Talking with a friend about the inevitability and unfairness of death always gets me into a strange, poignant mood.
It is such a harsh reality that everyone has to meet their maker, and not all deaths are under "fair circumstances". Not only that, but there are those that meet their untimely demise without having had the chance to tick off their bucket list, or there are those poor souls that were just treated horribly up until the time of their passing.
It's such a harsh reality, the unfairness of death is only reflected by the fairness of life that was experienced. And though most everyone wishes their memory to be honored; to be remembered with fondness, there are so many, too many, who pass on to the next life without being remembered.
These personal thoughts on death makes even the most oblivious individual to reflect on their own lives, and to make choices on how to fully "experience life", to maximize their hopes and dreams, their pleasures, their beliefs, their existence.
It's all a race against time. Will you become that person that you strive to be, to live the life you want to live, before death comes knocking at your door?
