Although this was probably a popular choice, I chose to reflect on Shiva, the god of destruction. It is a strong belief in the Hindu religion that in order for something to be born, or re-born, something first has to die. This is where the popular term "When one door opens, another door closes" probably comes from. Shiva is the god who takes and recycles the soul. Shiva is worshiped because a large part of Hindu beliefs is that when you die, your soul is reincarnated, or else enlightened. You live another life, either in a higher rank or a lower one. People can rank as high as enlightenment, or else a royal, and as low as an animal or a poor man. Shiva is the God who takes life away, but also the God who reincarnates the soul.
