherish the positive aspects it provides us. So, in light of this, the need to avoid death grows more profound in our being, and even though we may try to avoid it, forget about it, or even escape it, we are nothing more than a blind man trying to outrun the dark.

However, in the depths of our suffering, we desperately search for a savior to relieve us of the burden set upon us. This is where many theistic religions are built on, man's innate fear of death, and as a way to remove this fear, the idea of life after death gives us something to look forward to. No longer would we have to fear the unknown nature of death, as it gives us comfort knowing we won't have to face what's out there alone. We would have someone guiding us through it to an overall more loving and joyful life than the one we grew so accustomed towards. As a result of this, the essence of thinking logically is broken because in the tapestry of death there is no logic needed as our fears overwhelm our thinking, making us more susceptible to ideas which minimize our fears. Even if man did try to understand the full extent of death, he couldn't simply because death surpasses the bounds of normality, not operating in the physical realm, going beyond man's reality, which he is too futile and unknowing to understand.

Nevertheless, death meets us all, and nothing we do can allow us to escape it. Day by day, the hourglass of our existence is running out, and all we can do is accept it as our fate. However, death is not this broad in the sense of cause and effect; it is more complex than that. Death is one of many beauties life gives to us as a gift to use in its fullest form, only if man can transform his mind to think critically and open his eyes to see the gifts which were given. This realization allows us to recognize death's benefits provided to all men. For instance, death's cultivation of meaning in life. When born, the overwhelming fear of death is a burden set upon him like Sisyphus carrying the weight of death on his shoulders up and down the hills of life until he meets his demise. Thus, man lives with this burden as a realization of how short life is, providing a ripple effect on his own life, allowing him the opportunity to live out his days as if it were his last.
