[mukto-mona] The warmth and the cold.

In the material sense it's hard to determine how much right a departed soul may have on a living person. A news report from Detroit, Michigan has painted a very gloomy picture of that relationship. The city morgue is full of unclaimed dead bodies waiting to be buried but people are so cash strapped that they are not claiming the human remains of their near and dear ones. The poignant story of our mutual relationship is warm and lively as long as we are alive and emotional. The moment the cold hands of death snatches the warmth from our bodies we do not belong to anything. Our lifelong struggles to leave a mark on the ever trembling pages of time instantly come to an end which makes us a matter of the past. This news of the dead waiting to be buried in the Detroit morgue is heart breaking because this is happening in the richest nation of the world. The stark reality of the peoples economic plight in the United States cant be under estimated but the emotional stress of the families whose dead are languishing in the morgue is overwhelming. The distance between life and death may be a breath away only but the emotional bondage is not that short. A friend of mine whose aunt died in the Canadian arctic region had to wait for 7 months to bury her because the ground there is so frozen that no grave can be dug during the arctic winter. She was ravaged by her emotional stress during this period and needed medical attention.
