Maybe This Is Why

Why is death so painful? Let's switch that question around to a question so many people ask. Why is life so painful? Maybe death is so painful because we were too busy focusing on the struggles in life to wonder what we would do once they were gone. Once we were gone. Maybe, we were so busy obsessing over what was going wrong that we forgot something, we forgot that there is someone there for us, that we aren't alone no matter how alone we feel. Death is painful because when it is time to go, you are never ready. Death is so painful because you never know what you have until you loose it, but once you loose it, it's too late to cherish it. Humans live, maybe 100 years if they are lucky, possibly more. In the grand scheme of things, 100 years is a speck of dust. For some people, that's why death is painful, because after another 100 years, most likely, no one will really rememeber you, and you were too busy worrying about how to make six-figures to think about that! People are too busy to think about that, so when the time comes, you aren't ready. For some people that's why it's so painful. For most people though, I think it it just because death is a change, change is scary, it brings the unknown, but death is a change that you can't stop, you can't hold back, and despite that so many people have faced it, no one knows what it is like. So I guess I think death is painful because we aren't ready, no one is ready to leave, you have been here your whole life, like a childhood home, all that we can hope, is that we are moving to to a better place.
