| But people who are still alive when you die might hurt because you are gone—and
|
| that is OK
|
| People love other people and usually it hurts when people we love die
|
| We even comfort ourselves with those stories that the dead person is not really
|
| dead—and that is OK too
|
| But of course everyone dies—and you will too
|
| When you say «I want this» or «I feel this» you are talking about yourself
|
| You might think that yourself is different from the rest of the world,
|
| or you might think that you are just a little part of the world
|
| But when you die yourself dies and so does your view of the world
|
| So you won’t have a world or a self or any thoughts about either—it just won’t
|
| exist
|
| When you die you won’t feel sad any more, you won’t worry anymore
|
| You won’t care about anything, or want anything
|
| You won’t be able to enjoy being dead though because you won’t be anything—only
|
| dead
|
| That is why you should love life
|
| There are lots of things in life that seem bad
|
| But, since life only happens once and there is only one you, love life while
|
| you can—no matter what happens
|
| If you feel sad at least you can feel sad
|
| If you are worried at least you can be worried—you exist, you are alive
|
| If you love life this way when it comes time to die you will be happy because
|
| death is the perfect end to life
|
| Life is only good because death ends it
|
| So, live and love life because you don’t even know how, when or why,
|
| but since you’re alive—you're going to die |
