MUSINGS ABOUT DEATH

"Some people say Death’s heart is as dead and black as a piece of coal, but that is not true. Beneath his inky cloak, Death’s heart is as red as the most beautiful sunset and beats with a great love of life."

~From Brainpickings, about Death
Cry, Heart, But Never Break

I just love the article and remembered my very own children's book about death, which I bought few years ago. It was also nice and brief yet meaningful. It explained death wherein children can grasp the pain of losing and acceptance of the possible death of their loved ones. 

I surmised then, regardless of our status and material possessions, we will still bite the dust. We are always on the loop and we can't escape from it. It balances the world and people. It might be deplorable to be cognizant about our limited time and existence, but what can we actually do to cease this? Nothing. We can't stop it but we can change our attitude toward it by wearing another lens to see the beauty of death.

In addition, I say, confront! We just have to confront our thanatos by embracing the possibilities of ephemeral opportunity of living the life bestowed upon us and by being grateful about death. Its beauty rests on the idea of life appreciation and the need to cherish each moment.

The pulchritude of death brings us back to love our lives even better. 💓
