Through the trials and tribulations, of humanity, death is the most difficult of tests we face. Death of friends, of family, of people, of the world, or of dreams.
Only those of strong will to pursue peace of mind through acceptance will find not only resolve but also the feeling of giving and/or receiving forgiveness.
In pure perspective, the cycle of the 2 concepts life and death are but the opportunity to experience existence and to recycle that opportunity for another to have the chance.
when realization has occurred, we are that ever closer to understanding... no, we are that ever closer to experiencing existence and appreciating its unfathomable wonder, its splendor, its horror, its beauties, its disgusts, its goods, and its evils.
Why we fear death? because of the known, the unknown, and the pain.
We know death is there, it lingers everywhere, But we don't know what will happen after we die, and what if death is painful?
as long as we come to terms with the ever existing factor and respect life, death will be that much peaceful.
And when death tugs on the clothe upon my shoulders, i will not run, instead i shall turn around and grab hold of his cold iron fingers and walk gracefully into the void and beyond.
take heart N0mad, you are as strong willed as any artist on newground and on this planet, but it is ultimately up to you to decide your own view points on life and death.
Remember, the life of an artist, an animator, a musician, a voice actor, or a creator of sorts is not an easy one, there are many trials and tribulations that follow and YOU have to decide how you will live it.
"it's not what we do in the moment that's important, rather it's what we leave behind for others to be inspired"
good luck fellow artist, cause i'm dealing with the death of my grandmother as of 2 days ago...
