If you allow yourself to be closed, especially to a younger generation, then that's death. That's instant death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are people who never experience that, who remain closed until death, from fear of change.
You get to an age when you lose people close to you.
In your teens and twenties, death doesn't exist. In your thirties, you glance down the road occasionally. But then in your forties, it becomes a full-time job looking the other way.
Dying will happen sometime. As you know, I plan for the ages, not just for this life.
I'm not interested in closure. Some people just have heart attacks and die, right? There's no closure.
By the age of 50, I would like to know that I'm not dead - that there's some continuity to my life.
Ageing's a difficult thing, moving closer to death, but it's okay. I've had a good time living, so I'm gonna have a good time dying.
No one will die if they don't know how old I am.
You know how people say that young people feel immortal? I don't know what they're talking about. I was planning for how I would deal with my death in good conscience well before I even hit puberty.
It's not lost on me that everyone dies, but some people have a kind of immortality about them, and you can't imagine that they will ever be gone.
