I find it immensely entertaining to read the obituary pages of my local newspaper.
Why?
Well, because of all of the bullshit in the short articles about each person. I’m not talking about wild claims of how good of a person they were. No. I’m talking about something even more hilarious.
It is the part that claims that they went somewhere that has me a bit baffled.
John went home to be with the Lord.
No. He didn’t.
He died. John went nowhere. He ceased to exist as John and became a near useless pile of biological matter. People can’t get their heads around death as a concept.
We simply can’t just die. We know all of these things. The human spirit lives on.
None of those things are true.
Death is a very appropriate word even if most people don’t understand what it truly means.
