The American pathologist, Jack Kevorkian, dubbed "Doctor Death" for helping dozens of terminally-ill people to commit suicide, died today at the age of 83 in a Michigan hospital.
The Cabala explains, Life is limited to words because life is spoken by the soul into the human being at birth and when we finish speaking our words into the world, we die. Some say committing suicide is worse than murder because a murderer can still repent.
But, it is the pain of life that drives us to suicide, begging death to come and cut the cord to life; all bow down to death because nothing can stand before death. In some instances, death is the most compassionate of all options; death is the final arbitrator of pain.
Dr. Kevorkian took a stand to make a point but he did not respect the dead, dumping bodies without regard to the soul because he only saw the physical pain. The Midrash-Book of Metaphor explains, Spiritual pain knows no boundaries and goes on forever.
The Talmud-Book of Metaphor says, Pain in the next world far exceeds pain in this world by sixty fold. The responsibility of society, and particularly of doctors, is to lessen the pain so the soul can ascend pure, and not a moment before our destined conclusion of life.
