I'm going to pack up my Pc and probably my drum kit for real this time. I'll just do a little planning tonight to make sure this is not a stupid move. stupid move. Stupid. move.
To live is to die? That's so true! Does that mean we live just to die? Some people die without having to live. But no one lives without having to die. So, that would mean the sole end purpose of living is to... die? That makes sense even though it's not what everyone wants to hear. Maybe that's why this whole concept of heaven, hell, the afterlife, and rebirth was 'invented'. Because we're to afraid to admit that, to live is to die...

Let's get something straight. Life is definitely not a box of chocolates(you never know when you gonna get some). Some people starve the moment they start living, and keep starving till the day they kick the bucket. Even after that bucket is kicked, they starve. Eventually they die. Others are born with silver spoons, forks, knives and other forms of cutlery in their mouths. To feel pity for the former is natural, to boot lick the latter is also natural. But for some reason the one who shows pity is held as the just man.
According to Socrates(from a really really long discussion from Republic II), the man who seems unjust is more just than the just man who seems just, given that the seemingly unjust man has just intentions. In simpler terms, think about the movie "the Dark Knight". In this movie, the seemingly unjust man (at the end of the movie) is the Batman. But the just man who is not as just as the seemingly just man is Harvey Dent. See, Dent wanted justice, fairness and yadayadayada. In return, he was treated with respect, assured candidacy as mayor in a few years. See? The Batman was obviously more reasonable, more just, in a sense, especially in the end. But he was seen as the unjust man. And treated like an ass.
How and why did I bring up these ridiculous topics? Death magnetic of coarse. How obvious. Couldn't you tell from the blog post title?
