Aging, sickness and death are natural process of life. From birth, we are destined to reach the path of death. Most people would go through the path of old age and sickness before they come to the path of death. However for minority of people, misfortune can happen to them and they never get to the path of old age. For instance, we have children who fell down from their flats or they were being choked to death by their own toys.

Still others choose to end their life at an early age, due to personal problems or other problems of life which they cannot cope with. The last possible group of people who walked on the journey of life to death are those who are young and sick and die at an young age.

From birth, the ultimate destiny of life is death. It is a fact. When there is life, there is death. When there is love, there is hatred. When there is happiness, there is sadness and grief. When there is merry-making occasion such as the birth of babies or Christmas Celebration, there is also mournful occasion for you to weep over such as the death of our loved ones or Good Friday (for christian). We know all these will happen at a time, we do not know when and what will happen, yet, people cannot resist love, temptation and to enjoy life. By reproducing, they give rise to more birth and eventually to more death.

Humans are kind by nature. We are social animals who are capable of love and care. So it is natural that we will love our families and friends, including our pets! Humans bring joy and sufferings to themselves. They choose their own destinies. They bring lives on earth when they get married, make love and give birth. They gain happiness in the process, but they are indirectly causing pain too. Pain when they experience when their loved ones die one day. Pain when they cannot bare to leave the loved ones behind when they are destined to die. Sufferings like this is all because of our hearts. Our hearts cannot bare to leave our loved ones, we love them, and care for them. When we leave them, we do not know what will happen to them. On the other hand, we do not want to leave our loved ones, for what they had contributed to us. Our loved ones might be our parents, they had spent their precious time on us, we want to spend our life, repaying them, we want them to be by our side always, and be filial to them.

Attachment and desire is the greatest attribute to pain and suffering of mankind.
