Good thinking Key. After all, all this is nature. What is borrowed from nature has to go back to the nature. Thanks for the comment.

The truth exposed in few meaningful words. According to Hindu Dharma, death is not a destination. It is a part of the eternal cycle of birth, death, rebirth. It is only the body that will lie in the casket, but the soul flies out of the body to a new space or body.
