DEATH

Almost everyday, we know of people who celebrate their birthdays. For many, birthdays should be celebrated. But for some, they even don't bother to tell others of it. Some are afraid to get old. Some are embarrassed of their age. Some instead consider being old as maturity or superiority over others. But for me, going through another birthday, and getting old is one step near DEATH. We don't know when or how we'll die. May it be of an accident, a disease, old age or even suicide. Even fortune tellers are not certain. Anyway, here are some trivia on death. Hope you enjoy them. Or I hope you don't and just get paranoid. :p Just kidding. :)
