Now showing Live - PLAYING DEAD

When living, if we are destined to die, while dying, the few lines we leave behind would immortalize us, and that is the only shot everyone supposedly gets.. at immortality.

When we return to being the dust from where we sprung, or when we are finally on the verge of becoming the dead owner of a head-stone, the few words mumbled under fast fading life-conditions, would remain forever the words people will recall as the words to remarkably and memorably mark your life.

Now that really does place some grave urgency on our 'last words!' But, with what words would we part from this green earth? Would we even gather enough breath to utter those few final words.

There would be a notably impressive account of how you pulled your plug and with what final words a great soul came to pass, if you are world famous, and a personality of commendable influence or reach, and one that did not commit any socially malignant crimes.

They'll deck the halls with such grandeur, through which your lifeless body will be displayed for those eyes who came to witness a final glimpse of you.

The lovely words, spoken one last time of you,  will be those that the speaker has carefully sifted through from your passed life (prior to their final visit to you), in order to pick one quality of yours they recall or that one instance recollected about you which puts you in good light with them.

If they find none, well...since you're not gonna be around anymore, they will utter the first dozen beautiful adjectives that pop out their heads; no harm done!

If you were a most evil man or woman that ever existed or a most infamous personality who did nothing but suck the living life out of the good people around, there will definitely be great numbers marking the end of you, with a lot of joy and fanfare!!

Of course those closely knitted with such a person in terms of ideologies, sadistic thinking, and the common need to put one's singular needs over those of the remaining six billion or so; they will miss him/her with all genuineness.

Personally I can give comprehensive description and location of a certain spineless Machiavellian, a highly-functioning reprobate and his nefarious accomplice, who would fit this category (like a set of jigsaw pieces). No bounty on their necks so, I'll skip the Intel-proliferation.

The average person who earns his daily rights to eat, drink, breathe..with honest grind and toil, one who never compromised other's well-being to push forward their own prosperity, is among those whose birth and death, just revolves in the giant wheel of existence,..but makes no marked difference or impression on the rest of the world.

They will be remembered by a handful, but they, will be truly missed.. and maybe missed and reminisced by others until their own time arrives, to leave the world. - I want to be that..

Scratching at such a figment of fact though, is not only lobbying for demotivation, but also a sad waste of time. When the switch actually flicks, no one is best rehearsed or dressed. The whole train of thought seems pointless at this point, but its life on earth and its worth writing about or pondering.

Such an odd topic- Death!.. despise it, loath it,fear it.. it will but creep into us and our daily doings. Mocking death (our mortality) obviously makes everyone feel immortal, so let us all grow FUNNIER bones.
