Pay a visit to any Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and look closely at the sight of suffering patients there. One will realise that it is not God who puts us in misery but it is the intervention by humans which can only stretch death (not life, unless it is the will of God) till one starts seeing what actually happens to a body after its time is over. It is for a reason God asked us to bury the dead as soon as possible so that what is supposed to happen under tons of mud should not be seen by humans; they being weak. When we are born perfect and beautiful why can't we die like that? Do we really need to stretch death so much? What happened to the good old fashioned way of dying warm in your bed?
