The Art of the Mind
It has occured to me that there is a frighteningly veritable analogy based upon nature which has yet to be realized....Basically, i realized a way in which nature is a symbol human life, yet no one has yet to address it....I am speaking of sunset and sunrise....

When the sun sets, in actuality, it is not the sun which is moving, but it is the Earth which shifts, causing the sun to become percieved as changing position....In this manner, so evolves the event of one's death....He who dies is the Sun, and his death is actually the sunset....Now, the person does not change, does not move, does not become a new person....he remains the same from that point until eternity's end....Yet, the Earth still moves...the world still moves...the world continues to go on without him....all he has done is concluded in naught, for though he may have accomplished deeds, as the Sun feeds plantlife, he is still just another man, just as yesterday was just another day, passed without second thought.....

This leads to the sunrise...the point in time where the Earth meets the same Sun once more...since the dead are not risen on a daily business (though it is possible[all jokes aside]), the rising of a new day's Sun is purely the birth of a new person...and considering it is the same Sun, so shall that also be as the previously deceased, sahring the same human qualities, thoughts, actions, etc....Allowing one to conclude that no one is trully special from the rest, just different, as days are different....

So, in a nutshell....When one dies, the world goes on without them without skipping a beat...and yet when a new life is born, that new child shall become like that of its predecessors and in turn die just as they have....No one is uniquely exceptional from the rest of the world, we may have our unique differences....but in the long run, we become just like everyone else in possessing a difference....

Having said all that, my only question to ask upon expounding this matter is this....Why put off for tomorrow, what you can do today?
