On the death of Sean Watson

[mcdanger]

Anyone who's talked to me during this past week has, more than likely, heard me make at least one distasteful comment about the recent deaths at our school. Probably more. I didn't really know either of the kids who died in the car crash, but Sean Watson I was familiar with. Sean was the archetypical unpopular kid; fat, ugly, unsociable, balding.

She's right, that's why a death at such a young age is easily seen as such a travesty. Yet at the same time can still be easily forgotten. At the age of 16, 17, or 18, you've not had enough time to leave your scar on the world. You've been too busy with confining yourself to a room completing math assignments, or in your case chemistry writeups. Too busy sitting in front of a computer writing whiney LiveJournals such as myself. People may spend a lifetime finding acceptance toward themself. Working toward a goal to be remembered as something great. While at the same time questioning "What if I died tomorrow? What mark would I of left in my name?" Most will fail miserably at reaching that goal of becoming something famous. But leaving something behind doesn't have to be a materialistic object such as money, or a story in your case. To leave on a good note. That you were nice to as many people as possible. Leaving them with some kind of mental rememberance of what you were. That is what I strive to one day be able to acheive.

Unfortunatly most of us will pass working a deadend job that we hate, regreting the past, while at the same time married to someone that gets under your skin 24 hours a day. But to say no one will be effected by yours or my death is utter nonsense. I myself would feel more great having one person of whom I think the world of grieve and pay respects toward my passings, rather than one hundred thousand people that meant nothing to me. Though I would not want them to grieve for an eternity. I would want that one person to go on, live their life the way life was meant to be lived. Maybe you yourself have not completed a story or screenplay to your approval, because you have not yet experienced the world to your own fullfilment. Instead of being critical toward everyone, dissect that person. Think of what might actualy make this person who they are. The hardest thing to do for most people is to see things from someone elses perspective. To think maybe their could be a logical psychological/physiological reason to why people have become what they are today.

At that I wish everyone to take a look at theirselves. Is this what we all want to be remembered as? If not, act now. Because you may not be able to act later. Sorry Aaron if that isn't something you wouldn't of wanted to be written to be on your comments. I guess I had to just get that out of myself as well.
