Essay on bacon's death

Adults are afraid of death, just as children are afraid of darkness; Children's natural fear of darkness is increased by rumors, and so is adults' fear of death. Undeniably, it is sacred and pious to meditate on death and regard it as the retribution of sin or the road to heaven; It is cowardice and ignorance to fear death and regard death as a tribute to nature. However, in pious meditation, there are occasional illusions and superstitions. In the abstinence books of some Catholic monks, we can read such words: people should think about what it feels like to be crushed or slapped, and then think that death will decompose the whole body and what pain is. In fact, dying thousands of times is not as painful as being tortured by a limb. It is said that the vital organs of life are not the most sensitive parts of the human body. Therefore, the philosopher who only talks to normal people as a philosophy is extremely correct: what comes with death is more terrible than death itself. Groans and spasms, facial changes, mourning of relatives and friends, mourning and funeral, etc., all show the horror of death. However, it should be noted that human passion is not too fragile to overcome and overwhelm the fear of death; And since people have so many followers who can defeat death, then death is not such a terrible enemy. Revenge can conquer death, love will despise death, honor will long for death, sadness will pounce on death, and even fear will expect death; Moreover, we also read that after the Roman emperor Otto fell by the sword, pity (the most fragile feeling) led many soldiers to commit suicide. Their deaths were purely out of sympathy and loyalty to their own monarch. In addition, seneca also added demanding and tired heart. He said: there are brave and sad people who want to give up and die, and there are also people who are tired and bored. Even if a person is not brave or unlucky, he will whisper, just because he is tired of doing the same thing endlessly. It is also worth noting how Caesar of the Roman Empire was expressionless in the face of death, because they were still me at the last moment of their lives. On his deathbed, Augustus was still praising his queen, saying, "Farewell, Livia, don't forget their married time"; When Tiberius was in danger, he still concealed his illness, as Tacitus said: "Physical strength is exhausted, and treachery still exists"; On his deathbed, Wei Paxiang sat on a stool and joked that "it seems that this is good for the Roman people", and poked his pubic neck while shouting; Severus will give orders as usual: "If there is anything else I should do, go and get it." This kind of death is like death, and so on. There is no doubt that Stoic philosophers charge too much for death, and because they are too well prepared for death, it makes death even more terrible. Teenagers speak better. He thinks that the end of life is a natural favor. Death is as natural as life, but in the eyes of young children, being born in death may also bring pain. The unconscious death of the victim in persistent pursuit is like the temporary unconscious pain caused by trauma in a bloody battle; It can be seen that for those who are determined and committed to doing good, the pain of death can be avoided, but I especially believe that the most beautiful hymn is the song "Lord, please let your servant die safely now" sung after realizing his lofty goals and expectations. Death can still open the door to fame and eliminate jealousy, because "those who are envied before death will be loved after death."
