Life's Conundrum and Death's Solution

Life
asked,
Death



"why (?)
do people love me
but hate you?"
death responded,
"because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth."


Living and dying are an inseparable and indispensable cycle;
they are two sides of the same coin....they are the body and shadow of every individual to walk this planet we have named Earth...
Without dying there is no living, and without living there is no dying.
Life is not a gradual movement towards death. We are living and dying at every moment.
Dormat to active, we sprout fourth from this universal energy that we have no business defining, explaining, defying, disputing or disbelieving....
Plain and simple, who are we to understand it...nor should we be arrogant enough to think that it created solely for our pleasured experience.
The only sound and expressed advice is to acknowledge and appreciate it.
For, you may never get the opportunity again....

Life is the real lie, but rather most (if not all its) beauty tends to go ignorant...as per evidence of our race's appetite for exploitation, dilution and destruction.
Why destroy what's precious and beautiful?

But in the finale of this dance, death is the true and ultimate end...funny how it's the one true inevitable that will never disappoint from happening.
Life is full of beautiful adventures along the way, but your last adventure is gloomy and sad because it's quite literally the "last."
So, Life is beautiful and full of ultimately pointless joys, objectively speaking,
because in the end, 
the "painful truth" is we die and to some extent, none of it mattered.
Unless...you paid attention along the way
And appreciated every available moment
before it all comes to where we all were before we started...
As I already said...who's to say that we will get another go at this adventure?
Why should we?
As far as I am concerned, very few deserve that "goodness"
To re-experience...to re-live that Ultimate Beauty that we call life.

Be good, be well...be the best you can be to your friends, family and foes...
Because you may never get that chance again....
