Why do people find death so scary? This always puzzles me. Fine there is pain when you die, but there are so many ways to make death painless. Look into your lives and you see hundreds of problems, each appearing utterly complicated and unsolvable. Wouldn’t the solution be to end life and gain freedom from all these? But many people have plenty of positive things in life that balance with the problems they face. Or a lot of people are optimists and they see these problems getting solved and a happy life ahead. So they would not want to end their lives. But if the joys in life do not outweigh the miseries and there is no hope, isn’t death justified then? For someone like me who does not have a strong faith in life after death, this attracts so much.

- That people judge you by whether or not you drive a car to the campus?
- That if you drive a car, people judge you by what model it is?
- That people judge you by what brand of clothing you wear?
- That people only like you if you look as cool as them?
- That people would despise you but still talk to you if you serve a purpose to them?
- That they would ignore you completely after you are of no use to them?
- That they would be ashamed of knowing you if you try to talk to them in front of other people?
Writer’s Block December 25, 2007
Hours spent writing and erasing. Thoughts coming by and going away themselves. A huge reservoir of ideas but none flow out through the fingers. All locked up and jumbled together. Have i lost all the skills i had? Or did i have any abilities at all? Was it someone else who used to write? Damn my perfectionism!
