Lots of people are afraid of that word. Why the hell would somebody be so scared of a simple word? It's the meaning behind it. People interpret this term each on their own specific way, though I'd like describe the most common ones. I'm not really sure in which one of them I belong in, I think maybe even all of them. The thing about it is that it's something we're not sure about, that's why we're so afraid of it. It is normal to fear the unknown, maybe to even reject the idea of accepting it in your life. We think that accepting something new in our life will cause a big change and we are afraid of changing our life routines. Because otherwise we are lost. We can't go with the flow. And I think that's the main problem here.
Even old Shakespeare wrote about transience in his Halmet and that's the proof how this has been around for a long time. Yet, as we all know, dear Will wasn't a plain and ordinary man. He wrote about the problems of the world in an unusual way that weren't common back in those days, but he did it anyway. Wonder why? Because he knew the truth about life and he accepted it. He accepted the fact that we were born to do something with our life here and then we die and it shouldn't be something to be afraid of. The legendary writer J.K. Rowling wrote in her book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." By that I think she meant that we can dream alright, but it is important that we do something with our lives as well. That's why we're here. To make it worth the while.
Life is complicated, I do not dare to state otherwise. But we are somehow forced by all this media and society to think there are only bad things going on and that nothing good ever comes to you. Of course, that leads to low self-esteem and confidence which keeps all sorts of companies the business going. When there's so much more to life. Life is truly full of so many wonderful things. Like Marilyn Monroe said: "This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
I think what bothers people has much deeper meaning than just a simple fear of death. Many people devote their life to, say, religion or something similar. People do that because they have faith in something more than just what we know. Something beyond. And I support that 100%, even though I am a passionate atheist. I believe in having something to hold onto, even though if that means believing in an almighty man with long white beard that has control over everything. I am up for everything as long as it does not hurt me or the environment. Because people have the full right to comfort themselves in every way the prefer to. It's a free country, hello. Not to mention which century. But yeah, still there are many prejudices coming from that side of population, although a) that is not what I came to discuss here tonight and b) that is very shallow and superficial of me to say since not all of the Christians or Muslims or whatever are those who are so conservative. I am here to discuss what life actually is. Is there anything more to it? Well, as our Physics professor nicely put: imagine a school board. Draw a tiny, microscopic dot. That dot represents all the knowledge of basically everything, it represents what is known today to the human kind. Now imagine that the whole other space on the board left is all the knowledge yet to be either discovered or explored. It's a fun way of imagining the world and how insignificant we actually are. Because the nature and the universe is so much more complex and beautiful and dangerous than we know. And it's everywhere around us and we don't give even the slightest time to stop and notice it.
Nature is always here for us. It provides us with oxygen so we, unworthy beings, can live and keep destroying it. See, the ice on the North pole is melting, as it is widely known to the society. Some scientists say that it can be a completely occurrence while others claim the melting was caused by the human. I see it that way: if the second theory was hypothetically true, that means we, human beings, are destroying our own planet. Our own home. That's freaking weird and stupid, right? So, the human also claims that animals are really dumb and are not aware of their surroundings and their being. While it is actually proven that they are aware of themselves and that they have conscience. Pretty rad, right? Anyway, while we state that the animals are the freaky ones here, let's take a look at the human for a second. I said before that if the second theory is correct, we are actually killing ourselves (well, to be precise, like maybe hundreds of generations ahead of us but yeah you got my point). And to finally overview this situation between the human and animal intelligence: do you think animals would be so fucking stupid to go and poison their own home? Do you? Do you think they'd just keep polluting it, keep cutting those trees down because damn we need paper you know, fuck oxygen and other human beings we share this planet with. Because we are selfish like that. We do not realize what we have until it's too late and that is too damn true. We are only blinding ourselves. Now, I am not here saying this like some eager protestor that things everything else sucks ass, but I am saying that whoever might take time to read this post can think about what he's done for the environment today and what he will do in the future. Because that is all we have got left. People come and go. But the nature will stay here and absorb the consequences of our own stupidity, endeavor to maintain the planet for our own sake. This is what's up with the nature. It will never let you down. But we keep letting it down.
Sometimes I think that we are our own enemies. Not at all times, because I'd like to maintain just that tiny bit of hope in humanity left to look at our future on the bright side. But at other times, I only think what fucktards we've been. How we only dwell on the past and everything. Dalai Lama was once asked what surprises him most about humanity and he answered: "The man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the results being that he does not enjoy the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived." We make up the scary things in our heads and so we are intimidated by them, meaning by ourselves. We don't let life come to us and that's both terrifying and pretty sad. I would never let that happen to me. I know life has put me through some phases when I thought I am not worth going on and I just wanted to give up. But now I look back and I realize that without those experiences I wouldn't be the person I am today, the person I believe in, the person I know can handle much more than she used to. And that's what I appreciate about life: it is full of amazing things, things it puts you through and then makes you remember them and you're grateful it happened. That's what life's all about, not the dying and hurting part. But about bright things that happen every day. Try and start noticing them.
