<p>The question of the train and the tracks make you pick between being responsible for killing one or four people, </p><p>It assumes that dying is sorrow, and that you're responsible for their death. </p><p>What if in their dying, it was liberation? And after saving lives of four they remained captive on the tracks? </p><p>What if they knew you were victim too? And the dilemma was never about ethics or logic? </p><p>What if it was never about what you will do? But what exactly are you? </p><p><br/></p><p>Well...</p><p>It transcends every spectrum, this life and death question.</p><p>Life and death are simply two edges of the same sword.</p><p>Life is good. You get to see, hear, touch, feel, walk, talk, f***, and eat junk. Death offers you the absence of all forms of senses.</p><p>Life isn't good. You experience every sorrow through the senses you appreciate. The heartbreak, the job loss, the bad news, the longing for others, depression, and anxiety. Death offers you peace, and nothingness.</p><p><br/></p><p>Hence, logically, life should not be appreciated, neither should death be stigmatised, and equal and fair trade. </p><p><br/></p><p>It doesn't make sense though, ethically. True.</p><p><br/></p><p>Humans tend to unconsciously love sorrow. Exactly why being bad, mischievous, self centered, is enabling and "cool.' </p><p>Humans love to lament our past experiences, displaying pain as painted canvas, as though healing still hurts when they only survive.</p><p><br/></p><p>Don't die.</p><p>But live knowing death comes bearing gifts too.</p>
