I can imagine how weird the title is. I can imagine you just stumbling on a random post on the internet or a blog post and you seeing the topic as “death”, WTF; I know that would be your reaction, well for most people anyway. I wonder why death is a topic people shy away from so much, both to read and learn about. People just inherently hate that consciousness that everything they love would go away or they would go away and leave everything they love behind, they don’t want to come to the realization that, IT IS REALITY. Death is inevitable. Now I’m not saying you should embrace it, well, in a way, you should. All I’m saying is you need to bring yourself to the notion that all good things have an end, as well as bad things anyway, you know if you are kind of a bummer.

I have come to learn in my life that one hasn’t lived if they haven’t nearly died. Lots of artists and creative, talk fondly about how alive they feel after a near-death experience. One that I seem to always remember is Mark. He went on to the edge of a cliff even though he was scared out of his body; he sat and put his legs across. A passerby asked, “are you okay”? And I think his response was; “I have never felt more alive” or something like that. My point is, if you remind yourself of that inevitable phenomenon, death, you might start living, not might even, you will. You will start being more grateful for all you have and are, you will start enjoying and cherishing your relationships and people around you. Well, for cowards like me, I don’t want a near-death experience, no thank you very much. I try to remind myself by watching documentaries on how people lost their lives impromptu. I read biographies of people who lost their lives fighting for a course and trying to effect change in the world. I know someone who reads obituaries. The thing is, realizing that basic and inevitable fact of life that you will one day die and everything and everyone you love will, either before or after you, and nothing will matter helps to put things into perspective.

I wonder why people get afraid of death. Personally, for me, that’s the beautiful gift about life, you live and do everything knowing that it could possibly be the last time – you might as well put your heart into it and do what you love. You eat that meal and it might be your last, you hug that friend and it might be you’re the last. I saw a movie the other day; this man was living with the pain and guilt that he caused the death of his wife and two kids. He had an argument with his wife before she left with the kids on vacation. Due to the argument, the man forgot to tell his wife that the car she intends driving had an issue with its break, she died in a ghastly accident with the young innocent kids.

I really don’t mean to bore you or make everything or gloomy but know and accept the uncomfortable truth as they call it. Live, laugh, love, connect, meditate, clean up. Life is also a gift. Just BE.

No doubt "Death" is a thing people not want to talk about but always so curious about. A weird but Powerful Topic.
