Death

Death today.

How apt I thought, with the weather being as it is. Rain since 6am. Time creeping ever so slowly that I think I am in a time warp.

How I understand death is that it is inevitable, it is either sooner or later, one way or other, apparent in ever human's life. So, how come is it that some people don't understand this "concept" and want to hold on forever? Sometimes I do understand that as family members, you'd want to do everything you can to pro-long a person's life but seriously and more practically, you know life must come to an end.

I never understood the reasoning and torturous show of compassion by placing someone (especially for the elderly folks or terminally ill) in a hospital, allowing the doctors and nurses to have a full scale permitted experiment of finding out what the heck is wrong with the person what with needles and tubes running in and out and all over the person. Torturous maximus. The person is already in pain and here we are adding to it!

All calls for the person to say that he/she wants to go home, has to be heeded. A person should die in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiarity, not the strobing lights of a hospital ceiling.

As much as I understand death.. I hate Death. Such an oxymoron.
