Here too, death is unexpected, except in instances of suicides where the person may contemplate the act for long or may commit it on the spur of the moment unable to control his own tumultuous feelings. Unexpected murders or suicides too perplex us to a great extent. A small mistake or an error of judgment may prove costly for self and for the lives of others. When death enfolds us in the form of accidents, I am sure, no one is prepared for it. But almost everyday we come across instances of precious lives being lost in accidents. People perish due to their own mistakes or pay with their lives for the mistakes of others. However, it is the unexpected or unforeseen deaths that cause inconceivable misery and pain to family members, close relatives and near and dear ones, many of who are unable to come to terms with such sudden loss and rebuild their lives. Constant improvements in the medical field have helped us to delay death upto a certain age in many cases. When it comes to death, old age is one of the factors which one cannot avoid. But ‘how death comes’ is a question that we human beings need to ponder over, especially when we come across instances of sudden or untimely deaths. It is said that “birth is accidental but death is certain,” which means that death is inevitable and we have to accept this well-known and universal fact.
