Life and Death [by profelipe]
People in the western world , avoid thinking about death as if it were somehow guarantee immortality.
“Thinking about death, far from being a morbid attitude, helps us to live better.” *
Death is a certainty. It can happen anytime.
If a person knew that those were the last days of her life, she probably would act differently with family and friends. She would value more quotidian details of her own life.
The rush of day-to -day is used as an excuse to not to think about life. Escaping reflection does not mean that death will not come. It can hardly be the answer.
Problematize life may also not lead to a solution. However, the knowledge helps to make better choices in the here and now. It avoids regrets.
Making mistakes in the present and suffering in the future because of this error it means wasting life time twice. This time does not repeat. As it was said by The Rolling Stones, “time waits for no one.”
Life is one and it is here and now. Therefore, it should be fun and enjoyable.
