Death has a lot of names

Death has a lot of names, but no matter what we call it, we are all conscious that fortunately or unfortunately we are all convicted to death. Death is a topic a lot of people struggle to realize it is unavoidable because they are scared of the thought of their life ending. Our entire existence is restricted by time, not even allowing us the right of determining how or when our mortal lives draw to a close. So if you look at older people, they have had the pleasure of living a long life and most of them seem ready to welcome death, kind of as if they were waiting for a friend to come visit and take them to a place where they can finally be at peace. On the other hand, some of us have personified death as an evildoer whose presence swoops down upon us and chokes the life from us. Although, in reality, we know that death is not the grim reaper from fairy tales. Even if someone has accepted the concept of death, we’ve all been afraid of death at some point, but for good reason, for it helps us stay alive.
In Emily Dickinson’s poem “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”, which is obviously about death. She wants us the readers to look at death as a new adventure that awaits, rather than an end to existence.
