O, Death
WE ALL FEAR DYING. BUT AS WELL WE FEAR WHEN SOMEONE IS BEING BORN OR IS BEING ANGRY. ALL “FEARFUL” PROCESSES, SOME ARE BEGINNING, OTHERS ARE ENDS. BUT END OF WHAT? END OF BEING? END OF EARTH’S PATH? END OF PHYSICAL LIFE? END OF YOUR PERSONALITY? END OF EVERYTHING, PERHAPS? AT SOME POINT WE ALL BECOME AWARE THAT WE ARE GOING TO DIE. NO MATTER WHAT, OUR LIFE HAS AN END. AND WE ALL KNOW THAT. SO WHAT DO WE DO? HOW DO WE LIVE IT WHEN WE KNOW SUCH THING? DO WE EVEN THINK OF IT? NO, WE START TO LIVE WITH IT THE WAY WE LIVE WITH OTHER THINGS WHICH SCARE US WHEN WE THINK OF THEM. WE GO ON JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT KNOW THE EXACT TIME WE DIE AND OF COURSE WE THINK THAT OUR LIFE WILL BE LONG. AND HOW COULD WE? I MEAN, DEATH IS DIFFERENT. IT IS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING ELSE. IT AIN’T JUST SOMETHING BAD THAT COULD HAPPEN TO US. IT’S THE LAST THING THAT HAPPENS. IT’S THE END OF EVERYTHING. DO YOU THINK OF THAT? OR DO YOU JUST FEAR AND IGNORE IT? WHEN THINKING OF DEATH (THE END OF YOUR PATH) FROM TIME TO TIME IF NOT EVERY DAY, YOUR LIFE SHARPENS, YOUR THOUGHT BECOMES CLEAR AS ICE, YOU FEEL YOUR LIMBS TILL THE END OF EVERY NAIL AND HAIR, YOU FEEL YOUR BRAIN REALLY MOVING ALONG. YOU CHANGE THE PERSPECTIVE OF HOW YOU SEE THINGS. YOU REALIZE A LOT: WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE, WHAT’S IMPORTANT IN LIFE ON THE WHOLE AND WHAT TO FIGHT FOR. YOU TRULY FEEL THE LIFE THE WAY YOU FELT IT WHEN YOU FIRST REALIZED HOW SHORT IT IS. YOU BECOME MOTIVATED. YOU KNOW YOU DON’T HAVE TIME. IT’S GETTING LATE. IT MAY BE YOUR LAST DAY, YOUR LAST WEEK AROUND. AND YOU START TO FEEL SQUEEZED. BUT WHO FEELS THE MOST SQUEEZED THOUGH? YES, IT IS SAD, BUT IT’S THE PEOPLE WITH DEATH DIAGNOSIS. THEY FEEL THE THING THAT YOU SHOULD FEEL EVERY DAY. THEY ALL HAVE THIS ONE THOUGHT THAT THEY HAVE NO TIME LEFT AND REALIZE THEY SHOULD START DOING THE THINGS THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO. WE SHOULD ALL LIVE THAT EVERY DAY. WHY WAITING FOR THE ANSWER OF THE SACRED QUESTION “WHEN AM I GOING TO DIE?”? WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT WE ARE HERE FOR A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO GET DEATH DIAGNOSIS (TO KNOW WHEN EXACTLY WILL WE DIE) IN ORDER TO START FULFILLING OUR DREAMS.
