Spanish poet Antonio Machado wrote, “Between living and dreaming there is a third thing. Guess it.” Give us your guess. (U of Chicago)
Death is sandwiched between living and dreaming. I would not know if there was anything similar between the two, but there are people who have experienced it and know what it is like. Jesus, Buddha, Hindu gods/ goddesses etc. Life starts, you die, and people remember you in their dreams for you. For some reason everyone mentioned here; had returned to change the world. Death changes the world, and influences the surroundings next to you. Probably the gods felt they were losing popularity, so they cheated death and came back to life to keep everyone and everything working in good condition. Death sucks; it cannot do a good job of keeping the dead, dead and taking people at their own time. Just imagine if all the great, honorable, savage, killer people who died did not die. They would have had a different legacy, maybe a different view of way the world saw them, maybe they would have changed themselves, but that does not happen since death runs on fate or destiny or other kind’s dung. The reason i think death is sandwiched in the center is because when we are alive and breathing, we space out, unconsciously our mind gets taken over by something we do not know about. I do not know why they say it naturally happen, why do we space out, what takes over minds and leaves us alone, making us deaf to everything around us. Has our time come, or does death just keeps reminding us to snap out of it, or fool us into believing what we feel, and slowly take us away.
