Prologue
In life, it's natural to wonder, to think, to give opinions. One of the many things to ponder in life is death. It's a universal thought. I don't think anyone can say that they haven't thought about it before. As I said, it's completely natural to wonder.
When people think about death, they usually think of where they're going to go, heaven or hell. And you can't forget those golden gates among the clouds, with god waiting for you at the entrance. But a lot of people don't think about how they're going to die. They just ignore that one question and they put it in the back of their mind, with the rest of the unwanted questions. They think they don't have to think about it because they immediately assume that they're gonna live a long, happy life. You see, people are so oblivious to the society around them. We look in newspapers, listen to the radio, and watch the news. They see the headlines. Some about murders, car accidents, fatal incidents while on the job. They give sympathy to those families, those people who had lost their lives, and then they continue on with life. We don't think about what it would be like if that happened to us. We think we're too busy to think about death, while we still have a whole life ahead of us. We don't want to waste any time. Though please, I urge you not to think any different, for time is all you have. But one day you may find you have less than you think.
I shouldn't be talking about this without saying that I too was once so ignorant. I had been so caught up with my life, that I forgot the meaning of life. I would tell what had caused me to think differently after all those years, but then I would ruin the whole story I have to tell you. All I can say is that in life, you're gonna fall down, lots of times. you may have wounds, deep gashes, ones that will not let you get up easily. But, with power and fight and bravery inside you, you can turn those wounds into wisdom. You can get up, go against what the world is telling you and you can fight.
You're probably wondering by now, 'what is she trying to get to?' Truthfully, I don't even know what point I'm trying to get across. Maybe that you should live your life to the fullest, enjoy every moment as if it was your last, any of those old cheesy sayings. Just listen to what I have to say. Then you can find out for yourself and make your own opinion. Then maybe I finally can too.
