Last night, I asked my dad if he knew who Eddie Vedder, Eminem or Bono are... he said no. Then, I asked him if he knew who Kurt Cobain was... and he said... yes... the singer who blew his head off... the voice of his generation...
Death is part of the circle of life... anything that is born is destined to die sooner or later... we are all dying... every day we live we are but one step closer to death... and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it...
Death is necessary... because only after death one can be reborn!... As the Boss would say "Everything dies, baby, that's a fact... maybe everything that dies someday comes back"... I believe everything comes back... but upgraded.
Some products are put on the market and they are good but not great... but they have potential... so they need to be taken off the market... they are sent back to the lab... get a new look... get a new taste... and they come back as a great product... new and improved!
A friend told me the other day that maybe it was not the right time for death... that something that is still breathing and living should not be killed before its time... He is wrong!... When something good dies before it is supposed to... it becomes great... legendary... Take Mr. Cobain, for example... Would he be considered a legend, a hero, the voice of his generation if he was still alive... I think not... Cobain became a legend only because he died in the prime of his life... before he was supposed to.... and you know what?... the exact same thing happened to Jesus... Would Jesus had been what he is today if he had died an old and faded man?... Think about it... Jesus needed to die to be reborn on the third day... if something is killed on a Wednesday... can we expect it to be reborn by Friday... with glass of wine in hand?
So, my friends.... let us not be sad but rejoice... for death has taken place so a new life can begin... one that will live forever... the everlasting fire...
And that seed that we are planting now... in the spring will become... the rose!
