Death comes to us all
One of my lunch topics this week was about the one sure thing in life - death. Yes, you are going to die someday.
I remember as a kid, once it occured to me that I was going to die someday and then be gnawed by countless worms among other parasites, and tears just started to flow.. At some point when I grew a little older, I sometimes wished I were a rock so that I didn't have to live or die.. During some truly frustrating times as a young adult, I even yearned for death as release to end this taxing rollercoaster ride known as life..
Anyway, do you have any idea how your death is to be 'processed'? That was what my colleague asked when I revealed my religionless nature. Cremation? Burial? What kind of wake? Rituals? After giving it some thought, I decided that my permanent absence shall be celebrated as a joyous occasion. Regardless of what awaits; to gaze down from heaven, look up from the abyss or as a visiting spirit, I would never want to see a group gathering to mope around my remains.
Until that day, let's live life to the fullest. Cheers.
