Life is full of miseries. Unsolved and untold ones. At times questions like why should people die? Or more specific, why should good people die? Remains unanswered. The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. Only the creator, God, has the answer and we His creation just believed its fate. This, many people try to change by challenging this issue in the court. An example of a case in Britain where a lady is challenging the state to take her own life (BBC 2008) but not granted. This is an example of death not by choice.

Death is the termination of the biological functions that define living organisms, and depending on your religeous believes, it's a time to be answerable to the creator, God, of all your activities on earth. A time of total recall from birth to the last day on earth. Numerous factors can cause death: predation, disease, habitat destruction, senescence, suicide, conflict, malnutrition, or mere accidents resulting in terminal physical injury. The principal cause of death among those in developed countries is disease precipitated by aging. No matter how one dies, it has been destined to happen may be that way?

Choice as defined by wikipedia consists of the mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them for action. To die or not to is not by choice, because God has not and will never allow man to live forever on earth.

You can only destroy what you created. God created life, so He is the only one who can take it period. Whoever take his or her own life is committing a mortal sin (according to the Roman Chatholic Church believes), and mortal sins are unforgiveable, hence by implications, the person is condemned to hell of everlasting torments- so, its not worth it, does it?

Death is fate and can occur at appropriate time- not early nor late. A time to be born and a time to die. It is a precautionary measures to prove to man that we are answerable to God, to curtail evil activities on earth and to prove God and good men right otherwise, men will enjoy doing evil.

When we rememmber death and the last day judgement, we tends to mend our ways and do what is right. That, I guess, was God intention of allowing death to be by fate for if its by choice, many rich and highly influencial in the society will have choose to extend their lives and live forever to continue their evil deeds on earth at the detriment of others. Thanks be to God for it came to past that death is fate.

It is through death that man passes to eternity and mortality either in heaven or hell depends on your past activities on earth especially the last minute before death and the final judgement.

Death, my beloved readers occurs by fate- we shall all die one day. When and how remains a misery. Just be good and believe in the last day judgement, so that on this day, God will look upon you with His mercy.

God bless you.
