If there is a reality that is inevitable - it is death. Leaders or not, rich or poor, people die. This Saturday, the one who died is North Korean Leader, Kim Jong IL, 69 years old. He was the leader of North Korea since 1994 and ruled 23 million people. Now that he has died, North Korea faces uncertain future according to CNN analyst. Kim Jong Un, 27 or 28 years old, youngest son of Kim Jong IL is seen as the most likely successor.
An elderly leader to be replaced by a 28 year old and a political novice.
Han Sung Joo, Former South Korean Ambassador to US was interviewed. When asked as to whether the age factor will play in the uncertainty of North Korea's future he commented that when Kim Jong IL began he too was young so the youth of his son, Kim Jong Un, being 28 years young, is not necessarily a negative factor.
CNN describes Kim Jong IL as difficult to decipher. He loved fine wine, a cinematic genius. He loved his people to dance so the mass dances of North Korean were awesome to watch on tv. He met with Japanese Prime Minister and South Korean leader and this was an achievement nobody could deny. Beijing, China according to Stan Grant of CNN spoke well of Kim Jong IL being its strong ally.
For us who are looking in, we include in our analysis the aspect of death that each of us will sooner or later face ourselves. Do we have successors we have prepared to follow our footsteps? Will the days after one's life matter the most or is it the way you go and how you will face your Maker that is most vital and nothing else matters other than this. As an elderly it is indeed the way you go and how you will face the Maker and Judge who will take the most vital, pivotal state and nothing else. This alone brings us back to what life is for the way you live will more or less determine the way you die.
