What if there will be no tomorrow?

Postby From the Stars » Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:00 am

I tend to forget about the fact that death is everywhere. Most of us live in a society which sees death as some kind of taboo subject, like it doesn't happen.
But a song by my favourite band made me realise (again. There were quite a few other times in my life when I felt almost the same), how easy it is to die and how fragile life itself is. We live as if we had an unlimited amount of time available, but in fact, we don't even know for sure if we'll wake up the next morning. Seeing the finiteness of life gives a totally new view on everything.
Wow, this sounds quite lofty, right? xD Actually I'm just trying to say that I'm going to try to see life as something precious or at least try to act now and today, not saying "I can do this tomorrow". At least when things are concerned, that might be also important after I have died. Relationships are something like that or organ donation.
Well...

you don't have to read through all that. xD Besides, I'm really really tired, so I guess my English is far from being understandable.

I understand what your saying. There is so much we take for granted. It randomly hits me sometimes that i WILL die someday.

I kow what you're saying. My best friend died when I was in second grade and makes you realize how fragile life is. One moment someone's there... The next they're not...

Thank you, everybody! It's good to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's always terrible to lose someone you love and I was in a similar situation as you were. If something like this happens, you are a different person afterwards. You treat people differently if you realize that they could be gone tomorrow.

I know the feeling of listening to a song and then suddenly realizing that you will die eventually. I guess the fear of death is the only one you can never truly face. But anyhow, this drawing is simply beautiful <3
