Questions

Certain events have caused my mum to be rather paranoid, what with all those reminders that our birth certs and documentations are kept here, and our bank account books are kept there, et cetera. i think she's even planning to make a will soon or something. i know that it's unscientific and superstitious to think that making wills is inauspicious, and that it's to everyone's benefit that she wants to have things written clearly in black and white, but something about her suddenly frequent usage of the phrase "what if" unsettles me. i guess it's an unavoidable fact that everyone will leave one day, but it's also a very uncomfortable one. i wonder how long i can ignore the glint of the scythe before it's right at my throat. how do the adults in my life find the courage to face it without going insane? is it some sort of enlightenment that will come naturally with maturity?

maybe that is the ultimate goal of life. when Death knocks on my door, i will not be the one who will lock it and hide in the closet, only for him to find me huddled in the darkness, disgraced as a human being. i will be the one who will grab my hat and coat, say goodbye to my family and friends, and leave with him for a stroll.

now don't get me wrong, i'm not contemplating suicide or anything (if i were then i would start wearing heavy eyeliner and sporting wrist scars). i just want to put aside all the taboos of death for a while and simply think about it for a while. it' precisely because there is so much not known about death that people are so afraid of it, so the logical thing to do would be to put aside our fear of the unknown and take a good hard look. after all, there are so many questions:
