Death is really not the tragedy most people make it out to be:
“That’s what it was like to be alive. To move about in a cloud of ignorance; to go up and down trampling on the feelings of those...of those about you. To spend and waste time as though you had a million years. To be always at the mercy of one self-centered passion, or another. Now you know- that’s the happy existence you wanted to go back to. Ignorance and blindness” - Simon Stimson in Our Town by Thornton Wilder
Every once in a while we need to be reminded that we really are not happy. It is the awareness of our misery that encourages us to awaken our real, way-seeking mind.
