Death no one gets out alive

[El Kabong]

Always had a hard time believing a person just 'ends'. Know what I mean. The mind heart and soul of an individual cannot simply be tethered to heartbeat. Death observed has to be a factor in how we perceive it upon ourselves? The eventuality of it and randomness can mess with you overthinking it. A 10 year old dies of cancer and a 90 year old dies when some drunk crosses into oncoming traffic. That's just messed up.

If it just ends then it just ends...what is a person going to do about it?

If it doesn't just end then it doesn't just end....what is a person to do about it?


All we can do is live the lives we are blessed to live today

I agree with Brock. You have to accept the melancholy and there is nothing wrong or morbid and natural about it. It is genuine and real. To pretend all is fine and dandy is just self deception.

[Gandalf]

unnatural. it is a normal feeling. healthy and good.

Fear no more the heat o' the sun;
Nor the furious winter's rages,
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney sweepers come to dust.

Fear no more the frown of the great,
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke:
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dread thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come near thee!
Quiet consummation have;
And renowned be thy grave!

I don’t know if it would be stranger if this life went on forever. I get very tired sometimes the immortal thing would be very strange and thinking about working forever is a horrible thought

If I was immortal I don't think I would be working. It would be a very strange place if everyone was immortal.

Ya I was thinking that but if we were immortal and everything else remained as it was ie paying bills, buying food etc we would need to do something

Crazy thing is it's the ones who remain that have to decide both. I don't mean not ending in some spiritual sense so much as a person being such a potential force while here, that whole living the life thing.

Also circumstances of a death. Watching someone die slow is a gut punch. You relive the entirety of their life at the same time you're just wanting to say goodbye for their sake. Man what a cheery thread .

bottom line..embrace the day. There are no guarantees.
