You Will Die One Day

"Something everyone forgets is that everything they know will get sucked down into a black tube and everything will disappear. I was only reminded of it just now, but it was after weeks and maybe months of not thinking about death. It was a post on reddit about someone's dad who recently passed away, and they shared an old photograph. In the photo, the man was handsome, with long blonde hair, playing an old Nintendo. He seemed like a nice man, judging only from the photo. And by the description, it was implied that this man died younger than he should have.

Think of a person you knew that died from a long time ago. And... You recovered from your grief. And maybe you don't even think about that person very often anymore, no matter how meaningful they once were to you. I don't really think about my grandparents anymore, even though they were even people inside the same world I was in, with conscious minds and likes, dislikes, and surely they shared the thing which everyone has, the unwavering beam of light inside them. The thing behind their smiles that I only feel true empathy around when I think slowly and consider the idea that I'm not the only human being with a beam of light.

For someone more detached from the dying, it's no big deal, people die all the time. But to the person dying, it's the deepest and darkest thing. It's everyone's own personal black hole waiting in the peripheral view, in the background, growing. " said Keith with a voice soaked in sadness.

"Wow..... Keith.... that was so deep" said the t a l k i n g z o m b i e o s t r i c h
