To think about death.

No I'm not depressed. Death is a topic that is sad or scary from the point of view of the living. But once we die, that point of view is not valid for us any more. So then death becomes a point beyond which being sad or happy doesn't matter any more because sad and happy are part of the living world.

Of course I'm scared to die. Fear is a part of life and survival instincts are what has kept us what we are. I don't want to seek death and want to enjoy the time of being alive to the fullest.

But we can seek solace in the mystery of death as much as the mystery of birth, I believe.

Maps. I like to explore how to navigate places that I haven't been yet. I'll go on Google Street view and look around the neighborhood.

Civilization could end tomorrow, we could nuke ourselves and our planet to shit and the sun will die and swallow Earth.

But no matter what happens to us, Voyager's golden records will keep sailing through space, forever proof that we were here, of what we were, and what we were capable of. Even through the literal end of the world we cannot be denied a legacy.

I find comfort in the fact I can take my life at any time. This means that I can live life without worrying too much. When life gets too hard I can just end it, so until then I can enjoy the things I like.
