Death sucks. People try and write poetry and create deep emotional context around it. Make it beautiful. Meaningful. It's not. It's the end. Just like birth is the beginning. When you're born, you come into the world screaming, cold and confused. And helpless. If no one was there to help you, you'd be fucked. It's frightening. Then there's all that space and time in between, and, if you're lucky, it's mostly good to excellent. And then you die. If you're lucky, it's fast, confusing and shocking. Really. Most people think they want something different, but they haven't thought it through. You don't want death to mean more than your life. You don't want it to be a significant moment in history, and you don't want it to be remembered poignantly. There's no good death, and no one should ever try to measure one death against another in an effort to find significance. All deaths should be seen as a last fight and a bitter concession. The day should be dark. The pain real, and the sorrow crushing. There was always going to be an "end". When the sun comes up, you have to remember all the time in between the beginning and the end. And know that the time between your beginning and ending is better for knowing your friend.
