Well, damn. It's that time again. Another wacked out journal entry about who knows what. Today, I'ma do it a bit different. I been thinkin real hard lately (SHOCKER) and I just don't get it.

Why is death so random?

The basic idea is that we live, we die, we go to heaven or hell. So by the looks of it, there isn't much leeway for you humans. (Ha-ha!) Instead, there seems to be an expiration date somewhere on us. Of course, no one knows the answer to this, except for that we've been 'round for long enough so our bodies and minds expire and deteriorate. But the thought of death is the case here. It's feared, embraced, accepted, rejected, and just overall biased cases towards this simple concept that once we start, somewhere we gotta stop.

Then, you gotta put into the fact that people are biased towards death due to how they view its' cause all together. Pain, suffering, and good ole old age. Those who feel constant pain are to think that maybe death is the holy place, that it will stop the suffering of all they endured for so long. Others fear it because they have 'more that they HAVE to live for' and so they instantly reject it as said above. And those dying of old age accept it, they feel they've waited for long to see what this thing is, or they're missing an old friend or loved one who passed away hoping they'll see them again, or they just wanna meet a historic icon like JFK or Einstein. It seems, that though there are millions and millions (Maybe billions, I haven't checked in a while) of people in the world, and we just keep adding on.

Thus there's my own theory. We're sorted out to the good, bad, and the middle people. We use the tools of the trade we learnt from our past lives to solve a puzzle set before us. Our result and dedication sends us to either heaven, hell, or the train station, where you get to choose wether you'd like to go to Heaven, Hell, or back to earth as a 5 year old kid (That's when we usually have our first memories) so you may relive the earth life again, unbeknownst to you, for a better life. Examples are the semi-lifeless and the unmotivated. They've only just started or they've taken the train too much. They don't know the real pleasures in life, or they're just bored with it. Another would be the wild, reckless, philanderers who take any opportunity given to them. Those are the ones who want to enjoy life.

Of course, there's no second chances once you pick either heaven or hell, but you go back to the station if you learn something good in your life. Seems oddly familiar to jail and church, don't it? But no matter, the point is that who knows what's waiting for us at the other side? All we can do is just either enjoy our time, waste it, or just anticipate our untimely demise. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm done for the day. Remember: There's always that second chance with what you're striving for. The choice is yours to take it or leave it, for better or for worse.

Say of the Day: Be happy with what you got. There's no telling what can happen after that, good or bad. Just know you have yourself, that's all that really matters.
