Life without Death

 'Death', when we hear this word, everyone's mood becomes gloomy and doleful and it is obvious too because when someone was there living in this world with us and suddenly we come to know that we wouldn't be able to see him or communicate with him ever again is certainly tragic. But have you ever had a thought that nature is so powerful that it created 11.3 million diverse species living in every nook and cranny of this planet but still made all of them vanquish someday?  If we look Biologically, death is one of the three parts of life; Birth, Give Birth, Death.

So, which means that we somehow, directly or indirectly acquire knowledge for most of our time. We have evolved in such a way that our brain tries its best to not let any detail or knowledge go to waste.  But the question is, 'why can't we forcefully forget an idea?' The answer is, first of all, our brain has got two subunits, consciousness and subconsciousness. the consciousness...
