The idea for this entry came from Dondino's blog.
Someday when I die, I won't take it against those I care about if they won't be able to make it to my wake and funeral. I'm perfectly fine with this. I'm contented to just fade away. But I hope that they would pray for my soul. And if those I leave behind have enough money, I would want to be cremated and my ashes thrown to the seas. That way, every All Souls Day they go to the beach instead of the cemetery. They could just pray for my soul and then enjoy the rest of the day at the beach. Maybe I should setup a Personal Cremation Fund. That way, those I leave behind don't have to spend a single peso out of their pockets to fulfill my wish.
It's too early to think about this right? :) But we can never be too sure... sometimes, my mind refuses to accept that I'll get to that point someday..
ReplyDeletethis may sound odd or funny or weird to you but i have thought about this (dying) many times more than, say, getting laid. honest! i even go to the extreme -- i ask people i believe are close to me or love me, "if i die, will you shed your tears?". most of those i ask glare at me and say, "you're f-king crazy man, why do you think about things like that?" to which they immediately change the topic. i wonder why most people never realize that death is part of life. but i still don't want to die. :D
ReplyDeleteEarly in a sense that we (I assume) don't want to die young. But I don't think it's too early to think about it.
ReplyDeleteFor a child, death would be the next great adventure. Considering that they all go to heaven.
For the oldies, to die is to rest.
For those in between, we don't want to die...yet.
