Speech 4. The Fear Of Dying
#4 of Wise Words/Speeches
I really loved how this came out. It might sound negative when you read it, but I put a lot of thinking and spirit into this, and I don't intend it to be mean incase you're sensitive ;) I am a nice happy guy too!'
This has turned out to be my longest and what I consider the most deepest speech.
Also, I love everyone's way of thinking! Please comment on what you have to disagree with, and what you think was the greatest line(if you want, that is).
BUT I AM REALLY LONELY SO COMMENT!!!
As it is, we all have our fears. But a fear that is impossible to crush, a fear that has been living on through thousands of years, is the fear of dying. One by one, one after another, people will always continue to perish. We try to put meaning in death, religion for example, but all death is, is unbearable pain, meaningless hatred, and never healing wounds. There simply is no meaning to death, and we should not interfere with knowing what it is. Humans have been scared so much, that is why we created "God" a being that is eternal and immortal. But everything ages, rots, and dies. Everything is powerless against time. And who ever it was that "created" these religions put meaningless time into it. We should accept and allow, rather than knowing what is and what is not. I myself, would rather put every second of every year into the quality of life that Ive lived. Then I can have a life worth remembering. But taking refuge under books, making yourself proud because you know more, running away from life that you lock yourself in solitude just to put meaning to death... We have to be very careful to the people we are jealous about. Jealousy is somewhat similar to guilt. Jealousy is when we are sorry for ourselves and hate other, more fortunate people. While guilt is when we feel sorry for others and hate ourselves.
There is no need to feel guilty. When you cry, you could make others cry. When you bleed, you could make others bleed. That is a chain that we're all connected to, that is a chain that puts meaning in "living" yet its so very different from "dying" Which is still something that has no definition.
We try so hard to convince ourselves that the people we love could never die. That's just the kind of creatures we are. We keep trying to re-define our lives, in hoping to make them different with the afterlife, where we get to see our loved ones once we pass away after them. The afterlife, where we get to live in a place called "Heaven" a place that can fill our hearts with what ever we desire... That place is nothing but trash. We have to love and respect the memories and ideals of people when they are alive, if you want them to be re-created then you will turn them into worse trash, and you will be the worst kind of trash there is.
And there is just one mistake we all make, we ask ourselves "Is there meaning in life?" But what we mean to say is "Who am I?". That is a very silly question. Its so silly because we end up spending our whole lifetime trying to figure out who we are in life instead of finding a meaning in life. And this is my answer, the only way I know possible to define death. Though we spend our whole life finding out what we are, we are not lions, we are not fish, we turn out not being our true selves, and that is where we become lost, but when you're about to die, that is when you know who you really are, what you really wanted, and what your dreams are. The dream to find love, the dreams you want to come true and the dreams you cant reach. The dream itself become the hope to continue living. To continue living eternally even after death. And never let anyone walk on top of your dreams, not your parents, nor your siblings, not even for your love or for strangers. If you cannot die with your dreams, you will only end up waiting to die.
