Death..

[Will Munny]

If I didn't have loved ones, I don't think I'd give 2 shits about death.

Not gonna lie, if I didn't know how sad it would make my mom I would have probably blown my brains out years ago.

Death isn't the scariest thing to me really, I can deal with that, it will be like sleeping and I love naps. What scares me way more than death is a life full of meaningless suffering.

There is a great philosophical essay by Albert Camus that touches on this. It's called the myth of Sisyphus. Basically asking that does recognizing the absurdity of the world lead to the conclusion that suicide is require. If everything is meaningless, what is the point of living. His summation is not to try to find meaning in the meaningless, but that the struggle against it has to be enough

Just the mere fact that you wish for meaning and order has to suffice, even if the pursuit of it is futile

I'm go on a deep dive here about this tomorrow sometime when I'm not so sleepy but I learned that lesson in the weirdest way.

I feel like most people who say they don't fear death haven't reaaaally had to come face to face with it before. We live an incredibly safe world and not many people really ever get seriously sick.

I remember when Patrick Swayze was in stage 4. Most cancer patients who are terminal have this graciousness about them.... Stuart Scott, Big Ang, etc. Patrick Swayze was the first person I ever saw say that he was so angry and couldn't find a silver lining. In the interview with Bara are Walters, he said he was so pissed. He felt robbed. I felt horrible for him. I couldn't imagine. I don't think any of us who haven't gone through that can imagine that shit.

I totally agree, we really can't fathom the depths of the emotions they feel when they go through that. Such a hopeless situation I don't know how people don't get resentful.

I had a moment like this. What kind of art or images do you consume? When I was in college, I would watch first 48 marathons, unsolved mysteries, cold case files, any and every homicide detective shows. It began to affect my psyche and I always thought I was gonna die. I would sitting at a red light thinking "what if someone zoomed through the intersection and crashed into me"? I think you need to try to alter your consumption. It will help a lot. Try to go a month without listening to violent rap, watching some death, or thinking about it.

Right, like OB said, no worldstar, IC, or news and you'll be a'ight.

On some other shit tho @obnoxiouslyfresh , now that you mentioned it, I be binge-reading murder mysteries & deaths on the internet.

Click on the wrong article at the wrong time and next thing you know, I done formed a profile on this person.

"The man you're looking for is an obese white-male who lives in a rural area somewhere.... He doesn't have many relationships, except several dogs who he regularly mistreats..."

Like that serial killer who was writing the Amazon reviews

No lie, I was just talkin' to my boy about that fat MF the other day.

This dude out here selling real estate and posting on his victims FB page talmbout 'stay safe out there, people gettin' kidnapped' and shit while he had the chick chained up. Killed everybody in a business and buried them back on his property.

I'm like ...

Yea that story fucked me up. It made me jump out of my car and run in the gas station while driving uber because I just didn't trust the white man siting behind me. He gave me the creeps

U were so shook. I felt bad. I'll say it now, i think you were over reacting a bit, but better safe than sorry. Peace of mind is priceless

It's the possible suffering, the finality of it all, and the unknown that can make it scary.

The best has already been done! Why are people so pessimistic about death? We have received a report from someone who has already been there! And guess what? He has come back from the dead and He holds the keys to both HELL and DEATH!

HALLELUJAH!

All we have to do is come to Him. You don't have to do anything except confess that Yeshua is LORD (meaning that He is God) and believe in your heart that He rose from the dead! If you do that 2 step process you will be saved!

You will be saved from death!

You will be saved from your sins!

You will be saved from the wrath to come!

You will be saved from the Great White throne judgment!

You will be saved from the everlasting flame!

You will be saved from the judgment of Almighty God!

You will be saved from the 2nd death!

You will be saved from the Lake of fire!

You will be saved from the outer darkness!

You WILL BE SAVED!!!!!!

All you have to do is come and you can be assured of everlasting life!

It's so easy, but yet we make it so hard. And it's so tragic! We don't have to go to hell, but most folks just insist on going because they think that they are smarter than God, that they can work their way into heaven by being a "good person" and/or that they can somehow hide their evil deeds from Him by "acting" like He doesn't exist.

How utterly tragic.
