Ever had your mother become so sad at the notion that you could die during or after childbirth? That's what happened with my mom. Oh mother, you really need to relax. I mean, what are the chances that what you say will come true just because you had a friend who had almost undergone such a capricious fate? I'm not as convinced that I'll die so suddenly. But mothers have an uncanny way of being able to tell if something will tend to happen or not. I'm personally made sure that I won't die in such an uneventful manner. I'd rather die old and in my sleep. Still, one can never tell what the future holds, merely what path you intend to trek on your way down. Makes me wonder what all the possibilities my life can go through. I'll never know till I live it, and I'll never fully figure-out who I am until I walk down a path that can only be mine. There's no denying that tragic things COULD happen, but I'd rather not dampen your spirits if I start talking about the endless cycle that it life and death.
Still, there's no end to my babble if I keep discussing why my life is as weird as anybody else's. There's no reason to see why life and death are all a matter of perspective, for life cannot go on without death, and death would not exist without life. There's no reason to see why everything is connected the way they are. It's just the way things have always been. Those who have seen death or have a life riddled with death tend to suffer alot, and so those who have seen life at it bravest and boldest will often be shocked at the notion that death can sweep them away at any moment. But not me. As I have grown from a small child to a full-fledged adult, I have come to realize the importance of both aspects of life, even though death is always labelled as the 'criminal' while like is seen as the 'victim'.
First and foremost, I would like to say that there's nothing wrong with seeing the patterns of existence in this way. Death is often blamed as the bad guy, while life is considered the 'good' side of everything. But just as light cannot stand without the darkness, life and death can never be separated. They fundamentally intertwined with each other's destinies, and there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it. It is merely the status quo of the nature of the cycle. But I suppose while we're all alive and well, it's best to seize the joyous occasion that is life, even though death is always right behind every step of the way.
