How to be dead

I don't understand a prevailing theme I see in films these days. It is the drama or such that hammers home how bad we should all feel if we find ourselves alone when we die.

Let me set this straight; unless you know exactly the moment you are going to die, you are going to die alone. There, I've said it. I see it as incredibly selfish of a person who insists on people being near them when they die. The themes I see is that they are afraid of dying, afraid of being alone, want loved ones around them, etc, etc, etc. I have no intention of bestowing the burdon of my imminent demise so that it can be carried on like a blood stain on your favourite shirt.

I say that the goal is to live well while you are alive. Cultivate those relationships that mean something to you. Be good to yourself. Be good to others. Seize every moment you can out of this short existence. But when you are done, just go crawl into a hole and be done with it.

Sort out your fears before you die. Resolve anything left undone before you even go to bed tonight. Do it. You will sleep better, you will live better, you will die better. If you did not wake up in the morning, would you be satisfied with your life as you left it? If not, then you either die alone, die unhappy, or you better sort your shit out and sort it out fast. No regrets. Nothing left undone. No burdon for those left behind. Live with abandon, leave with dignity.
