We all will go eventually, our time will come. It is sadly inevitable, travelling through on an evolutionary timeline,it's universal, an equalizer, one of the few absolute inevitabilities about the experience of being human, utterly unavoidable. It's always a bit of a shock, tinged with heartbreak and tragedy, especially when it's someone we actually know..
The late great Charles Bukowski once said " We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each another, but it doesn't . We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing."
So, we shouldn't waste our time, while we are still here, we should make the most of it, while we have the chance, and it is still rife, We will all experience emotions of empathy and sorrow, unless your a sociopath that is, so best to embrace the beauty of the world, Try to end the suffering of the world, so at least when we have gone, we might contribute a little to a brighter future.
I have thought and pondered about death a lot, it is I guess equally both a blessing and a curse, can inspire both fear and gratitude, at this moment in time I'm so glad that I'm awake and hopefully see tomorrow's sunrise.
Some believe in higher powers or the gift of reincarnation. Some dream of immortality. But at the end of the day life is a terminal condition. The bad news is Death, The bad news is you are going to die. I'm going to die. We are all going to die from something. Whether it be cancer, a heart attack, a stroke, the flu, diabetes, alzhheimer's disease, war, poverty, hunger, by your own design or simply by accident.
So in the meantime I hope all can find some kind of peace in this extraordinary thing we call life. It's so easy to become blinded and complacent as we travel through lifes precarious walkways. Reject comfort zones ,keep on pushing boundaries and try and keep following the precious paths of mutual aid, laden with solidarity and love.
