Prompt: unpopular opinion

People tend to avoid talking about certain things, not that those things do not matter but because talking about them creates fear or tension in them. We are all guilty of this.

I saw a prompt from @Jumper-01 and so I decided to write about that one thing which I am sure almost everyone detests to talk about. DEATH. Death is an inevitable end that we must all face. There is no denying the fact that one day, we will be wiped away from the surface of the earth. People have the avoidance approach to the topic of death but that will never make death to go away. There is this fear in everybody that once they are dead everything they have all there achievements on Earth we'll all go to waste. Other people will enjoy their wealth when they are no longer there.

The panic of death spreads its fluttering wings. Once the topic of death is raised, you begin to hear words like; "God forbid", "I shall never die". The truth is that all these things will never stop them from coming to us. That is an inevitable end to human life. It is something that must occur.

When people fall seriously sick, the fear of death begin to seep deep into their bone marrow. They begin to experience the fear that they will soon die and nobody will remember them after they are gone. All their life achievements will be gone and their unaccomplished achievements will be flushed down the drain.

I also fear death. When I hear stories of people's death or when I see the people around me die, I begin to rethink my life. Thoughts like; will I be the next to die? who will be the next to die? begins to flood into my brain. I am sure that all of us usually develop these thoughts when people around them die or when they hear stories of death. The answer to those questions remains unknown because death is a no respecter of person. It has no respect for your title or even your achievements. It comes like a thief.

One time I was with my colleagues at work. One thing led to another and the topic of death came up. I remember one of them who got disgusted by the topic saying that death was never for him. He strongly admonished us for bringing up the abhorred topic of death. According to him,death only came to people who talked about it. I saw in him the fear of leaving this world.

one of the things that also create in us the fear of death is that we do not know what would happen to us after we are gone. The fear of what the afterlife will have for us. Christians would have the fear of the uncertainty of whether they are going to heaven or hell while traditionalists or those who believe going back to their ancestors would have the fear of whether they would be accepted by their sisters or not.

Many people have done a lot of things to avoid death but because it is an inevitable occurrence, they still ended up losing their lives. I remember seeing an article online about a rich old man who had promised his doctor a fortune if the doctor will ensure that he lives up to hundred years. I saw the article some years ago so I do not know if the man was able to live up to 100 years or death was able to snatch up his dream of living up to 100 years.

most time when people experience occurrences that are life-threatening they begin to have a change of heart and a change of behaviour. The fear of death has made most of them change for the better. Though it is undeniable that after sometimes when the life-threatening event has been forgotten people tend to go back to their normal lifestyles. the fear of death has truly been a tool of repentance in the lives of meaning.

Both the rich and the poor lives everyday in fear of death. The only people I believe that do not fear death and those who are already frustrated with life. Maybe because they were heartbroken or because they were too poor or because life had been too hard on them. These are the only people I know that will do wish for death. I'm not saying that that is the best option but this is just my opinion.

I believe that our fear of death has a cure. That is working hard enough to make sure that when we leave enough footprint so that when we are gone he will be remembered by the good deeds we are done or by the achievements we have made. When will live our lives in a way that makes impact on people's life, we begin to live forever in their memories even after we are dead.

There are lots of people in my community, in your community and in the world that are dead physically but I live to the whole world simply because the things they have done for the world or the things they have done for the people around them has made them to be forever I live in the hearts of many. So my friends, because death is inevitable it is better to begin now to make impact in the life of many so that long after we are gone from the surface of the Earth our names will never be forgotten.

Comment below if you have any unpopular opinion that you think people avoid talking about but I really bound to occur.
