Death, how big matter is it? People say, it matters the most. But it all depends on from where we are viewing it i.e. frame of refrence. To understand this, suppose you are standing on floor. There are some crystals of sugar fallen on floor and hundreds of ants are on it. If you continue observing for some days, you will find some ants die, there life cycle being over, and many new ants are born. On the floor you just see varying density of black dots(the ants). What do you feel about them? Obviously you feel that its not a big deal, death is law of nature, nothing persists and nothing bad in it.
Now, sit on the floor and observe closely. You will find that they are working hard to shift those sugar crystals. They are fighting for survival, always working together and emotionally connected. Now, you will also find some ants who worked hard to collect sugar but died before they could consume it. One, definitely feels bad about it.
So when you were standing their transactions and interactions were a small thing but when you deeply get involved, you got emotionally connected, earlier you were not feeling bad about their death but now you do.
So it’s the feeling of emotionally connected that make us fear death. Does that mean to lead a happy life, one should get emotionally disconnected from all?
No, it isn’t right. Everything that god has gifted us has got a purpose, so the emotions do have. Without emotions, we would be just like machines, and then I wont be thinking this stuff.
Now, suppose there are no deaths, people who have quarrels will keep on fighting, fighting and fighting. All the belongings of both parties would get involved. It would be like chain reaction leading to all the people of world fighting with each other. No one is dying but there is fight everywhere and everytime.
So death is a necessary evil or I can say its not an evil. Even the fear of death is a necessary evil, because it stops us to do many evils. People who are not emotionally connected with anyone, either they get involved in these evils or they fight against these evils. You can never say, if the other person is on this side or other side, it’s the ratio which is there.

Really fine work my friend........Keep up the good work.......
Analogy with ants is awesome. However, the conclusion is too presumptuous because of some strong assumptions like 'everything has a purpose' (we are not even aware of all things tht constitute this universe:)) and 'will lead to chain reation' (y can't one get tired of fighting n eventually, stop fighting :))
