Benjamin Franklin once said nothing in this world is set on stone but two things: death and taxes. Some evade taxpaying, but no one really gets to escape it completely. And the same goes with death. They are the two most inevitable difficulties one can encounter. Its burden is real and whether you are indirectly and directly affected, it has the capacity to bring you down.People die of different causes. When you ask someone how they want to die, many would say, “I want in my sleep. I want to when I am grey and old. I want to die in the time when I can say that I have my life”. Of course that is the ideal setting for death; and people do not get to choose who they expire in this world. It happens. Some people are merely crossing the street, totally unaware that a speeding vehicle is oncoming and about to bring them to the grave. Some people find out too late, and they come face-to-face with death just as soon as they discover that they are terminally ill. Some people die too and it’s unfortunate because even before they get to actually live, they discover they do not deserve it. In whatever context, death is sad — and then there’s murder.
