On life and deathEither of life or death is a serious and awesome word for human beings. The same wish of all the people is living happily and freely, and dying without sorrow. There is a profound saying goes like this: “Life is cruel ,it makes you naked to come and naked to go.” While life or death is not what we can decide by ourselves, yet, how to live and how to die can be held in our own hands.A baby, as a newcomer of the world, naked and fresh, he knows nothing but to cry. When he cries, it is like a switch being turning on. Everything and everybody around him will rejoice, especially his parents who give him birth and pour their hopes and best wishes into the new life.When you are old, maybe are on the edge of dying. What is your feeling of yourself? Feared or relieved? The answer depends on what kind of person you choose to be in the whole life. There is no denying that we are all commonplace, but we can submit to the reality, we are supposed to struggle to make yourself distinguished. Then, the value of a person is estimated by what he contributes to the society and other people.~ 1 / 2 ~On the subject of life and death, though, I can’t to explain it at length, I hold to this view that whether you are now clawing your way in the bottom of the society, or you conquer the world by your wealth, only if you make a difference , even a little one, to the world and to the people around you, can you be kept in their minds. And only in this way, you can be frank and relieved when you are faced with death, Of course, then, the world will cry for you and commemorate you for what you do in your life.What you are depends on what you choose to be, so take this question seriously, think it over and over in your lifetime.
