HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

should not vary depending on whether it occurs shortly or at some
far-off time.
If, in the face of death, grief is the correct response to give, then
everyone should immediately start grieving for himself or for an-
other, before the time of death comes. Or, he should overcome his

heedlessness and strive to have a deeper understanding of death.
To this end, being acquainted with the reasons for heedlessness
will be useful.

Causes for Heedlessness

— A Lack of Sagacity: Some people are not accustomed to
thinking over serious issues. Making heedlessness a way of living,
they do not think about death. Trivial issues, already "congesting"
their minds, do not allow them to give serious thought to grave is-
sues. Thus, they spend their lives drifting in the daily flow of events.
Meanwhile, at the death of somebody, or when the conversation
turns to the subject of death, they derive comfort from blurted
phrases and simply avoid the subject.
— The Complexity and Vividness of Life: Life flows very fast

and it is alluringly vivid. In the absence of exceptional mental effort,
man is likely to take no notice of death, which may overcome him
sooner or later. This is true especially for people who do not compre-
hend destiny, putting trust in Allah and submission to Him. From
the moment these people become conscious of themselves, they
strive to ensure a good living. Such people constantly chase after
new plans, interests and objectives and do not ponder on death. And
one day, they unpredictably and therefore with no preparation, face
the reality of death. But then it is too late for them.
