Death has this dual quality of being certain and also uncertain. On one hand we all know that it is surely an universal truth that all living things have to die. On the other hand we have very little idea of when and how we all will meet our deaths . Definitely something to ponder over .
Don't think that I am having macabre thoughts or getting negative. I think everyone contemplates on such matters time at some point of time. To me these thoughts came as I read the news of over 100 people killed in UP and Bihar by lightning strike. Such deaths are not uncommon , all over the world. But perhaps the instance of so many deaths on the same day is a bit uncommon.
I mean , come to think of it. All these people who were struck by lightning perhaps had no inkling about their fate even moments before they died. Uncertainty always exist with life, or death. But this was the height of it. And this mode of death has existed since the beginning of this world, whenever it was. There is no answer or explanations to questions that rise in our minds when we hear such news. Nor is there any rationale.
