Life and Death

[iggy]

I awoke trembling and shaking. I hadn't experienced a "nightmare" in many years.

It was a surrealistic dream in which I was dying. My chest and stomach were bleeding and turned black. The doctors hooked me up to a machine which said I only had two minutes and thirty seconds to live. I collapsed and my life flashed before me in seconds, kind of like a quick montage.

What is life? we enter the world without asking to live and we must obey the rules given out to us. What's the point of it all? Is it a game? A test?

If you choose to speak out against the rules and march to the beat of your own drum, you're ridiculed for it.

There's so much suffering involved in it. But at times, we realize how beautiful life can actually be. These few memories stick in our brains like glue, and we rarely ever forget them.

I really have only one huge problem with life and death.
The fact that even since I was a little boy, I can always remember that I believed I never had too much time. I've came tragically close to death many times, but all i'd ever wanted to do was accomplish what I want to accomplish. If I don't, or die before i'm able to, I'll feel like I failed.

What's life mean to you?

life is just an idea created my man, to explain his existance on this earth

unfortunaly we are just organisms, and everything we feel, think and do is a reaction an mix of chemicals in the brain designed to keep us alive and maintain a survival instinct

to me life is what you make it, what i feel, think and do are not meaningful, they are just actions and thoughts we decide

unfortunaly thats easier said then done, and wat we say life is, isnt nessecarily how we perceive it or what we really want to beleive

to accpet we are just creatures and nothing more is hard to accept by man, especialy considering the intelectual capabilities we posses

in the end life is just a word t describe the timeframe of ones existance,

what you do in that time frame is entirely up to you,

either way, once ur dead you wont be able to regret or remeber any of it,

so why concern urself with thoughts you will never be able to reflect upon

just enjoy the time you have, after all we are not responsible for how we feel, but we are responsible for how we react

true that. we're so simple, yet so complex at the same time.
we don't realize how simple we are.

i'm not really concerning myself with it. i'm doing more of a study of my own subconscious mind and psyche. plus, since I want to make films that have meaning, what better way than to study life myself?

I like bitches beers steroids and snuff. That is life to me.

What is the point/value in survival without meaning?

What is the point/value in survival without meaning?

I can't put it better in words than this

The world is your oyster.

You only have this very moment to live, so forget about tomorrow, and don't think about the past.

To me, life is not about fulfilling yourself, it is about developing meaningful relationships.

No man is an island, entire of itself
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.


-- John Donne
