I know the meaning of Buddha's cycle of life .. birth , age , sickness and death. Through age, sickness will come and we cannot forever maintain our youth . The body's immune system, the nature aging process will reduce resistance and increase strength of the body and finally, we get sick and die. There is no way to stop the aging process but we can only delay it by using supplements or herbs or chemical interference. We will definitely need to die as the body ages and wear down.
Until a ripe old age, it is better to die , if not , we will suffer from sickness and pain.. Gradually, we cannot eat , we cannot walk or hear, It will be a torture if all our abilities start to be disabled. Even, when we pee , the urine will flow on to our pants or spray uncontrollably everywhere and mess up the place we live. It will be a scary situation when you reach this stage of inability. It is better to gradually die unless you want to be bed ridden and suffer more.
Nature have away to terminate our life and it is often fated. When the fateful time comes, we have to go ,then we have to go. There is no way to extend a moment or given a second chance. It is time to die , we die. Period.
People go to religious places to pray for long life or healthy life . Unless, we are healthy and alert, we should let it go and let fate take its flow. Praying is only to give us hope and to make us more comfortable. People said that through religious their lives is better . It is a yes and no... Yes, it gives the hope to live longer and no , our time or day is numbered.
My Sister in law who has an experience with Cancer told me that her days are numbered . I laughed and tell her that all our days are numbered . It is only that we do not know when. How can we live forever ? Nonsense. It is just that we do not normally think about it until it becomes real or near. Nobody lives forever and even , if we can live forever, it will be an endless days of boredom. Yes, life is fair and simple , once we live , we have to die.
Namaste.
