The Grim Reaper – Angel of Death or Just Bad PR
We have all heard of the Grim Reaper. In English, Death is often given the name Grim Reaper and since the 15th century, he has come to be a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. He is also known as the Angel of Death thanks to the Hebrew Bible.
Whatever you call death, he gets a bad rap in every religion, every culture. And yes, we all understand in some parts of the world he is actually a she (whatever sharpens your scythe). He is the evil, demonic figure that appears to you at your time of death to take your soul to the gates of heaven or the gates of hell. Everyone fears the Reaper, despite what the song may tell you. Come on, you remember the song, "Don't Fear the Reaper"? Or were you sipping too much from that kool aid bong? But I must question why does everyone fear the Reaper? Why does everyone perceive him or her as the ultimate evil demonic character that causes our life to end? Why do people from all over the world blame him for their untimely death? Is death ever timely? Come on people let's grow up a little and think about this. If the Grim Reaper had a good PR agent, his image would not be so bad. Let me explain.
First, the Reaper is an Angel of God, a dark angel but none the less, an angel of God. God selected this angel to harvest the souls of individuals. He didn't want this job in the first place but he took it for 3 reasons: 1) it pays well, 2) the benefits are great (come on people, wouldn't you just love to harvest the soul of Kristen Stewart or Taylor Lautner?) and 3) you just don't say No to God. So let's get this straight, the Angel of Death did not apply for this job, he was chosen by God.
Second point is the Reaper is just doing his job. He doesn't determine when you die. That's God's job. God is the one writing up the Reaper's "To Do" list for the day. The Reaper is just following orders. So if anyone is the bad guy here its God not the Reaper. God knows what a horrific job it is, that's why he hired the Dark Angel to do it. God couldn't afford this type of bad press because he was to busy causing floods and pestilence on this earth. I wonder what he was doing to other planets? Well, if you look at history, God has kept the Reaper very busy. Remember, the Reaper is just checking off his "To Do" list items.
I say we need to start focusing our energy on what a great job the Grim Reaper is doing. He gets great jobs reviews. And look who he is working for, God is 100 times harder on his employees than Donald Trump. He has kept his job for thousands of years. Can you say that? So let's give the Grim Reaper the respect and credit he deserves and cast him in the correct light, a hard working employee doing a great job for a very tough boss. I hope you can come to appreciate the Grim Reaper like I have. May you be harvested kindly and enjoy your next life!
