For the past year or so, my entire outlook on life has changed incredibly (because of my philosophy on life and human nature and all, which I decided to believe in before that). I realized how great life can be, and how natural and healthy death is. It really is too stigmatized, feared and outright ignored in this society. Death doesn't seem to matter until it happens, after which it's nice to mourn about because it makes everyone just such a decent human being. But I don't get it. Death is the close of life, which means it's either the end of sufferring or the conclusion to a great story. Even the best stories have an end.
I also saw the inherent hypocrisy in the values of our society. Nothing is as inalienable as the power of free will, but death is far too dismal do ever allow someone to choose to commit to. Starve yourself on low carbs, stuff your face with this great-tasting junkfood, sit behind the desk 10 hours for money, watch TV six hours a day, but don't you dare pursue death! It's better to live death than it is to die.
We can't help it that we were born, at least let us control our life and when it will end.
.... other than that my day was horriable.. iam only living confident my gerbil terasota died today .. i guess thats what got me thinking. i always spoke to her outloud it was the only time i got to hear my own voice... i dont speak outloud to often if i can avoid it. terasota will deeply be missed. when she died she took a peice of my heart with her.
r.i.p. terasota.
iam not in the greatest state of mind at the moment..
is any one out there ..........
