Life and Death
July 16, 2006I came across a line from somebody’s blog. She actually wrote that entry after reading mine. Anyway, I felt compelled to write an entry about it:
“Death is after all, just a part of LIFE.”
So here we go.
I really couldn’t come to terms with this whole death-is-part-of-life thing. Everyone I know believes and/or agrees with it. I, on the other hand, do not.
We celebrate somebody’s life when he dies, yes, but we don’t celebrate his death. If Death is a part of life, shouldn’t it be part of the celebration, too? Of course not! We do not rejoice over somebody’s death unless it was Bin Laden’s or some random pedophile’s. But I digress.
For me, Death is simply separate from Life. It is completely different. After all, Death is the absence of Life, much like darkness is the absence of light. Nobody says that black is part of white. No.
Anyway, I just couldn’t accept it. Life is Life and Death is Death. There’s no gray area. It has always been black and white. It has always been dark and light. And it will always be Life AND Death.
