Whenever you ask a person what their fears are, death is almost
guaranteed to be said at some point. Anyone could agree, even
highly religious people convinced they have a path paved with
gold straight to Heaven. Death comes in many forms. There's
homicide, where one individual is tragically murdered by another.
There's suicide, where somebody is so depressed or stuck that
they feel the need to escape permanently. There's accidental
deaths, such as somebody getting hit by a car or falling off a
tall ladder and breaking their neck and spine. There's
unpreventable deaths, like miscarriages. There's death by
sickness, like AIDS or cancer. The point is, although logical,
being afraid of something you can't stop is a little silly. Of
course, with the big mystery of Heaven or Hell, or limbo,or
reincarnation, people are a little concered about their
post-death whereabouts. Whatever way you die doesn't matter. What
matters is that you live this life you are blessed with while you
still can. Enjoy the simple things. Run your feet through the
sand at the beach. Build a snowman. Frolic in the dew-drizzled
grass come springtime. Step on some crunchy leaves when autumn
rolls around. Bake some brownies. Do some cartwheels. Breathe in
deeply, and when you exhale, remember how d//mn lucky you are to
be alive, and promise me that you will live life to its fullest
while you still can.
