death

Why is death such a slow process? It seems like a cruel thing to know that death is going to be a drawn out process. That nothing is going to come quickly. Then in the event that death appears to come quickly, it is often violent in nature. I caused a death today and was trying to make it quick and painless. But even after all could be done to expediate the process it was still long and drawn out. For all I know the body is still breathing in the ditch. Hope it doesnt crawl home. I wonder if the death process is related to the birth process? Are those who are born quickly and suddenly gifted with a quick and sudden death? And are those who are birthed through a long drawn out labor, destin to have similar death process?

And Ive heard that you can feel a soul leave a body. Didnt get that feeeling this morning. So is the soul still trapped inside the ant filled body out in the ditch?
