On Death, Part III

Yes, it's that time again to remind us all we are all heading toward the same finish line. It looks exactly the same for all of us, though some will reach it before others. 

It is also time to remind us all that we are heading in that direction by ourselves. We are, un-popularly, all alone on this road. Somewhere, deep inside, the knowledge is there and, at the same time, hidden. Scary to know there is no one but you. Just you. Always was you. Always will be just you. 

The distractions from remembering the aloneness toward this finish are many. Fooling oneself works for some time and yet, no matter how exotic the riches may be, the truth cannot be thrown out with the rest of the trash. Truth, just like you, always was and always will be. 

Truth is only painful when not faced. What is faced becomes known. What is known cannot be feared. When fear is gone, the burden dissolves. Without the burden, freedom sprouts. It is only in freedom that life is possible. No matter the number or lack of distractions.

The time has come to be reminded that we are all heading toward the exact same finish line. The line looks exactly the same for all of us, though some will taste it before others. Shouldn't we cross it gracefully?
