Realizing mortality

then play on

i had an interesting conversation with a few people that shall remain namless on what they thought about life, its a bit of a random and morbid topic to talk about for a first blog, but no one really realizes the importance. Call me masochistic but the most interesting people to talk to about life and death are believe it or not are goths if you don’t believe me read this quote

“Goths don’t identify with evil, we
mourn the evil in society. The
fascination with death is basically
a reminder to us of our own mortality.
For these reasons, we wear black.”

Now compare them to other people that refuses to acknowledge their own mortality, just because one sees death around them does not mean they should not believe it won’t happen to them.( do not lie to me that we have all felt like that before);

However do not misunderstand me, i am not saying that you should live your life mourning for you impending doom(graphic isn’t it?), what i am saying is actually the opposit i want you to embrace it because life is short isnt it? don’t play it too safe, don’t be afraid to love, don’t worry about the things which come and go because you are coming and going. Do you want to live your last days regreting things you never did because i don’t!!!

And to those that have lost someone special through death or some type of separation( yes dear wifey i have you in mind) i wish i could give some comforting words but at times like these, things are better left unsaid. I want you to think of the happy times together, no they won’t stop you from crying but they will help and please, please mourn in whichever way you think appropriate because it shows your appreciation for that person.

So here is my first post to you that wants to read it, and remember que sera, sera
