Death · 12:05am Apr 19th, 2015
Today, my fine ladies and gents, we're going to talk about that 'ole inevitability that is death. No witticisms, no off-the-wall comedy, just some srs bisniz.
Death is utterly terrifying as a concept. Nothingness is, for me, perhaps the most horrific thing in existence. Non-existence is so alien, so utterly incomprehensible, that it's outright impossible to imagine. Perhaps that's why we put a face to death, to help understand , to rationalise the idea.
I sincerely hope that I never have to take the one way trip to the other side, perhaps we will develop technology in my life-time that would, if not outright prevent death, make it much less of a threat. However, faith cannot be put in such ideas, and so it is wise to accept that that someday, somewhere, you're gonna die and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it.
And that's why, I think, it's utterly ridiculous to live in fear of it. The concept is terrifying, yes, but it's gonna happen at some point it's best to make peace with it and enjoy as long as you've got to the best of your ability. Always fight for one last breath, for one last heart-beat, cus you aren't getting a do-over.
I don't fear death because, well, when you're dead you're not gonna care that you've kicked the bucket and you're currently pushing daisies. Best to enjoy life while you've got it than dwell on death.
Yeah, I get morbid when it's one in the morning and I'm coming down from a caffeine high, apologies if this post's a bit long and rambly; have a webcomic.
That comic tho...
