To be or not to be? You know, that really is the big question, right: whether one should think that it's better to go along getting fucked by life or whether the best way to fight back against life, outrageous as it is, is to end it? That's... Heavy. Death. We don't like thinking about death, but really, is it anything more than going to sleep? A really good sleep, right? Ending all the pain, the suffering? Because life, as the Buddha says, is suffering. Hell, getting past that, getting over pain... who wouldn't wish that? That's better than sex, right? So why not just slip off to sleep? Why not just dream into oblivion? To dream. Fuck. That's the issue, right? Is death a nightmare? And so we keep on living. We keep on trudging forward because we're scared little children looking ahead to a sleep which might not be sweet. Why else? Why the fuck would you go on putting up with even the suffering that is natural with the simple passage of time, right? And that's not factoring in oppression, assholes, heartbreak, dealing with the law, and goddamn it, how good things keep happening to bad people. Why put up with that shit when you can stop life so simply? Who wouldn't, except... Death. Nobody knows. Nobody comes back to tell us, and that's probably for the best. We're human. We fear the unknown. We fear change. We would rather suffer than jump head-first into dark water. Fucking humans. We sit and we think these things and meanwhile there's shit to do which must be done. And we let our thoughts run in circles and our fears overshadow all of our lives until we're paralyzed, and then we die anyway. I don't really have a button to end this on. Someone's coming in. Closing for now.
