Everyone
from gothic philosophers though to animals know they die everyone...
its an absolute its funny enough a force that drives us, but that's the
joy of it, we know one thing in existence if NOTHING else we are going
to die! We might have thoughts on what happens after and where we go
from there but at least we know that one thing.
I really think
its important to understanding how important life is and questioning the
every day and the everything because we won't be around forever to do
so. I question everything every day how people see me what I look like
to others and just random things just because it lets you know your
alive.
We live to die. Its simple there is no other point to it really there is a long path and at the end of it is death.
We
live to die... not a nice phrase is it? It's not mine but it belongs to
the gothic world. Here is a quote of my own. In life I stumble and into
the waiting arms of death I fall. You do stumble though life, mistakes
and stuff up's all make the journey an interesting one but sadly some
people don't even get a chance to live breathe grow old and die. If life
is a journey why then does an unborn child sometimes die before being
born or why at the peak of his or her life does a twenty three year old
have a heart attack and drop dead?
In my own sad morbid gothic
sense they did get to live and walk the path even if it was short beyond
words. But why do the fates, god or whatever it is IF anything out
there decide that. Funny enough the ones who loved that person can't
accept that fate and the public if such an event happens and they see it
can be affected or no. It leads back to spirituality and a soul as it
where and then to faith and so many bad things which I feel we do not
need to grow as a species. If we don't have a soul then there is nothing
to it really is there? And if we do then I still don't know what the
deal is after so heck who cares haha.
What about some of the bad
people out there who laugh at the misfortune of others? What of them?
Does it mean it's not affected them yet that death hasn't come to their
door or that maybe they are so inured to it they can't feel the affect
of death.
I call death a she and I think she is a beautiful
gothic angel form in her own right. Should we not worship the actual
thing that comes for us all? We all fear death but the only reason why
is because we are worried there is nothing after her taking us away with
her. But that's why people get religion because it suddenly explains
away things and gives life, and death a purpose. For instance Vikings
had Valhalla; christans had heaven and so forth. But then you had to be a
good person or warrior to go to those. If you were not a good person or
you died in your bed old and frail you met the other side the hell's as
it where.
But then it leads to ethics also do you need to be a
good person or a bad one when you die? What if you lived life as a bad
person and only at the end did you want to change, is there even a need
to change? Will the deeds of life carry forth unto your death?
I
personally can't make assumptions about what happens after death because
I'm not dead and I've not came back from being dead because funny
enough I can't. But you know I will and I know you will have your own
ideas.
We can read books and they can tell us of gothic people
who have had near death experiences or have died for a minute or two.
But then I've read A LOT of books and seen a lot of documentaries which
funny enough give the impression that even if you're dead your brain
doesn't stop functioning.
Could it be whilst the power fades away
so you don't feel unhappy whilst you die you actually get to see
whatever it is you believed in life as like a curtains falling moment?
And if your brought back maybe you believe it actually happened when
really it was all in your then fading mind.
You live your life
according to a set of rules, faith, moral's, ethic's however you put it,
you're alive and like for many for the whole time you try to forget
your going to die.
I think gothic death is beautiful myself my
own PERSONAL beliefs are that its one journey ended another began you
will die and maybe it's a soul some kind of substance being that
incorporates you that is let go from a body that now is free to see it
all. Maybe?
But honestly what's not to say that death is like
becoming a butterfly we as human are merely a cocoon before out death of
which we become a butterfly free to roam the universe. Will we find
others on our travels? And then what… you can't be that way forever
maybe we get a choice as to what happens after. When you consider this
heaven sounds boring hell sounds the same all the things places faiths
have to offer can they entertain a soul forever?
But then one
must ask the question of a soul unborn and also ask when does one if
this soul exists obtain it? You where never born what will happen? Or
what if you died a child will you be that way forever or referring to
other chapters will you lose that fallible body and see everything
clearly.
