On The Topic of Death

Death is the fate no one can escape. We could die today; we could die tomorrow morning; Death’s timing is unknown to us. Whether we want to, or ready to, whether we are afraid or not, the day will come when we have to leave this world. Our death is the end of our time on Earth.

The truth is, nothing can live forever. Everyone and everything will die in time. Plants, animals, and people - all will die. Death is a natural part of life. It’s a matter of time before we leave our loved ones, or our loved ones leave us.

We should just accept death as the natural process that it is, happy for the departed because they are now free – no more earthly problems to trouble them. And we should move on too - get on with our lives. If they are truly dear to us, they will live on in our hearts.

Still, I don’t think anybody is necessarily ready for death. We can only hope that when our time comes, we are ready to leave this world with no regrets. Death is shrouded in its own mystery. One can never know beforehand precisely how or when it will come. No matter how prepared we are, it always seems to take us by surprise. Even forewarned we seem unable to contend with the shock or accept it without experiencing deep feelings of fear, superstition, anxiety and isolation.

Unfortunately, the fear of death keeps us from living, not from dying. Realistically, it is the unknown we fear when we look upon death. It is not death, but the not knowing what happens after death that is terrible. We fear what we do not know.

However, so far, there has been no indication that death is anything but the end of a life. And that after your death, you left nothing behind but a pile of ashes. So, there is nothing to fear about death.

Perhaps a fact of life most conducive to living fully as a person is an honest awareness and acceptance of death.

Reflection On Death

Death is the end of life. Life and Death are the two ends of the same process. All that lives must one day die. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Shocking as it may sound, as soon as one is born, one starts dying. The first breath is the beginning of death, and every moment of our life is a step towards the grave. All these might sound morbid. But they are facts of Life, to be understood and faced. No one can escape this process of life.

The best way to die is to go to bed and never wake up again. There will be no suffering, no fearing, and no waiting for Death to come. This is what everyone wishes. Unfortunately, our death is something we do not have a choice, or say in. We will never know when we are going to die or how we are going to die. We just have to accept what comes.

As men, we are all equal in the presence of death. Whether you are royalty, or the common people, whether you are rich or poor, good or bad, we are all equal in death.

Reflection on death would remind us that life is fragile.

Always be thou prepared, and so live that death may never find thee unprepared. - Thomas A. Kempis

The world's an inn, and death the journey's end. - John Dryden

Graveyards remind us of the vanity of all human endeavour. - Ivan Klima

You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went, you can swear and curse the fates. But when it comes to the end, you have to let go. - Benjamin Button

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. - Steve Jobs

Life And Death

We can think of death as something that stalks us all our lives, or we can see it as a reminder that our time is precious. For some people, Death is a blessing. It is a release. At the end of the day, nothing in life lives forever. Everything dies, plants, animals, people… everything comes to an end.

Life and death are the two ends of the same process. The first breath is the beginning of death, and every moment of our life is a step towards the grave. All these might sound morbid. But they are facts of Life, to be understood and faced.

The contemplation of death should make us realise how precious life is and how fragile it can be. Nothing is promised. We could be alive one day and dead the next. So let us be grateful that we are alive and well.

It is no exaggeration when a human speaks the words ‘I’m dying’. Because it’s the honest, hurtful truth. Every human lives to die. In the end everyone lies at rest. By the minute we are all slowly getting closer to dying. Therefore, live the minutes and hours of your days as if they’re your last. - Alessia Ng

Death is the easy part, the hard part is living and knowing you could be so much more than you’re willing to be. - Robert M. Drake

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live. - Marcus Aurelius

Many people die at twenty five and aren’t buried until they are seventy five. - Benjamin Franklin

Weep not for him who departs from life, for there is no suffering beyond death. - Palladas

No matter who you are, you will be put abed at last with a shovel. - Austin O’Malley

While life could be evaded, death could not. - Dean Koontz

Without death in the world, existence in it would soon become, through over-population, the most frightful of curses. - Christian Nestell Bovee

Life And Death Are One

All that lives must one day die. Everything that has a beginning has an end. Life and death are the two ends of the same process. Shocking as it may sound, as soon as one is born, one starts dying. The first breath is the beginning of death, and every moment of our life is a step towards the grave. All these might sound morbid. But they are facts of Life, to be understood and faced.

How fascinating is death, the extinction of life. One moment here and the next gone. The light put out and only the empty bag of the body left. - Henry van Dyke

The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins? - Edgar Allan Poe

To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable. - Erich Fromm

It is a myth to think death is just for the old. Death is there from the very beginning. - Herman Feifel

For a man who has done his natural duty, death is as natural as sleep. - George Santayana

You will die not because you are ill, but because you are alive. - Seneca

Nothing is born which Death makes not subject of his state. - Bhartrhari

We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways. - James Joyce

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else. - Marcus Aurelius

What new thing is it for a man to die, whose whole life is nothing but a journey to death? - Seneca

Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings. - Horace

We’re all going to die. All of us. What a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. - Charles Bukowski

Death Is A Great Teacher

Nothing in life lasts forever. All things decay and decompose after a time. We too will die after a certain number of years. Once you understand and accept that, you no longer have to worry or fear death. And until that day comes, you are free to forge ahead with your goal, or to live the life you want. You will come to realize that time is precious and there is no time to waste. You have to make good use of the short time you have left.

