Why do people dá»Ă«???
People die not because they wanted to die.
People die because they wanted to live!
Even in su.icide cases, deep down in the heart of the victim is the desire to live. He wanted a life, a life he could be proud of, but his predicament which does not represent what he yearned for only breeded more frustrations. Unfortunately for him, in a bid to find life, he found dĂŠth.
If you're in the league of those who like kil.ling animals like chicken especially during Christmas, you must have been familiar with the wriggling of the chicken once the throat is cu.t with a k.nife.
Growing up, I believed that the sign showed that the chicken is conceding to death - more like 'a dance of de.ath.' However, the shocking truth is that the wriggling of the Chicken when the throat is sliced is not a sign it is conceding to de.ath. Ironically, the chicken was desperately looking for life, but in a bid to find life, it found de.ath.
Looking at a da3d man lying life.less in the morgue, you may be quick to conclude that all what he wanted in his last moment was to just 'die'. So we use phrases like 'He fought well but he finally GAVE UP THE GHOST' as a way of summarizing his story.
The truth however is this; people don't 'give up' the ghost like we claim. They FIGHT to live, even in their unconscious state - they fight to their very last breath! But like every other tragic story, in a bid to find life, they found death.
Believe it or not, every living thing is engineered with this instinct, a common goal, a desperate search; 'to find life', and the human race is not left out.
Our daily preoccupation is as a result of this singular cause - we are looking for life, in a suffocating world. Our definition of 'LIFE' in our hearts does not juxtapose with our present experience. So we toil each day, running helter skelter, joining groups and forming societies, looking for life even in the most uncommon places.
The advent of so many religions is still another outcome of this tiring search. People don't become Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Buddhists etcetera because they want to 'die', not at all. Everyone of them joined what they joined because they're looking for one thing - LIFE.
But from the analogies we have given so far, that you are looking for life is NOT a guarantee that you'll find it. In fact, even the most sincerest of searches will still find 'death' if they search in the wrong places.
Unfortunately, many of us are searching in the wrong places, neglecting the fact that it is only the creator of LIFE that should have the patent to LIFE. The blueprint of all that life entails should only be found in His custody yet He is ever ready to give out freely to as many that will be wise enough to search in His vicinity.
Moreover he has already formulated an absolute CAPSULE of LIFE in his exclusive laboratory to cure men injured with the fangs of death. He called this Capsule Christ and gave Him power to give men LIFE.
In him dwells in full measure all that LIFE entails; Light and Peace!
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.(Luke 1:79)
May the creation not wait for too long a time; may lines continue to fall in pleasant places.
Selah!
