Description
Why begrudge him of the gift of death? You say that life is a miracle, surely death is but an extension on life. Yet when he died, you wept, why do you weep so? You wish he were still here, why? He led a long and fulfilling life yet when finally his time comes to move on to the next stage, instead of being happy for his life, you weep. Any who gazed upon him in his last hours would know that his time has come, make peace with it. Just because he is no longer here right now, does not mean that he loves us less, or that we love him less. I know that he loves me, I know that he is proud of me, yet you say loved and was, as if to say as soon as he dies he no longer loves us. We go to the funeral, a service of remembrance and reflection, a time to say good-bye. Again you weep, your tears of sorrow dampening the spirits of all. The priest, a friend himself, says “I prayed that the lord would take him” and yet still you weep. When he was born, tears of joy were shed, why can\'t this be so again? Your tears are useless, destructive and saddening, so cry no more, for he is gone, and he deserves to move on guiltlessly.Related content

Wonderful, and utterly un-selfish. Beautiful word choice. And the flow is very well done. The content is great too.
Now to remark upon the content. He may have been ready to die, but most everyone else didn't seem ready for it. The love still exists, but now, when they talk to him, they will never again get a response. Although it's selfish, everyone really wishes for that response. It's typical human nature. Like them, I am not afraid for my own death. Rather, I am afraid that the people around me will die. And afraid of what my death would do to them. He deserves to move on guiltlessly, definitely does. Yet maybe even with the tears he can do that. For maybe now he understand all that he could not understand in life, he understand why they weep, and forgives them for it.
Maybe all of this moving on and soul things are just objects that humans have made up to make ourselves feel better about facing both life and death. Who knows. But generally, I agree that final good byes should be said joyously, always looking for the next time that we'll be able to say hello.
