tinhuvielI've been thinking about its inevitability these past few days. Do others look in the mirror and state out loud "Someday, you will be dead, and there's nothing you can do about it" to their reflection? Every once in a while, I do that. I'm not afraid of death or dying. Some methods of dying make me uncomfortable. I don't want to burn to death or be tortured to death. I often think of cheating Fate and taking myself out, not because I'm suicidal but because I have control issues, and death doesn't allow for you to be in control.
Honestly, I think that people just go through life completely unaware that they are going to die. It's not up for debate. Death is going to happen to every last one of us and there is nothing any of us can do about it. Maybe it's a defense mechanism that we don't dwell on the fact that not only are we just going to die, but we are all in the active process of dying every single minute of every single day. It's sort of a mood killer and I can see where thinking about dying all the time may throw a wrench in one's daily activities. But I can't help but ponder it sometimes.
