Everytime I hear about an untimely death of a person, I'm reminded of this conversation from Mahabharata, where Yudhistra had to answer the questions of a Yaksha to revive his dead brothers.
It was part of a chapter in my 8th std. English textbook.
One of the questions goes like this,
Yaksha: What is the greatest wonder in the world?
Yudhistra: Everyday men see creatures depart to Yama's abode (death) and yet, those who remain seek to live for ever. This verily is the greatest wonder.
It left an indelible impression on me.

Perhaps the best of all the questions that Yudhishtra had to answer.
yes, I think so too.
Hello, Stumbled upon your blog and find the neuro-related posts really interesting as a neuro person! The Yaksha-Yudhishthira conversation is among the most interesting anywhere too! :)
Thanks !
