Life vs Death

It's Christmas Eve already. The jinx of doomsday for this year are already broken I guess. People are frantically saying that this December will be the doomsday, especially on the 21. And also there were rumors that on the 23 to 25 there will be no sun at all. Yet as I see, nothing of sort happened here, so I guess it's clear already that the doomsday is not on the said date. What did those people think actually that they readily believe such things, I will never know I guess.

Which giving me a thought of why it is really easy for people to be panicking over the end of the world or Armageddon or whatever they named it. Is it because they are not ready to die yet? Why? Are they not fulfilled enough of life? Don't they know that everything don't really matter, whether you prepare for a survival of some kind or not, if the doomsday really come? All things are futile I said, if that really come. Well... perhaps there could be survivors like during the ice age, or not. But once again, we will never know.

I am imagining what will happen if there are survivors. What if the people that pay really high to get rescued live and those who are not, not. They will be the top bosses, that usually do things with the help of their lovely assistant. What will their life be? Can they really survive? Don't they know their money value will worth... nothing when they surfaced? Not when the commoners who helped them in the daily activities gone.

My second scenario was... The people that has the bunker in their home also survives. What will it be when all of them submerge after the food get scarce? They will be forced to go hunt for food, back to the old days or stone age, I guess. Will the civilization be built again like that? Or will they eventually get tired with the harsh reality and wished that they didn't survived?

The thing is... Why people are so afraid of doomsday? Are they afraid of death? Why? Are there are things that they haven't done before? It is reasonable for children to think that way, but adults mind are... they making or more complicated, don't they?

But... If they are so afraid of death, why there are people who loves to embrace it earlier? Killing themselves and all just because of some things happened in their life? I am asking myself that very same question and the answer I can find out is that.. they are so afraid of living. Facing another day of the miserable life in this world is scarier to them rather than facing the unknown.

For me, it is far more better facing my life and the future I know not of, but it would be something I'm setting it up myself from now, rather than meeting death and don't know what it will be.Because life is what I've been going through each day. And death is... something unknown to me. So I am not really looking forward to it. After all, we are all going to die someday. So why hasten it when you can savor life?

Stand Up (Don't Give Up)

Lately I was watching an interesting drama titled "To the Beautiful You"

This drama was actually based on the manga "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" and it already had several drama dome based on it too.

I don't wanna prolong writing since I also don't really know what to write these days, but there's a song I like  in the movie. It told us to stand up even though we've been down, raise your head and try once again.

Here's the video and the lyrics also the meaning.

English Translation:

Even if life is hard, don’t quit until the end
The sky will protect your side
Your footsteps are heavy, make some noise
You sink down and let out a sigh
But one more time, one more try

Look to the sky confidently
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Inside of you is someone like you
Don’t give up on your future even if it’s hard
Stand up, hold my hand, take the world

Like how petals fall when time passes
Clouds promise rain
Even if you’re struggling
It can change by whatever the sky wants
Don’t worry, never mind
Wait for that day

Look to the sky confidently
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Inside of you is someone like you
Don’t give up even if it’s hard, one more time
Stand up, hold my hand, stand up again (Stand up)

Stand up (Stand up)
Raise your head

Please don’t waver
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Don’t give up even if it’s hard, one more time
Stand up, hold my hand, stand up again

Observe and feel
Even if we’re different, my friend
You’re not alone, stand up again
