Something that, because we know it's inevitable, we learn to develop a constructive relationship with it. Death is not something we like, and we do all we can to avoid it as long as possible, yet it's something that awaits every single one of us. Hence why we accept it. Death is inevitable. It can be delayed by 10-20 years with a healthy lifestyle (almost any person who lives an above average healthy life can live well into their 90's without trouble) but it can not be avoided entirely. It awaits us whether we like it or not. And it's terrifyingly close. If you think about it, the 80 years that you're alive aren't that long. If you go back to the middle ages, a period of 80 years would literally take up like 1/4 of a page of a history book. Does 1 week feel like a short time? Well good, because you're now down to 4,999. 5000 weeks is how long we live. That's not that many. If you think about it, death is terrifyingly close to even the youngest and healthiest of us. Yet we don't fear it and we ignore it for the first three quarters of our life or more. I don't fear death because I believe in eternal life, and I believe that the 5,000 weeks or less I live is nothing compared to eternal life.

And just as his laptop shut down, Jack felt like death had just come to her.

When life is finally degraded by entropy. Occurs to an organism when it is spent. Percieved by us, humans as the end with all captial letters(THE END) and is the main cause of all religoins(involving afterlife).
If you don't believe in god or if you do, believe in the {Light}.
Find it where there is only darkness or ignore it... and feel the emptiness burn you soul...
If you don't believe in god or if you do, believe in the {Light}.
Find it where there is only darkness or ignore it... and feel the emptiness burn you soul...
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lighting they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
