As per Hinduism, losing one's children or living forever away from them is the worst kind of sorrow/ Never give your parents that sorrow by properly maintaining your health/ But, if God uses some other tactics to snatch your life for some reason/ Then, that God alone is to blame and we can be peaceful/ God's inscrutable laws finish some lives in a short span and do we call it as fate?
