What is the next big ... ?

A virus is notorious
but easily overwhelmed by the resources of a bacteria
which is overwhelmed by the complexity of a fungus
which is overwhelmed by the thrust of a single drop of anti-fungal
which is overwhelmed by a splash of water
which is overwhelmed by a room heater
which is overwhelmed by e.m.f of the electric system of the skyscraper
which is overwhelmed by the power-grid of the city
which is overwhelmed by the size of the New York city
which is overwhelmed by a 'tiny' splash of the Atlantic
which is overwhelmed by the 'little' ice cubes of the Arctics
which is overwhelmed by a bright-shine of a sun-storm
which is overwhelmed by the vastness of the sun
which is overwhelmed by the size of a white "Dwarf"
which is overwhelmed by its own galaxy
which is overwhelmed by the number of galaxies in Universe
which is overwhelmed by ... ?

You came closer, by going too far

She was closest to me, but you know, too close.
So years of fume was adding up inside
That time, all I wanted to go far, far away;
and I took my flight, in a rush, in a bright sunny day.
It was then, we, half a planet away from sight
I came to believe in life, and, I had taken a wrong fight.
Each mile, into you and me, acting as a thorn,
and killing my self, grew since I was born.

Now we are part in a far away, far,

Oh, my heart feels closer than ever,
Yer love, why, causing a gloomy tear,
Your silly naggings now music to ma ear
Yeah, mom. You & me are closer than ever,
just like my first six months, or the first two year ...

What should be called 'death' ?

[It's an draft copy, v. 0.2. Totally unwritten sections has been tagged in {...}]

[disclaimer: I am not an surgeon, doctor, ethicist, philosopher, or any sort of expert, and I am a fan but not affiliated with National Geographic Society. Except all quoted from the documentary, all other comments reflect my own current thinking]

I just watched a National Geographic documentary "Moments of death". I am just describing its idea & my thought.

what is death? whom you will call 'dead'?
A man with stopped heart-beat, a man with non-functioning brain, a girl who can't response to any physical/worldly impulsion or a man who is totally out of his mind? Our understanding of the definition or the process of 'being dead' is pushing the boundaries...

Do you acknowledge 'soul'? Why?

The 'simple' physical process of cardio-vascular death is as follows. The heart stops pumping blood, the organs get shut-off one-by-one, at last the brain-cells, being deprived of Oxygen, raise 'panic' alarm, every element of brain-cell start fighting to save own-self and start producing toxic waste enormously, then each cell get self-destroyed.

Now, if you 'shock' back the heart-beating, give external oxygen quick enough, then the brain-cell 'may' stuck in 'somewhere-in-middle'. The patient is now seems breathing, and heart is beating; but he can't sense or response to anything, even you cut-off any organ without anesthesia. Its called 'coma'. In this state, the patient is may be thinking, dreaming, or just 'nothing'. Why not he is dead ?

{ purpose of Germany's 'house of dead' was to avoid live-burial }

{ the case of the girl who totally went out-of-mind and parents wanted to declare her dead }

{ why peoples, 'visited' around death, see light or tunnel of light }

Is 'soul' really exists?
{experience of a 'unconscious-and-tapped-eye' open-heart-surgery patient who saw every steps of his surgery, even his own body and an unusual habit of the surgeon}

{ the medical & ethical boundary of the definition of 'death' }
