We all know it's a morbid topic. Whenever the word is mentioned faces drain of their color. People stop speaking. Dreading your next words. They think about all the people they love and wonder, 'who could it be and why?'
Nobody ever talks about it in a light, care-free attitude. Except maybe me and a select few of others. Well, guess what? Everybody dies. People need to except that and move on. I have. One day I'm going to grow old and die. Or maybe I won't. Maybe I'll die young. Who knows?
Death is one of my favorite topics to talk about. Mostly because it's just so interesting. You've got mystery and intrigue and of course psychology and irony all thrown together.
Mystery. Well, thats an easy one. Obviously, have you ever watched Law and order? NCIS? CSI? Then you should know. If someone dies under suspicious circumstances well you've got a mystery on your hands don't you Sherlock? Then of course intrigue runs along hand in hand with mystery.
Next on the list we've got pyschology. 'What does pyschology have to do with death?' You might ask. Well, here's your answer. People's responses and of course attitude towards the topic itself. How many people really want to talk about it besides me and my history teacher? Not many. Do you know why? Maybe you do, maybe you don't but no matter what your answer is I'm going to tell you anyway. It's because they don't want to except that one day it's going to happen to them. Death. People like to think they're invincible and that's what usually gets them killed. Take a look at the Kennedys. They thought they were invincible. They did things because they could and they didn't think about the consequences.
Last but not least we have irony. Another good one. Death can be a very ironic thing. I remeber reading a story in eighth grade english. when the story was over I was the only one laughing. It's during a war. It doesn't really matter which war. I don't even remember anyway. Moving on. Anyway, so this war splits up families. Brother fighting brother and all that.
So this sniper is sitting on a roof, scoping out the area. Then, what does he see? But another sniper on the roof opposite him. They play the waiting game. Sniper number 1 ends up killing sniper number 2. Sniper 1 deicdes to take a risk and take a look at the body. He wants to find out who this guy was.
Sniper 1 goes over, lifts up the guys helmet and discovers....it's his own brother! How ironic is that. I was laughing my a** off! It was funny! I still think it's funny and strangely ironic.
So theres my rant on death. Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn't then go suck a fat one. Any comments on this rather controversial issue than please feel free to post a comment on this post or PM me. Either is fine.
Untill Next Time,
