Death itself is not a bad thing. But pain, cruelty and violence are. Death seems negative because of them. It's associated with them. They're in it together. Death & Co. But death can be the escape from that. Unless the process of dying, that moment when life becomes something else, when it leaves your body, is the most painful thing you'll ever experience. I can't know how death feels like since I'm still alive. But I hope it's good. It must be. Or it should. Conception usually feels good, but not for the raped. You'd hope that the moment when one cell bumps into another and they start blending, you'd hope that the process feels good for them. But it could also be painful. The sacrifice they make for life. Nature seems to need painful death in order to make room for the living. Survival of the fittest and all that crap. For anything positive you need something negative in order to make it work, right? Maybe this is the basic rule of life. + and - ions, electricity, ying and yang, good and evil, black and white, light and dark, red and green. Opposites *must* attract. Although cloning is also possible. I wonder what nature thinks about that. I now understand better the fascination with sex and death in art. One is thought to be pleasurable, the other, its opposite, painful. (I already knew one creates life while the other takes it away.) Our ancestors must've known something we don't when they made human (and animal) sacrifices. An overpopulated planet seems like a sure way to doom. Too much life will lead to a huge death. Summer and winter. Autumn and spring. The bubble will burst. I wonder what will come out of it. Hopefully no humans. Just fresh oxygen.
