Not to be outstripped
As part of humanness, we are all born (in Heideggerian sense, we are “thrown”) in the world. The world is governed by time. We, humans,are existing in time, thus, as being thrown into the world, we have a beginning and since we are finite beings, we also have an end – death. Birth and death are two things we cannot remove from our existence. Whether we like it or not, we will die.
Death is certain
While death is sure to come, it is however indefinite as to when it will come. Death is impending, meaning to say, it can happen anytime.We do not know exactly when. That is why, we should try to live the best life that we can for we never know the day of our end.
Death is indefinite
The death of the person belongs to him. Nobody can experience his death except himself. There can be no proxies or substitutes for a person in experiencing death.
Death is one’s property
This means that when we die, we die alone. We Have no choice but to face it on our own. Death also removes all our relations to others. In contemplating death, we realize our own individuality and independence from the world.
Death is non-relational
Death cannot be taken away from a person. Even the person himself cannot remove the possibility of death in his life. One cannot make himself live forever. Even though we see in fiction movies the idea of immortality, death, in real life is a definite reality in which nothing can be done to be outstripped.
Death is not to be outstripped
