It is very common to hear people talk about death being an equalling event. They claim that whether you’re rich or poor, the grave respects no man and the the same way you a poor man dies and decays, so does a rich man. It is said that death is leveller – an inevitable phenomenon that reduces all mortals to the same level
This can’t be far from the truth because despite the fact that every one who dies undergo the same decomposition process, some people who were well to do or rich before they die get treated better than others.
No one would want to die and be buried in a place so bad there’d be rodents and bushes all around. No one would want to be buried in a place where proper cleaning is not done or respect given to the dead.
It is important to work hard and earn financial stability because even in the bible families had their own tomb for resting in peace when they die. A look at any local public cemetery you know would send chills down your spine and make you start wishing you can live forever.