Death teaches us that in the long run nothing belongs to us. We came into this world with nothing. We will leave this world empty handed. Even if we desire to form permanent attachments or possess, we in truth, cannot. Things will break in spite of us. People will depart when it is their time no matter how loudly we protest. - Unknown

Death is the greatest of life’s teachers. It is only the ignorant and those who are afraid to live who fear it. The wise accept Death as their intimate friend and most gracious teacher. To be fully active and fully functioning as a person we must make death a life long friend. - Leo Buscaglia

Death also teaches us the impermanence of all things. All things change. All things die. This is true in nature as well as in human life. Even granite mountains crumble into dust just as the most beautiful of past kingdoms have left only silent stones to surround their mystery. To be attached to things or people, both of which will surely vanish, can only bring despair, for eventually one is left with only a handful of dust or a frail memory. - Leo Buscaglia

Dying makes what is left of living seem precious. The dying, and those about to die, feel that these last moments must be made beautiful. They cannot be permitted to include the bitterness and the enmities of the living that seem so inexhaustible. So often we hear people who, in dying, resign the old enmities and ask and grant forgiveness. Through such forgiveness they help to make dying beautiful. And, incidentally, they offer a lesson to those who go on living the apparently inexhaustible life. - John Daniel Barry

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. - Steve Jobs

Garden of Peace

There are not many cemeteries left in Singapore. Due to the lack of land, most cemeteries were exhumed and the ashes stored in columbarium niches.

Hence, the National Environment Agency (NEA) introduced Inland Ash Scattering (IAS) as an additional option for the management of cremated ashes in Singapore, beyond the current options of storing in columbarium niches, storing at home, or scattering at sea.

The Garden of Peace is the first of two government-managed ash-scattering facilities, and is designed as an open garden setting. Designated lanes for the scattering of cremated ashes are spaciously laid out, with trees and hedges between the lanes to accord families privacy, and to provide a respectful and dignified environment for the ash scattering process.

Families can gather, view and take part in the scattering of ashes in a respectful and dignified manner, within a serene and tranquil garden setting. The designated ash scattering lanes, lined with a bed of pebbles, allow the ashes to percolate into the soil beneath.

The ash scattering garden at the Choa Chu Kang Cemetery Complex started operation on the 11th of Ma 2021. It adopts an open garden concept, with designated lanes for walkways and ash scattering. It is a secular facility open to all religious faiths, and has the following features:
• Boundary shrubs and vegetation have been planted to clearly demarcate the garden boundary and provide sufficient privacy
• Landscaping and greenery have been used to create a peaceful, serene garden setting, to provide a dignified and respectful environment for ash scattering
• Ash scattering lanes are separated and have been designed intentionally to accord families with privacy
• Ash scattering lanes have been designed to allow ashes to naturally percolate into the soil underneath
• User-friendly features, such as wheelchair access and seating areas, are provided for families to gather, view, and participate in the ash scattering process
• To maintain a clean and serene environment and the secular nature of the garden, religious ceremonies or rites, such as the burning of joss sticks, food offerings, playing of instruments or music, will not be permitted within the garden
• Visitors or next-of-kin can utilise the prayer facility near the North Gate at the Garden of Peace, to conduct any simple rites

A fee of $320 (including GST) will be introduced for the scattering of ashes. Interested applicants who wish to apply for inland ash scattering may do so via NEA’s online ePortal, at 👉 HERE

I have made known that The Garden of Peace would be my final resting place.

Information on the Garden of Peace are from the following sites.

Nirvana Memorial Garden in the distance.

Situated at Old Choa Chua Kang Road, Nirvana Singapore also known as Nirvana Memorial Garden is the first ever privatized and modernized columbarium in Singapore. Surrounding it is greenery coupled with tranquility and serenity that was designed with aspects of Feng Shui elements.

To secure a place in there for a niche, we are talking upwards of $10,000 SGD. ‘Prime locations’ go for as high as $40,000 SGD, or more. The more expensive the niche, the better the facilities – like good feng shui location, air conditioning, performing of rites and prayers for the deceased etc... I heard that if you have the money, you can buy a place there and then resell it for a profit later if you can find a buyer.

Why Fear Death?

Death is a part of the process of Life. It is not to be feared, it should be expected and accepted. Perhaps it is not death that we fear, but the unknown – the, what happens after death. If there is anything else after death, we will face it, we will know when the time comes. Otherwise, it is all imagination and speculation. You are just frightening yourself, worrying yourself unnecessarily. It is better to concentrate on living a good life, and making the most of it while you are still alive and well.

He who doesn’t fear death dies only once. - Giovanni Falcone

He who fears death dies every time he thinks of it. - Stanislas I

The fear of death is more to be dreaded than death itself. - Publilius Syrus

Thoughts On Death

Life and death are two sides of the same coin. Where there is life, there is death. We must understand this and accept that there is no escape from death. Death is not necessarily something negative. Some would say Death gives meaning to Life.

Once we understand that we are here only for a few years, we might learn to appreciate the short time we have more. We should all 'wake up' and start living the life we want instead of wasting it away.

Here are what some people say about death.

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. - Napoleon Bonaparte

Death appears unlovely only to those attached to earthly things. - Unknown

Death is a creditor that is never ignored. - Edward Counsel

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. - A. Sachs

For death is but a passing phase of Life; a change of dress, a disrobing; a birth into the unborn again; a commencing where we ended; a starting where we stopped to rest; a crossroad of Eternity; a giving up of something, to possess all things.
