terminal

This whole death thing is rather interesting. When someone is dying of terminal illness, we tend to take it as bad news but aren't we all dying as we are living, i mean, that's kinda how life works isn't it? It is pretty interesting how we humans view this. When we are just living, we may know that we are going to die someday but we are not kept constantly aware of it. Kinda like that we are climbing a flight of stairs and we can't see the end of it. Just because we can't see the end, we as humans through our positive bias like to think that perhaps there is no end. It is only when this illusion is taken away from us that we start to despair. I guess the moral of the story is, live in denial, hold on to your delusions, that's how we live.
