People are in such a rush. They're in such a hurry to live. And yet so many people are in such a hurry to die. At the same time they're afraid to die. Why do people care about dying? Why do they try to postpone the inevitable? It's going to happen. Even if you live to be three hundred years old you are eventually going to die. There's nothing you can do to stop it. So why do people care? Why do they care that they're going to die? Why does it matter? I understand that people want to enjoy life, but people are dying every day. Every living thing on earth is dying. Every living thing in the universe is dying. It's a never ending thing that we can never escape. People have their beliefs. They have their faith. They believe certain things. They believe in God or they don't but in the end why does any of that matter? I'm a Catholic, so I believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible and all that but I only believe it because I choose to believe it. I believe that it's true. Other people do or don't but we all have the same fate in this life. The same inevitable fate that is death. So why is it so scary? What the heck are people so worked up about? To me that's like when people are afraid of the dark. They can't see so they get afraid. But how many blind people are afraid of the dark? I'd be willing to bet that most of them aren't. And most of them can hear better. I bet that's what death is like. I bet it just makes life easier. Well those are my thoughts on death.
