a/n I really don't know if you'd qualify this as a rant but it sort of is a/n
With the Idea that death won’t come for me on this day, I always leave my home with the thought that I will live till the end of the day, month, year, decade. But recently I realized that despite the thought I had about me pretty much knowing all there is to know about death, I found something new and evermore disturbing. Just yesturday, a boy from my church died in a car accedent. He was 15 and another kid was killed aswell, while the last two were critically injured. The boy I know I cried for. He was only 15 years old. He hasn’t had a chance to really live. I feel terrable.


As people, we all tend to block out that we all die. Some people find it a gross subject, but I think we need to look at it more. We don’t have nine lives. Each breath we take could be our very last. We might not wake up tomarrow. There’s nothing gross about the subject of death, and only we can make it depressing. But why them? Why so young? I just saw him last Sunday, it’s weird to think that you could see someone, then, they’re gone. In five years I guarantee I won’t remember this kid, God, next year I won’t remember him. But the fact is now. Now I realize just how easy it is to die. That’s a frightening thought. It’s just so easy to die. You can die from anything pretty much. You don’t realize that there might not be tomarrow, there might not be another second, yet most of us take time for granted and think it’s an everlasting supply. Well, it isn’t and I hope people start to realize that, and start making the right decisions.

Death.
I have thought alot about death. If its my own or if its someone I know I have thought about it some how. Death is the ending of earthly life. I have come to the conclusion that when I die people will be sad. Its a normal human emotion to greive. The usual way I deal with it is I write storries. I write stories about death alot because its one of those things thats always there. Alot of people think there is alot of time. Well there is alot of time in the spectrum of things its what we do with the time that counts. (I am sure someone has said that down the line.) Death dosn't need talking about constantly because you would never do anything because you could end up dead. So my advice to you is mourn these childrens death. and choose to live your life to the fullest as they say
Carpe Diem

Hi Spooky
Yes, I read your bio. To understand life, we must first understand death, but not to the exclusion of everything else. I don't think I'm saying anything different from Paul, really. There's nothing wrong in questioning death, the injustice of young lives being taken and why society seems to run scared of discussing something so fundamental to our existences, namely its termination.
Be strong, try and see something beautiful every day.
