You are dying every second; it just takes time for death to arrive.
Well, so what now? Life is quite absurd, the cosmic theater that never ends, or not till the death it is, or well if the Oscillatory Universe is not the one we happen to live in. We of course will die, but! We live now. We may have no significance in the grand scheme of things, yet the manifestation of life is a mysterious and unique cosmic event. We get to make ripples in space-time and enjoy a small window of opportunity to experience matter’s most unique manifestation. Why trade this for death? Transform yourself, become free of attachments, and eventually let go of the biggest attachment — life itself. We are slaves to many attachments, but we can detach ourselves from them. The final attachment is a matter of choice or time. Live now, and savor every single moment, because soon it will be gone. Well, that is if we can ‘choose to do’ all of the above ;). A true nihilist understands the absurdity of existence and revels in the irony and fun of it. Will you join?
