"Survival" is "Suffering"
"Death" is "Deliverance"
Death, as the culminating event in the life of an individual, has always fascinated me. I have always felt that death is probably the best event that can happen in one's life. As life goes on, I am getting convinced with this thought.
Death is one single event that puts an end to all frustrations and aspirations that trouble us throughout our life. Just imagine that if this greedy man were to live on and on, with the hangover of hundreds of his unattainable desires and millions of his unattainable ambitions, life could be miserable. At death, he is relieved of such a great mental load.
All these untiring efforts, day and night, to satisfy the insatiable, exponentially growing desires become meaningless on the occurrence of death. And death is certain.
Basically, life, in ordinary sense, comprises of events occurring and reaction thereto, between birth and death. A meaningless effort in the search of a mirage that does not exist.
Understanding life in the context of death can bring in a sense of detachment from the events of life and make us look beyond...to that eventual peace, that is certain to come.
Finally death comes in the form of deliverance.
I desire for the uninterrupted peace of death. Death seems so beautiful. Complete serenity. Nothing to achieve. Nothing can disturb. No anxiety. No ego. No identity. Complete silence. Death is adorable. Life is a compromised existence, restless, bounded by constraints of time, space and identity. Death is deliverance. Death is darkness. Death is Kali- the Goddess -my ishta.

Our life dreams the Utopia. Our death achieves the Ideal.

Your conceptualisation about death is really fantastic. I agree that 'Life imprisons, death liberates'.
