In an uncertain world where the unexpected must be expected and we are kept on our toes to be mindful of hidden dangers, the one constant not dictated by man or it's various contraptions is the great equalizer, the one inevitable, certain outcome of all who is and will ever be, is Death. Yes, Death, the boogeyman that lurks behind every dark corner and whose mere mention brings an unnatural chill to the warmest hearth.
Boo! I am Death and I haunt you in every unguarded moment of your life. I turn grown men into sniffling children and the most gay affair into a pallid play of uneasy silence and long stiff drinks. Fear me for I hold the ironclad chains about your wilted neck and by my permission do you make false merriment and see the light of another misery drenched day!
Thus do we seek distraction when we hear the rattle of Death's chain. Thus do we plainly ignore the prudent and the obvious.
If Death is the inevitable and the unpredictable, why should we fear it and hide from it? Why should we not make it a part of our lives and live with Death as a constant and faithful companion so that we can live freely? Know that Death is always at hand and accept it, live with it, but live happily and carefree. Be prepared every moment for Death's final embrace but do not live under it's shadow. Talk about Death. Talk about your final wishes. Make a will. Make the journey of life knowing you have a companion that will never leave you and take good care of him. And if "Death" doesn't suit you, give him a new name. "Harry" or "Enrique" or "Sir Loin of Beef"--you wouldn't be the first person to give a nickname to a part of your anatomy.
