A girl I know, found out yesterday that she will be dealing with a very important issue relevant to her health. I'm praying for her health and hope everything will be all right in the end. That's not what I wanna talk about though.
It's not funny how news like these ALWAYS put things into perspective. All other issues seem to fade into unimportance. Nothing else matters. It's life and death. How can anything be more serious than that? Really!
Well... I guess that's true. But that's the thing. THAT whole sentence is true. It's not simply death (or the fear of it approaching or threatening) that's serious and important.
LIFE is important too. In fact more so, I think. I reckon we shouldn't have to worry about death until we get there. Don't get me wrong. This isn't some stupid little post claiming we should forget about death, and how it impacts our everyday lives. We are creatures bound to our lifeline after all.
All I am saying is, LIFE goes on, no matter what happens. And the point, the meaning of our existence is to keep living, and not let death distract us too much.
What I'm trying to say is, death is serious, but we shouldn't spend our whole lives fearing it, expecting it, trying to figure it out, focusing on it. If we do that, we miss that other important part of the equation. We will miss out on living. Living life and figuring LIFE out. And that's no walk in the park.
The good news is we have our whole life trying to learn how to live.
I guess we will also have our whole death time to figure out what dying is all about too.
Fingers crossed however, that THAT comes later rather than sooner.
