Death.

I have always wondered how does it feel to be dead and people throwing sand on your corpse. Also what actually happens to my soul after it leaves my body. Maybe it wanders here and there before entering the grave, watching everybody crying over the fact that I am now dead and not going to hear my voice anymore.

This year, we lost so many celebrities because it was their turn to die. We born to eventually die one day. Paul Walker had a great impact on so many people in the world because of his performance in Fast And Furious and his love for cars. It is also said that he helped many people especially children in distress so respect to him. It must be a big shock to his family, co-actors and his closed friends. Having to hear that somebody die all of a sudden in a car accident is hurtful. This reminds me of a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) : ''you will die the way you have lived the entire life'' and it occurred the same way to Paul.

Then Nelson Mandela passed away but he was such a legend that nobody can pinpoint a finger at him. He spent 27 years of his life in prison and when he got out, he left all the hatred and anger over there to start a new life. This is what I call a strong man who knows how to control his emotions and feelings. He always thought about the well being of South Africa and taught one love, brotherhood with no boundaries, no racism and gave a new vision in this cold world where every single individual thinks about himself first. Nobody can ever forget what he did because he had no self interest in his doings.

Moreover seeing people compare Barack Obama to Nelson Mandela is what enrages me even if Obama says that he is inspired by Nelson Mandela. One should not do that at all because they should put Obama in prison for 27 years first then start talking but things would not happen that way. Not for a man who sends drone to countries like Afghanistan, Yemen or Pakistan for simply no reason, it has never been in the news that he did anything great like Madiba so basically they are poles apart. He is just only the first black American president in the history, that's all.

To end up, I would like to say rest in peace to the thousands of people who die every single day and are not famous so that they can be in the news and others can dedicate their status, tweet, post pictures on Instagram to share their grief and sorrow.
