This Is How You Deal With Death
Without death, there would be no story.
Without death, there would be no point in worrying about life.
And while this would ease a lot of our troubles it would also make us complacent.
We would take our time for granted and would cease to be grateful for every minute we can spend with someone.
Without death, most things would become everlasting.
We would love less because there would be fewer relationships that we lose forever, we would laugh less because there would be no time limit on creating a happy life and we would find less value in the little things as we would have all the time in the world to create meaning for ourselves.
With all the time in the world, our emotions would dull over time and eventually become non-existent.
Death creates the concept of life because it puts a limit on it all.
When someone around you dies remember that you being able to lose them now was able to create a deeper connection with them before.
The fact that you are feeling sad about their loss shows you how much they meant to you, which is proof that there was a deep connection there!
The same way if you are afraid of your own death it’s a clear sign that you value your own life and that there is something that you find worth living for!
Death is not the enemy, it is not the villain but an integral and necessary part of life! “If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted.” — R. Queen
Without death, without the negatives, without pain, sadness, and fear we would never truly appreciate the things we do have.
Not because they wouldn’t be the same, but because we would begin to take them for granted and they would cease to be special.
And although death hurts, know that without it life would hold a far smaller meaning.
Without an end, the middle would hold no meaning.
