Death is the End

Usually when I hear about death, specially in literature or philosophy, there are always conclusions that try to highlight the importance of death as a "new beginning" or a "simple step in a person's process". Well, for me that is simply too idealistic to be true. In fact, I think that the people who wrote these kinds of conclusions are too coward to accept death as the end of life -which should be obvious-, or want to give themselves too much importance as the ones who see things in a different way.

So, if you ask me what is death, I will give you a short answer: Death is the end of material life. In my Catholic view, I strongly believe in Heaven, but I do not think that we are entering a "new life" after death. Life is over, that's all.

People shouldn't be scared about death. We are all going towards that same final destiny and no one can escape from it. Therefore, I think that people should worry about what they do in life, and how they share with other people here, in this world. Make your life pleasant and leave a good impression in this world. That´s all.
