The concept of the death

What is death? Why is it? Who causes it?

Living things are animated objects.

The dead are so when not animated.

Cessation of animation is death.

Who terminates the animation:

The soul or the body? Neither of them.

The soul leaves not that the body decays.

The body decays not that the soul leaves.

Neither the body nor the soul promotes

The death nor do they desert each other.

They together succumb to the pressure

Exerted by the force present outside

Death happens when the matters break down

By accidents of the external force,

Or when they weaken from the external stress

Or when they are eaten by the predators.

The flame is to burn till the matter lasts,

The life is to run till the body lasts.

The flame is to die with no more matter.

The life is to cease with no more addition.

Degraded and disintegrated  

By saprophytes at different stages,

The dead matters turn basic elements

And settle as inorganic matters.

The elements add to the growth of plants,

Plants to the growth of the herbivorous

And the herbivorous to the carnivorous

With the participation of the life force.

The drive of the life force is to survive

Against the pressure of the external force

The life force builds up the matter in growth

And when it could not, it dies with the matter

The plants and animals form a network

Trough which runs the life force, which is the soul,

Whose drive is to feed, grow and procreate.
