Paradox

… and so many died of natural death while waiting for the End of the World!

Sweet death

S. Prokofiev’s grandfather, according to legend, died at 97 by falling from the ladder that he used to visit his mistress. What a sweet death!

Unnatural

I’ve read somewhere that there is research in the US on the artificial prolonging of human lives, thus conquering the phenomenon of death. Aside from the fact that the whole concept is impossible, highly unnatural, and immoral, one shouldn’t be surprised a bit: there are other highly unnatural and immoral things that came from the US before.

Charming

His entire life he was faking it. Then death came along, and he couldn’t fake it anymore. Too bad: he was such a charming man.

Smug

To be smug means not being aware of your own mortality.

Life and death

Life and death aren’t opposites, but complementary.

Friends

Most of the people that I’d like to be friends with are dead. One day, this will be entirely true.

Mortality

Whenever I think about my own mortality, it always seems impossible that I would die.

Self-forgetfulness

At the core of all human activities is self-forgetfulness, as a device for dealing with the temporal nature of our lives.

Hope

All we can hope for in this life is to die on time.
