Death Doesn't Vindicate

Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy there deaths are seen as a symbol of freedom and peace something the united states look up to....but the truth is death doesn't vindicate...it may have been good for the country but it wasn't for lincoln and kennedy....if u have a chance to ask Abraham or John if they like been shot in the head they'll probably say no.....the tragic truth is they were robbed of their futures....and the possibilities that lay within it...their lives will never be replaced....if they could achieve so much within such a short period of time imagine how much they would have been able to achieve if their lives weren't taken away from them....Death doesn't vindicate!!!! Another example is martin luther king jr.....he was shot,his death symbolizes freedom,peace and beginning of a new era for black americans and in some ways the other minorities in the states,he's death is celebrated,he is seen as a hero but his death was tragic.....imagine what he would have gone on to achieve if he had lived longer.....my mom views this whole thing differently she believes it's better to live a short and fulfilled life which will impact and change peoples lives....than to live a long and empty one she cites Jesus christ as an example. Fair enough. But this people,heroes if u like,mentioned above,dint live empty lives they impacted knowledge on people and radically changed a lot of people's lives,while they were still alive.....imagine what they would and could have gone on to achieve. To be honest I think death is an easy way out....if u live a short and fulfilled life and get killed u r celebrated and called a hero......the question here is what if u don't die....what if u live on, would u have continued in the same way. The truth's people change,most people stop when they no longer have any motivation most people are driven by specific needs.....when they get it or even close to it they stop!..... Nelson Mandela is a hero.......and also a prime example of why death doesn't vindicate.....he is alive to see everything he labored for......if he was killed he would have been celebrated as a hero but he couldn't have done as much for south africa as he has done now......death doesn't vindicate......my aunty died 2 years ago.....she is celebrated by her friends and family but the harsh reality is,she left seven children behind with a dead beat husband....she worked her whole life for those kids.....the last one is in her 3rd year in college.....Death doesn't vindicate!....
