@indigofenrir7236

Cheeseburgers are made of beef, which are made from cows. It also contains cheese, which comes from their milk. It's neatly-or in McDonald's case, sloppily-sandwiched in between two pieces of bread, made from wheat, a type of grass, which cows eat. Each time you look at a cheeseburger, you are looking at a life, what it has given, and what gives it life, which is pretty much no different from looking at people and their actions. But how many cheeseburgers made you think that way? How many cows did you mourn right before eating them in cheeseburger form? We are the cows, slowly being eaten by time. Time doesn't care who we are, what gave us life, or what we have given; it simply chews all of us steadily and equally into oblivion. Have a nice day!

Imagine you're looking at the time and the clock just says "Boy, mind your damn business."
My favourite clock is that famous astronomical one in Prague. On it are four figures representing the despised human characterizations; The vanity (a man looking in his mirror), the greedy/cheap (man with bag of coins), Death (a skeleton) and, of course, the one representing lust and laziness: The turk. Each hour death rings its bell, as the orher dolls shakes their heads signaling they're not ready to go just yet.

I think that's healthy. I recently lost my dad, and one of the many things I came to realise is that we don't think of death enough, we like to feel as if it's always so far, so foreign, but it's not. We should learn to know death so that we're ready when it comes.
