Lots of people wonder why we are here. It's in our nature to want to know.
Plenty have tried to find an answer to that question though. Why are we here? Are we here to suffer? To grow the population? To destroy things? To disappoint? Because that's all we've done so far.
We all know that we are born to die, but what do we do until we are taken by the grieving hands of death? We have created an advanced society in the short amount of time we have been here, but what is it for? What is its importance for the future? We go to school to learn, only for that information to be useless to most in the future. We research our earth and solar system, but what is it for?
We despise being alone, yet we love it. We loathe living, yet we go on everyday. We were put here because we thought we were strong. Some will fail at life, most just get by, and others pass gratefully. At least that's what it seems like. Fame and fortune does not mean you pass life, there is no passing life in a universal way. We all have different views on what passing life is, most will say achieving eternal happiness. Though how will you achieve eternal happiness if you don't know what it is?
People may hide it well-- well enough that they don't even realize it themselves-- but no one is ever truly happy. There is always a darkness within us. We hide from it, running everyday to escape the dreaded thought of it, but some do not succeed. Every year countless people lose loved ones to that darkness. After they lose that person, they might even get swallowed by the shadows too. There is no escaping it. We can’t escape ourselves.
When we die, the hands of Death greet us diligently. They accept us for who we truly are, shadows and all. In the end, it does not matter if you “passed life”. In the end, nothing matters. Death is only an escape to end our mortal suffering. But do we know if we truly escaped life? We don't know what is after death, but we still are brave enough to see what is on the other side. We are so tired of the life that we spent years building that we are willing to sacrifice it all for something that is undetermined. What's after may be worse than now, but we do not care. We just want to escape.
