The Ironic Merits of Death

by Gasttlee   Jan 8, 2007



Do not fear death
for death is nothing more than a veil of rebirth.

Do not be afraid to say goodbye
for it only means to say until we meet again.

How you live your life defines you in ways you couldn’t imagine,
but it will always make that journey all the more worthwhile.

Death is unpleasant,
but in many ways also a blessing.

Death is as much a release as it is pain
for it fulfills an eternal desire.

You are free from any suffering, difficulties, and concerns.

With our deaths we also leave behind others in the world to pick up where we left off.

To honor all that we have fought for and stood against.

To treasure and care for everything and everyone of value to us.

To stand out and be recognized for whom we are.

To never forget where we came from
and those who were with us every step of the way.

We all will eventually reach that special place, but we have to take it one step at a time
and we must go about it the best way possible.
