Life (and Death) etc.

Rehan Rizvi April 11, 1998

Tags: Death

Life is sacred.
Sacred things are rare.
Life is not,
Life is not sacred.
Life is cheap.
Life is ugly.
Life is eventual death.
Death is inevitable.
Death is a promise.
A Promise is sacred.
Sacred
is scarce.
Death is not scarce.
Death is not sacred.
What is Death.?
Death is the transformation of a life into an eternal life.
In short, when we stop breathing, we are dead.
Is death the destination or just a milestone in an eternal journey?
What is eternity?
What is mortality?
Who's I? Who am You?
What are them?
Whom is what?
Sounds scatter in the dark vastness of the universe.
Universe is dark.
Darkness is the rule.
Darkness is lies.
Lies are the rule.
Light is exception.
Light is hope.
Hope is exception.
Light is truth.
Truth is exception.
What is truth?
Why is truth morally right when it's so rare?
Why should we all not lie all the time?
What is a lie?
This whole world is a big lie.
It's all a deception.
Now we see it, now we don't.
River of air.
Ocean of sand.
Dreams and fantasies.
Dreams are real.
Reality is a nightmare.
All is nothing.
And nothing is everything.
