Always Questions

I saw a facebook status update that said "I had a dream last night that i died.. :( Scariest effing thing of my life.. :("

I thought about it. This is what I thought.

Why is it death that scares you? Fear of the unknown. No longer being in control of what you do on this earth. The fear that there is nothing after this. The fear of being forgotten. Why do you not fear life? You don't know what's going to happen in life. You aren't always in control of your life. You are not always remembered in life. Life and death are equals, yet death is scary and life is exciting. People thrive off of not knowing what will happen to them in life. People spend their lives worrying about what will happen to them after death. "To the well trained mind, death is but the next great adventure."

I had a dream last night that I lived, it was the scariest thing of my life.
