Of life and death.

Of Life
What’s life? Some say that life is existence - if you exist, you live. This is not true. If one exists that does not necessarily means he lives. To be alive one has to feel – to feel love, hate, desire, disgust… To be alive one has to have aim in life, something that gives sense to his existence. Only then one is truly alive. And when one is truly alive, he must learn to live freely. What do I mean? I will explain. There is only one thing which can hold people back and that thing is fear. And all our fears are the same, because the only thing men fear is death… everything else can be overcome. And why we fear death? Because we do not understand it. But one should remember that his life is slipping away with every second. From the day one was born he is dying. Life is nothing more than a word used to replace ‘dying’. Every second brings us closer to the end… But this should not sound pessimistic! That’s the way things are and we cannot change them. One can only accept them and only then one would live freely. And if one has lived for real and he was free – then, maybe, he has fulfilled his task in this world.

Of Death
What’s death? Some would say that death is a complete nothing – total darkness and emptiness. I would say that death is nothing more than a lack consciousness and memories. Death is like a deep sleep from which one never wakes up. Does it hurt? I doubt you even feel something… But what bothers my mind is whether one dreams in death. Sounds crazy but just think about it. This would be a world of your own, a perfect world in which one can live forever. This could be a world of magic, honour and valour - things forgotten in the real world. There one would be able to find his love ones and everything ever desired. And because one is no longer alive the real world does not exist anymore - the dream world becomes reality. Thus one lives forever – a whole eternity which suits one best. And if death is like that I dare to say it won’t be that bad…

Whether I am right or wrong I do not know. One day, like all people I shall find out. But even though I am dying, this day is far away… and still I live.
