Death Themes

Memento mori from a source of food in an old farm of Utah.

Going dark today with an unpopular topic: death. Most don't like to talk about it. But for good or for bad, death is part of us since we’re born. Death is not a stranger. We come from there (but we can’t remember). A memento mori (thanks the Stoics) works against blind positivism. They are good reminders to appreciate life. We don’t fear death but our thoughts of death. Embrace the rules of the universe (even the mighty stars die). Keep close the advice of 7th century Buddhist poet Wang Fanzhi:

Listen you, enjoy your time, you really don’t have very long.
