Default Death sucks

I was going through some old pics today. I loved my old dog Beauregard. If I ever talk to God I am going to tell him what I think about this bullshit.

Pisses me off. What do ya think?

I always wondered why good people had to die. I guess the same applies to animals as I have had some loyal hearts in that crowd too.

One of life's big mysteries for me is how come worthless pieces of humanity (are we thinking Castro here?) are allowed to languish and death takes swiftly the sweetly innocent and the noble.

I think every person has their cycle, and I also tend to think that like the song "only the good die young" - which is why my time is almost up, .

Not to get all philosophical, but according to metaphysical studies, it is suffering to be on this planet (as you are here to learn from your tribulations), so death is more like liberation and the achievement of your life goal to further the development of your soul. Sucks for those left behind though,

And maybe we're given a task or tasks and when it is complete we move on.
Gandhi, MLK, Ceasar Augustus. So perhaps there are reasons undesirables exist. (To help us appreciate life before and after them?) Caligula, Attila the Hun, Hitler.
Points to ponder, as they say.

How would you know what is good, if there were no bad? How would you know that you are happy if you were never sad? Almost sounds like a bad country song, lol. I had a very close death in my family at a very young age, so I am very realistic when it comes to the concept of my own death.

If you continue on the metaphysics theory, you actually choose your life, as a means of learning what you need to learn, so it explains a lot of the misery in the world, and puts your suffering a little more into perspective. Of course the choice to learn is always yours, so if you avoid the lesson, you miss out. Very interesting stuff,
