"Just as their faces are not equal, nor are their ideas." Every man is "one" in number, but is also "unique." Is different from others in it something special, own, original. Something that does not exist in the other in the same manner. This uniqueness, this specificity of its own, the fact that every man is the same and therefore different from all other men, is a reflection of the divine in man. Why look at the duel? For what "lost and do not forget", something that has been lost and that it is impossible to recover. The notion of mourning applies to all men, and not just select individuals. Observe mourning for the leader and man of the people, by the wise and the ignorant, the merciful and by taking advantage of his neighbor. In itself, death is a tragedy. What we call a "tragic death" is determined by the nature of premature death, or the unfortunate circumstances surrounding it. When a peaceful death follows a long life blessed with good health and vitality of spirit and body, a life rich in good deeds, death can not be regarded as tragic, despite the enormity of the loss and regret that it occurred. "Blessed is he who has been raised, the law of God at work in order to please his Creator, who grew up with a good name and left with a good name ..." (Brachot 17a) Why is the man turns to God when faced with death? Why is the soldier who is in a single trench, surrounded by bombs exploding around them, praying to God but never before has?. No man has ever escaped death, but through God, man can conquer death. Only God has promised that transforms death to life, a reawakening, the beginning of a new life, eternal life. This view of death is integral to the way in which religion apprehend the man, a much wider and deeper than those of the biochemist and neurologist .- "God created man from dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils breath of life. And the man became a living creature. " (Genesis 2:7). God has no body, image or form. What then is the intent of this anthropomorphic metaphor? Trusting in God and not fear, for truly there is nothing to fear. And when a person no longer fears death, then I feel afraid for nothing. Only then, when we no longer fear is when you really start living. Then truly experience every pleasure and every pain. We begin to live and we are grateful for every moment of this life. A man who fears death is in some way, too fearful of life, but when death loses its terrifying face, when a fact becomes valuable, then life is worth living. And when you have something to live for - an ideal, a goal, a sense of faith, when death comes, makes a welcome friend sent to usher in a new life. A new birth. The man's conscious life does not end with death, simply assumes a new form - freed from the shackles of material flesh. The body may die, but the spirit lives on. We can ask the doctor, the biologist and neurologist: What happens to a person who has died? Why not move? They answered that the heart stopped beating, stopped the blood supply to the mind and hundreds small chemical changes have occurred. A living organism has been transformed into a piece of dead matter. What once was a human being with aspirations, I thought, now is not nothing but a dead skin. But we have God's promise that this representation is incomplete, that the breath of life that created man to sustain the body and soul forever. Such promise was made to the prophet Isaiah: "But your dead will live. The bodies of my people will rise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust" (Isaiah 26:19) The same promise was reconfirmed the prophet Daniel: "And the many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life and others to eternal shame. And the righteous will shine with the clarity of the sky and those who are returned to justice many will, like the stars forever. " (Daniel 12:2). So what happens when a person dies? Our observation of death leads to the vision of the doctor, that is, that man becomes just a body. Indeed really small chemical changes occur in the cerebral cortex tissue. When this happens, the soul loses all contact with the body - the receptor mechanism is dead. The soul, an entity made up of pure spirit, pure thought, is now free. The Bible describes this phenomenon in the book Ecclesiastes: "The dust returns to earth as he was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." (12:7). The body decays and returns to the earth elements. We do not know exactly what it is like life after death. We'll know when we get there. What we do know, however, is that God has promised a life of divine reward, sublime ecstasy. God has promised that nothing in human experience, either through the senses or mind can be likened to the joy, happiness and delight that the soul of a man experiences when he is next to God in the spiritual world. Raising awareness of one's own death, come now or within sixty years, can be a frightening and scary. We are sad and depressing to imagine that left everything to which we have devoted our lives - our homes, our Fortunes and our loved ones. But there is a formula to avoid it. All we do is believe. All you have to do is remember God, remember His promise, and remember the existence of our souls.
