The Philosophy of Death

Like the Samurai of old, I find death useful to keep myself sane in these trying times. Even with war, poverty, terrorism, racism, and despair on the rise, I keep in mind that nothing last forever. Our happiness will turn to dust while our suffering will pass like leaves in autumn. Nothing, not even the gods can withstand the might of the ultimate reality.

Thus, I made Death a good friend of mine.

Even with all the chaos and peace in the world, it's best to keep your death in mind. Because all living things past, present, and future will meet her. No matter the person, the country, the god, or even the universe, all will die sooner or later. It's best not to worry about preventing your coming death and accept it.

For there are worse things to fear that meeting the Grim Reaper.

It is every living thing goal to survive as long as possible. It is normal and healthy. Yet Death keeps our minds focused and in the moment. For too many people try to escape her by drug abuse, violence, sex, mass media, and even ignoring the end we all must face. As if those things will prevent her coming. Leading to some very horrible situation.

Thus we miss out on the beauty that we may never see again.

Death should scare us into taking responsibility and enjoying life. Kick the people who are hindrance out, explore the world, and do the things that matter most. For in any moment we may not see the next sunrise and take with us nothing but regrets.

Better to meet death as a happy outcast than a miserable sheep.

Life is cruel and can be a living hell. Yet it is also beautiful and full of opportunities. Yes, we are are all going to die no matter what. But knowing the coming of our end will bring the stability we need to make this life worth dying twice.

Thus I keep death close to see the reality of what life truly is.
