Short Story: Goku Is Gone

“I became frustrated with living in fear. I felt as if I was always waiting for death to come to

I was alone. In the dark forest, water up to my shoulders, all alone. I felt hopeless, as if i was to meet my end in that dark hole. Part of me just wanted to give up and let this dark depth consume me, but i did not. Courage is something we are all familiar too, we have

I’m bound into a vicious cycle of obscurity so deep that the choice was luminous. I seem less than myself, but at the same time, I can feel relaxed- even self-righteous, believing that I, a mere mortal, am immanent within this existing plane… And, I ask, Why must we face reality and not become lost in the gray abyss of our mind when it returns to the dawn of darkness from whence it came? Truly, it is comforting there…

The question of God’s existence has been pondered by humans for centuries. There are an infinite number of different opinions, arguments, and ideas favoring for or against the idea of God. Personally, I strongly believe in God not only due to my religious affiliation, but also because of my own opinions, ideas, and experience. To begin with, the complexity of Earth and the life that has formed upon it cannot be based just on luck or chance. I believe that ultimately God, as a power, rather than a mystical being is the one created and controls the universe. Although the God and his authority are not entirely comprehensible by humans, it’s our faith as worshiper that eventually lead us to a greater understanding.

Moreover, how to explain the fact that during the clinical death many people feel like the soul is leaving the body, and they may have a look at themselves from the another side, or see the dead relatives, or see the wonderful and pleasant light. Even though this process cannot be clearly explained by medicine, with Graves’ explanation of the soul whereabouts these visions are impossible.

Death enveloped me, it suffocated me. It stuck to me like glue. I felt I could touch it.

As I read the reading “death”, I can conclude that the main idea for this reading that the author wants his readers to believe that the death is not something scary. We all should not be afraid about the fact that our bodies will cease to exist after death.

The foundation of our beliefs can be shaken because of traumatizing experiences. Our religious beliefs can be challenged by the thought of death. Why does death happen to good people? Why does it even happen at all? These are questions that go through the minds of people who face and witness death. In the novel Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, Antonio is an attestant to several deaths at an extremely young age. The passing of the people he saw forged an unwelcome path that opened the door to spiritual challenges he never thought to be within the context of his fledgling existence.

GOOOOOODDDDD AFFTERRRRNOOOONNNNN ladies and gentlemen of the Byron Bay Poetry Festival Committee. I stand here before you in my corporeal form to inform you of two pieces of prose on the theme of ‘life and death’ that are very dear to my heart, I must convince you to include them in your reading. But, why are we, as mortals, intrigued by life and death? Is it the thought of staring willingly into the unknown, not knowing when it will end? Or is it the fact that we don’t know what comes after? Is there such thing as a glistening heaven, or do our spirits lay rested in the garden soil, our bodies rotting beneath the flowers? Well, no matter what it is that makes us so curious about the circle of life, for billions of years’ poets have been

I slipped beneath the surface of the pool of grain, my hands sticking straight up over my head as I held my breath, preparing for death. I was preparing for the world to go silent. This was the exact situation my father had warned me about, and I had fallen victim to it despite that. Fourteen years old as of two months ago, and death had already come for me. Or so I thought. I felt firm, callused hands grasp my own, plucking me from my grave. The relief was wonderful. I drank the air in, filling my burning lungs with as much as possible. I almost laughed out of sheer happiness – until my eyes met my father’s.

Life’s greatest mystery among the living has always been death. Although death is a universal experience, the question, “what happens after death?” has haunted humanity throughout all of history. Even the most intelligent beings of the human race have argued the issue of death through the lenses of science, religion, and philosophy, and come to no agreeable conclusion. Death is an inevitable phenomenon, but it remains the most daunting unanswerable question. In her poem “When Death Comes”, Mary Oliver uses simile, metaphor and a comforting, inspirational tone to minimize the fear and arguments surrounding death and emphasize the importance of fulfilling life. Rather than being a daunting end, death’s approach should be a motivation to experience

The author’s diction makes the reader feel that death ca be defeated. For example, death has been called “mighty and dreadful” but the author shows that it is not more than a “short sleep” where men go for the “rest of their bones.” The general idea of death is frightful and scary, but the reader is told that it’s only a short phase everyone goes through. It’s an opportunity for men to separate their soul and physical body. In

Since the beginning of time, people have many different ways of going about the idea of death and what the afterlife may hold for them, whether they’ll be reunited with family and friends or if they’ll be reincarnated or, maybe nothing at all. This is true for writers, poets and artists. William Cullen Bryant’s “Thanatopsis”, Kansas’ “Dust in the Wind” and Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” they all center their idea death, but approach it differently and conveys their points differently. One glorifies death, one says life is meaningless and the other glorifies life.

It is natural to fear death, or to lack in understanding of the matter. One thing that we all know, though, is that death will come. In this poem the speaker is reminded of that sad truth, and relearns how to live her own life. Her life is of more value now that she is reminded of her death to come. The poem itself brings the two main ideas of gratefulness and acceptance and gives it to the reader. The poem teaches us that life is a gift. It teaches us that a vast mystery of the unknown such as death, can actually enable us to appreciate the little things that are often

Atheism is the absence of belief in any gods or spiritual beings . They still follow moral codes like us; nevertheless they can create decisions without the help from God. There are reasons why they chose not to believe in God. They might have lived in an environment where religions do not exist, or religions are being rejected. The environment in which we are living is a factor that can greatly affect who we are. Some atheists also believed in God before, but lost faith in Him maybe because of a tragic event, or an unfulfilled prayer. Another reason is the lack of evidence to prove the existence of God. For this reason, they concluded that Gods do not exist, which is a fallacy. Yes, there are no concrete evidences to prove God, however, there is no evidence that God does not as
