Life comes with death, and everyone will eventually face it. While we are still alive, we can deal with death in two ways: ignore it, or confront our own mortality by clear thinking about death, to reduce the suffering it may bring. However, neither of these methods can truly overcome death.
As a Buddhist, I consider death to be a natural process. As long as I am still alive on this earth, death is inevitable. Once I realized that I cannot escape death, there is nothing to worry about. I prefer to see death as the necessity of changing into new clothes when the old ones are worn out, rather than an end. However, death is unpredictable: we do not know when or how we will die. Therefore, it is necessary for us to make some preparations before death actually occurs.
