Day 2 - your thoughts on death

A good reminder to all humans out there: We are all going to die. So stop being a special snowflake and act like death is a distant star in the unreachable heavens above, waiting to be discovered because in reality, it's a fucking meteor that could fall on you anytime anywhere.


That pretty much sums up my idea about death, I believe I could die in any way but I accept this mystery and talk about it in a casual way. Unlike those superstitious bastards who refrain from talking about death like it's Voldemort's name, I am already laying down my plans for my funeral.
Songs to be played:

  1. Koe by Arashi 
  2. Be with You by Arashi
  3. Gangnam Style by Psy
  4. Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas
  5. Konseki by Ninomiya Kazunari

Haha, the third and the fourth are merely for the lolz, though I want the Japanese songs to be played with English translation to be shown to everyone, then everyone would feel the pain and the memories along with the words of a foreign music. Booyah

Why should people be afraid of it in the first place? It happens to everybody, like we are born to die right? In fact and we actually welcome the fact of our existence's ultimate destination, we began to appreciate life more. We will live life to the fullest when we know that we only live on borrowed time and bound to return it someday.

Death is not something to be feared or hated. Let it be a reminder how beautiful life is and not taking it for granted.

    Hi! Love your posts on your blog. Yes, we need to prepare for death and understand what will happen after we leave our physical body. My spiritual teachers recommendation is to be prepared. I recently attended a whole week of lectures (given online) on being prepared and the process of what we might be experiencing and going through after a last breath from Lama Samdrup from Gar Drolma monastery in the States--gardrolma.org

    Lama Samdrup went through this text called "Tibetan Book of the Dead" by Gyurme Dorje. You can find from amazon or kagyu.org website (use link to get to bookstore).

    The other book I would recommend is: https://www.amazon.ca/Tibetan-Book-Living-Dying-International/dp/0062508342/ref=pd_sim_14_6/143-3378053-2546547?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0062508342&pd_rd_r=b606a8f9-4330-4624-b461-c5305835f036&pd_rd_w=5WEbY&pd_rd_wg=d51Of&pf_rd_p=0283a3e9-a4fe-432a-a818-ec8cc83679ed&pf_rd_r=07WZCM288G6C30A983WB&psc=1&refRID=07WZCM288G6C30A983WB

    Wishing you a great year and take care!
