Death.

I find death a really interesting topic to broach. Today, we shall talk about how people try all means and ways to avoid death.

I find it both funny and sad that people try to avoid death so diligently. Each day, I see more and more articles about how people should avoid eating this and that, doing this and that just to avoid death. The fact is no matter how we all try so hard to avoid death, you will never be able to avoid it. You'll only probably be able to avoid it for another few years and you'll still die eventually. We all have to face death, whether or not you like it.

One could be diligently avoiding early death by eating vegetables daily or just eating really really healthy food. But what happens when you choke on those healthy food one day? What happens when you just die anyway?

One could be diligently avoiding early death by never stepping out of his/her house so that he/she will never die via a traffic accident. But what if, what if an earthquake happens and claims your life anyway?

One could be diligently avoiding death by doing all the right things. Not smoking, not drinking, eating healthy... But what if, what if one day you are diagnosed with an incurable cancer/ terminal disease anyway?

The truth is... No matter how hard we try to prevent it or how hard we try to avoid dying early, it will never happen. What has to come will always come. We can never avoid things like that.

So why not we just do whatever we like, enjoy life to its fullest and fulfill each and every of your dream? Why not make life fulfilling rather than stay and be a slave to life and death?

Toodles.
