When our bodies fall apart, this is a safety feature. Ripe people feeling sick at all hours, cerebral palsy, stroke, failing ears/eyes, these are symptoms leading to loss of death fear. If living is painful and dull, most of us will wish to die. Physical decay is nature’s way of killing death fear. Even though I use it, I don’t like that phrase “nature’s way”. I like things that I am talking about to be defined and concrete. Who is nature? Is it a man who falls asleep on fresh honey? Is it a girl looking out over the plains and wishing it would rain because she is hot? The common joe: “Nature is sexless, man. Nature is all around you.” I don’t like ambiguous things that are all around me.
Death Is The Medicine That Cures All Ills
