Concept propostion

    There is one thing  that absolutely everyone experiences in there life, no exceptions. Of course some people experience it more that others, and some are effected more than others, but it is always there. Everybody dies. Whether it is your own death or the death of someone else you experience it, but how many really experience it, how many really understand and accept it. When someone dies most people try to ignore it, try to just move past it, even if its your mom or your best friend you just want to get by it and not look back. I guess that’s why often when people are reminded of a deiced and its overwhelming, when you don’t experience it and except it, it can never be okay with it happening. My best friend recently died (yes he was a horse, but I have never been so close to anything in my life) but I am okay, I miss him, but I can still genuinely smile and call him a brat even though it was less than two months ago. I have come to realize that most people don’t want to understand death and it constantly remains the enemy. While I was experiencing this  I was reading “The Book Thief”, which put everything I was thinking into words and then further clarified it, coming at perfect timing with my life. I have thought a lot about death this past month and a half, and it has become something that is not the enemy. Death is incorporated in many things, and almost even more often death is denied, feared and never accepted, which is why I feel the concept of death could have so many different facets and perspectives to explore.
