SilentlyWaiting

If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when everything in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death. ~Charles Sanders Peirce
          
          I like this one. It makes me think that...while dying should be put off as long as possible, if we are happy with our lives when we die, we get to enjoy the best part of life without having to endure the inevitable pain that would have followed it had we lived for a great deal longer. Him, you, her. I think he was happy with you two when he died. I think he avoided the pain that I worry I'll face one day. The pain of losing you.

People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad. ~Marcel Proust

Don't read my shit if you suffer from depression...etc. I don't want to burden anyone else by making their lives harder than they already are for lack of better wording. I'm just writing it specifically because I don't know what else to do at this point but I apologize if it has been triggering for anyone.
