I don’t know what it is exactly because I am not depressed at all. Still, the topic of death seems to be on my mind a lot. Perhaps it’s the death of Michael Jackson happening so close alongside someone at my school district who recently died. And a few other celebrities recently died. Maybe that’s what has be thinking about all this. I saw an infomercial recently on malignant Mesothelioma, and the host was showing products and hospitals that had actually seen people cured from this horrible form of cancer.
That was exciting but what I noticed more was the was people had learned to live differently when they were diagnosed with a chronic, fatal illness. If you think about it, we all have a chronic fatal illness: mortality. I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately and it has prompted me to make some changes. I want to spend more time on what matters. That last part is probably likely to be received well. The fact that I was thinking about death when I came to that conclusion probably won’t be. Maybe talking about death should become less of a taboo? Have you been thinking about death more lately?
