You know, I have been getting sick of hearing the same shit from different people about how much life sucks and how they wish it would just end. To these brilliant individuals, I will leave you with this little proverb from one of my favorite poems and also from one of the best movies ever made. The dead know only one thing, that it is better to be alive. True, life is not all cute cuddly little puppies. Life is hard and life does truly suck at times, but it is in those moments that we find out what type of character we truly possess. In the time I have spent on this little rock I have seen friends die,
lost someone I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, had multiple regrets of actions
I had not taken, of things I had not said, of goals I had not accomplished. But still I continue through
this life. I learn from the mistakes that I have made, and make a conscious effort not to make them again and to correct the path. So this I say to those who think that life is not worth living. Suck it the
fuck up, and walk that shit off!!! You might find out that the end of the world is not that bad and
the problems that you think are insurmountable are just little speed bumps that you have to run over
at full speed to make it to your destination. Everyone has something to contribute to the world or
the people who are close to them. You just have to open your eyes to see it.
Silent Demise
Speak of spirits, speak of names Of those whose souls were e'er retained By the planet, after death Alive, aware, but without breath Speak of hopeful, eager minds Ones that died before their time Speak of parents, and of graves Of those who will never be saved Speak of forests, cool and green Housing corpses, never seen Explorers lost, and never found Decayed, upon the frozen ground Speak of memorials, proud and tall Dedicated to those who fall Perhaps it'll give unknown soldiers peace Or perhaps even final release Wandering souls, never sleeping, Watching, waiting, sighing, weeping; The dead know one thing, besides their plight; They know that it's better to be alive.
Lastly I had a friend of mine just ship off to the big sandbox Monday and another proverb comes to mind Only the dead have seen the end of war-Plato
Come back safe bro.
