Death is Waiting for Us
.jpg)
I often talk about death.
People think that it’s weird.
It makes them uncomfortable.
Death just isn’t something that we talk about
at least not in the Western society in which I live.
Here, we ignore death.
We hide from it.
We pretend like it doesn’t exist.
We believe that it’s an abstract concept
that happens to others but not ourselves.

People think that I talk about death because I want to die
and they worry for me.
In reality I talk about death to remind myself
and to remind others
that death is real
and that it’s waiting for us all.
I think that we take our lives for granted.
At least I do.
But there are consequences
of not thinking about death.

When we believe that we will live forever
we never have to ask ourselves
“what is the point.”
We never have to ask ourselves
“what is the point of life,” or
“why am I here.”
Someone who ignores death
doesn’t need to change or improve themselves.
They don't need to make themselves better.
A person who ignores death can be miserable,
mediocre
and mundane.
They can be afraid.

A person who ignores death
can allow their fear to control their life.
They can put off things that they want to do.
Put them off for another time
which ultimately may never come.
However,
when we acknowledges death
and makes it a real possibility,
we can no longer do such things.
We realize that there is no time to be afraid
There is no time to put things off.
No time to wait
because death is waiting for us.
