Curse of Death

The Gift of Life

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

It is not a curse that we die.

It is not a horrible fate.

It is not bad.

It is simple.

Death is a gift.

Life cannot exist without it.

Death must occur to grant life.

The only reason we have come to hate it.

To be depressed by it.

To fear it.

Is because we live.

Because we exist to place value.

And that judgement we all make,

Is that life is greater than death.

Something we could never do

If death didn't make way for us to be.
