Happy Monday!!!
And Happy Memorial Day!
Today I'm spending out in the woods with my dog and my good friend, Timmy, in memory of a birthday that won't be celebrated today, but I have a new Bethanyism for you to ponder for the week.
And Happy Memorial Day!
Today I'm spending out in the woods with my dog and my good friend, Timmy, in memory of a birthday that won't be celebrated today, but I have a new Bethanyism for you to ponder for the week.
For those new readers, you can read this post for
the explanation on what a Bethanyism is. I post a new one every Monday
with the hope that they will inspire, make you think or spark some creativity, either in
myself or others.
life asked death, "Why do people love me but hate you?" death responded, "Because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth." |
Today would have been Matthew's 31st birthday, and with this milestone approaching I have been thinking a lot about life and death and the beauty of both.
I don't necessarily see life as a lie. It's a possibility. It's a dream. It can be whatever you want it to be, make it whatever you decide you want it to be. It can be a lie, it can be perfect, it can be broken, it can be wasted, it can be fulfilling.
But in the end, death is the painful truth. Everyone dies. It's concept that humans have been fighting since the beginning of time. We struggle to explain it to children, because even as adults, we struggle to explain it to ourselves. I honestly believe that only in death, can you know the truth.
What do you think about this week's quote?
Love it?
Hate it?
