Let's Talk About...Death

Death. Even the very word strikes fear and sadness into people. Many people are so afraid of dying that they would do anything to get away from death..take drugs..go thru surgeries..all kinds of stupid crap just to keep living. Many people fear death and even the mere mention of the word is like a taboo for certain people. Many people avoid even talking about death because they regard it as one of those touchy subjects and something so sinister. Bones, skeletons, both related to death and seen as something bad. Even evil for some.

Now...what do I think of death? I think death can be beautiful. I don't think it's always dark like most people think. I think of death as the closing, the curtain call, the grand finale to a person's life. I even think of death as a nice and merciful thing for some people. A final sleep or rest. Do I fear death? No. Because whenever my death may come I welcome it with open arms. If I have to die and it's my fate, I'm content with it. Although I do think people really have taken it to the extreme. People even go so far as to fear death and create a little afterlife. A heaven. People just don't want to face the reality that there's probably nothing there waiting for you. If you think there's an afterlife, well let it be. Believe whatever feels right to you. I just think people need to open their minds and think on a scale of actual reality. Back on to topic. I think death can be taken in many ways. It can be sad and sinister or happy and beautiful at the same time. It's something that most of us don't take enough time to think about or acknowledge. Think. And maybe you'll see that death isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's just another part of life that we all face eventually one way or another.

"Death is only a chapter
So let's rip out the pages of yesterday
Death is only a horizon
And I'm ready for my sun...
I'm ready for my sun to set"
