"Life is a suicide mission"
In the time I don't have, I was reading a book and came across this phrase as a chapter title. It kind of goes with some things I have been thinking about recently and may be posting in the near future. Life is the unending road to death and no matter what choices are made or what roads are not taken, death is still the end result. Only a few people have escaped the inevitable and they lived over 1500 years ago. Death being the end result, the termination of all things, good and bad, the only thing people can do is make the greatest difference possible in the time they have.

1) Frost referance!
ReplyDelete2) "the termination of all things" doesn't sit well with me, as once departed, you aren't fully and completely terminated. The people in the history books are not "terminated", nor are the dead who we so fondly, or not, remember. So is death really the end, or just a new chapter? I'd like to know. Maybe I'll skype my great-grandmother...
death is the end of the conscious effort to make a difference, so in a sense, death is merely a new chapter. the thing is, humans have been trying to escape this chapter for a very long time. that is why people have been trying to extend the lifespan of a human for the longest time
ReplyDeleteDeath sits at your left shoulder, waiting to tap you when it is least convenient. Take a look...
ReplyDeleteThat it does...or is that just my mother...hard to tell.
