As I have come to realize that it is only a part of life.\u00a0 That makes my greater fear… life, itself.\u00a0 I do, however, sometimes fear HOW I will die, not that it is an eventuality that I will die.\u00a0 We are all going to die.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s not how we die that defines us, it’s how we live.<\/p>\n
There are so many diseases that kill.\u00a0 Men and women who kill.\u00a0 Adults, teenagers, and even the older generation.\u00a0 So, why fear death when it’s coming?\u00a0 In death, there will be a certain peace that we may not feel in life.\u00a0 Do not mistake my non fear of death for a desire to die.\u00a0 At least not until I feel like I have lived a full life.\u00a0 I, in fact, feel like my life has only begun.\u00a0 So, with God’s blessing, I will be around to annoy and amuse everybody for many years to come.<\/p>\n
I fear life more.\u00a0 Pain, both emotional and physical, is not something that I, nor anybody, enjoys.\u00a0 LIfe brings joy, pain, happiness, sadness, elation, an desperation.\u00a0\u00a0 We laugh and we cry.\u00a0 We smile and we frown.\u00a0 We do things like drink and take drugs to ease the pain.\u00a0 (Note that not all people who do these activities do it for pain relief but also for pleasure).\u00a0 Life can be easy and it can be difficult.\u00a0 Some of it is brought on by ourselves and some of it is brought on by others.\u00a0 It’s how we deal with it that makes us stronger.\u00a0 And, in this sense, I am a very weak man. I do need to learn to deal with pain and sadness in a way that makes me stronger rather than sulking and telling everybody how sad I am.\u00a0 For this, I am not going to let too many people about my pain.\u00a0 Only my inner circle will ever know.<\/p>\n
If you actually read this blog, you just might be in my inner circle.<\/p>\n
In any case, this is something I have been thinking about today and felt like writing about it is the same sort of therapy as writing poetry.<\/p>\n
I believe that I am now finished with this blog post.\u00a0 Go forth in peace and love each other as God loves you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
