Hearing of the passing of someone my age last month stirred in me a profound awe of life and a deep dread of mortality. The passing of someone our age can be particularly distressing, even though we are accustomed to hearing of people dying every day. Although death may be a relief, it is impossible to ask the deceased if they felt the same way after their lives were cut short in an instant.
Reflecting on the years I have lived, 24 years is neither long nor short - it is a reminder of how quickly time passes. It is impossible to know when our last breath will be, yet we rarely take the time to recognize the preciousness of the breath we have at this moment and how many are striving for this single second of life; it is beyond comprehension. It is commonly said that we only understand the value of something when it is gone, but this sentiment does not hold in this case. If we're already not breathing, what's the point that we learn from this misfortune? What a living joke.
Humans are continually exploring the purpose of their being on this earth, for Life has a beginning and an end, suggesting there must be a greater meaning to its presence. I guess what people call "death is liberation" is also liberation from constantly seeking the answer.
I still vividly remember a line from Avatar 2, "All the energy is borrowed and will be returned one day". We are all just passers-by in this world, so no matter what we encounter, it does not matter. You and I are just passing through, you came to my life, I came to your life, we met, I stayed, you stayed, but like said, One day, life will return to its original starting point, and you and I exist and pass away only in the Exterminator's snapping fingers, so let's be kind, life is good.
上个月，我又听到一个同龄人去世的消息，我再一次被带入到那种对生命的疑惑和对死亡的恐惧之中。虽然我们每天都会听到有人离世的消息，但是往往同龄人的离世带来的冲击感会更强一些。活了同样长短的人生，却怎么也想不到自己却成为了灭霸弹一个响指后的victim，都说死亡是一种解脱，但是，咱又不能问死者，你解脱了吗？这些只是一种猜测而已。
我开始回想我所经历的人生，这么一算，24年说短不短，说长不长，时间真的会飞逝。我们真的无法预测我们哪一秒会停止呼吸，却又经常不用心感受仅有的、属于此时此刻的呼吸所拥有的强大生命力，有多少个生命为了这一秒的呼吸而挣扎着，我无法想象。都说失去后才懂得珍惜，但是，在这一事实当中，这一说法毫无说服力，都失去了最后呼吸的机会，我又怎么总结这次失去带给我的教训，真是个living joke.
人生有始有终，来到人世肯定是有它的一个存在意义的，而人类不停的在追寻着存在于世的使命，我很好奇，离世的人们有没有找到他们想要的答案？估计人们所说的”死亡是解脱“也就是从不停的寻求答案的道路上解脱吧。
阿凡达2中的一段台词，我至此无法忘记。，”All the energy is borrowed and will be returned one day“，我们都是这个世界的过客而已，所以无论遇到何事，都无大碍，只要你还有一口气，你还是可以靠这个borrowed energy来寻找你想要的答案。你我都是过客，你来到我的生命，我来到你的生命，我们相遇，我停留了，你也停留了，but like said, One day, life will return to its original starting point,而你我的存在和离世只在响指间，so lets be kind, life is good.
