I’m sorry that this article isn’t another list of reasons something is how it is. But I figure I want to share the things that actually come to my mind. How unbelievable it is that as human beings we are so incredibly fragile.

There are so many things that could damage us instantly any day at any time, but they don’t. Why is that? Could there really be a god overseeing all that happens, does this god have any say in what does? I don’t know what I believe in. At some point in life I thought that I did, there were many things I thought I believed in. But, is there really fate? Can we escape the things that could be potentially written in stone for us at birth or will it end up like a “Final Destination” movie?

We build machines to be able to kill in an instant and are surrounded others that have the ability to, even if that wasn’t their purpose. The thing is that we could all live in fear of the many things that can hurt us, but we choose not to. We choose to go about every day of our life not knowing what will happen or thinking about what can. Even if we do think about it once in a while, it doesn’t really stop us from doing what we were going to do anyway. We hear ‘death’ and become afraid, sad, uncomfortable, because it’s unknown and as humans we are afraid of what we don’t know.

The truth is that there are so many ways to die but we choose to do scary things anyway, and say that we did it and lived. I mean, how many of us have secretly wanted to survive a plane wreck or fire or anything horrifying and tragic in such an amazing way. It’s a creepy thing to think such a bad thought, and none of us say it out loud, but it still goes on in our heads. Death and life are both just fragile subjects in more ways than one.
