First of all, this is my opinion; if the idea bugs you then don't
bother reading. Secondly, I can't believe that this is what I'm doing for my
post, seriously, my second post and I choose DEATH as my topic. Who cares, I'm
doing it. Death obviously is very bad, but it also does some good, I will
explain.
It should be clear to you that I am alive, but like everybody I will
die, could be 75 years from now, I may die before I get through this
sentence...I guess not. I don't think we should fear death, we should fear not
getting to do anything fun, your only options for after you're dead include; decomposing, being cremated, human taxidermy, or being embalmed for thousands
to look at (I'm looking at you Vladimir Lenin). I think the scariest thing
about death is never getting to hold your loved ones again, never getting to
voice an opinion, never getting to enjoy a fine book, nil, zilch, naught, and
nothing.
I think ideas like heaven, reincarnation, and ghosts all deal with death
in different ways. These myths, legends and ideas offer an extension to our very
fragile lives. Humans love to do things, or more they love the option to do
things, a person can waste their life vegetating in front of the television,
but no one would want to be forced to do nothing else. We are curious creatures,
are we not? These concepts of an
afterlife feed into this hatred of confinement, they allow a light to be at the
end of this tunnel, but I however, see no such light. I personally do not
believe in such supernatural ideas. I see them as a gamble and I have no care
in taking part. I think people spend so much time preparing for a next life,
not even guaranteed to exist, that they don’t enjoy the life they're living now.
Think what you will
