Somebody I know died yesterday. I don't know why, but I just have this urge to write something about it.
A couple of days ago, the doctors said he was sick with some sort of infection. The next day, his legs started to swell and later fell on a coma. The day after that, he died. If it were a Dr. House episode, House would have cured the infection with his uncanny wit coupled with large doses of brutal sarcasm. However, we all know that real life is more sadistic and brutal than good 'ol Dr. House. Down here, people actually die and nobody gets to look cool afterwards.
And so, we(the ones left behind) wonder about this "place" where people "go" when they die. Since mortality is such a tough thing for any modern human being to accept, we can't help but hope that we'd somehow "go somewhere nice" when we die - just to make whatever time we have left a little bit more comforting. Because like it or not, we're all next.
Rest in Peace TA.
