death requires imagination

I thought, this is a good movie that got buried because of the convoluted name. Yes, not just good movies, but good movies. Like "Little Miss Sunshine", which was also released in 2006, it is both dark and humorous and full of warmth. The difference is that "Little Miss Sunshine" earned a lot of money, while "Darwin Award" has remained unknown to this day.

But what makes me want to write something, not because it's a good movie that gets overlooked, but because it's kind of healing. After learning about my mother's condition at the end of 2006, I became morbidly afraid of death, including myself and the people around me who I love dearly.

So, from then on, I didn't drink any beverages, didn't eat any pickled, grilled or fried food, and even went vegan for half a year after reading a book whose main point was "meat causes cancer." When I saw the hero in the movie tied himself up because he was afraid of slipping in the bathtub, I burst into tears at first, but I couldn't laugh anymore, because that's not who I used to be, because Fear of death and bound myself, eating vegetarian until the poop is green.

Death, a word that seems decidedly black, can turn out to be comical and imaginative. I want to know what the idiot who thinks the glass in his office is invincible is thinking when he falls down from a high building, and I also want to know what happens when the guy who drives the car like a rocket flies into the air and hits the hillside. What are you thinking. Maybe in the last ten seconds, all they thought was, wow, I'm going to die.

Nevertheless, like the hero, I suddenly realized that death may be just ketchup that looks like blood. When you slowly walk towards it, you will be very worried and feel that it is terrifying, but it really comes When you think about it, all you think is that it turns out that death is nothing more than that. Therefore, the fear of death is not the fear of death itself, but the fear of its unknownness.

So, I decided to stop being afraid of death. Instead of trembling every day, afraid of getting cancer, it is better to live vigorously. Death can be ridiculous or funny, just like the fat man who was smashed by a falling car, even if it turns into a bloody meat sauce, it is especially for watching a bloody rock show.
