Death: Enjoying her life Article by Stafffighter, 04:57 PM 06th Jul I apologize for my extended absence, priorities sting us all sometimes. Disclaimer: The following opinions are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the other endless crew staff. In fact they all disagree with me and persecute me regularly. Quick overview: When existence started so did the forces that regulate it. While older than anything else they apparently came into being in an order. To this day none of them get to simply exist; they have to live, even Death. There come times were many of us feel as if we’ve become our job, that existence is decided by what we do rather than who we are. Empathy for this state must exist to understand Death who, like the rest of her family, is her job. Death is death, along with other functions. While hardly human in scope the principles of the mind remain and can be explored allowing for the transitions of someone for whom theorem and philosophy is matter of fact in every day life. Death appears to be a cheerful young woman. While different frames of life have different images of young, cheerful and female she remains constant in theme out of choice. Her family is, to simplify it, embodiments of will. So this simplifies matters beyond mere recognition for us because as large as the concept might be we can be assured that she is exactly what she appears to be. Death can perhaps be best explained in the well known system of the stages of coping with her. Those stages are of course denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Given that she has existed as long as anything documentation for analysis for all is beyond feasibility. What we do have is evidence of her in both the first stage and the last, which I should remind you meant to be more a plain than a peak of any sort. In the beginning Death saw the point to little as she knew all would come to her at its time. While a bit into herself for this she did not seem to use this to actively reap any pleasures from her existence. To say she was in denial of herself is by no means a misnomer as while she preformed her function she lacked any sense of self inside if. Since then device has shown her another perspective that she seems to have taken to much more keenly. Once per century, through enforcement or practice I’m in no place to say, Death takes a day off to live as a mortal. The idea is that she would learn what it was to live and thus to die. This seems to have had the desired effect as in modern, again an ideal far grander to her than us, existence Death is hardly the gothic figure she once was. In fact she’s as dismissive as her social nature will allow to such behavior. It would seem that she has come to the final stage of coping, acceptance. In this of course it means that she has accepted herself. Rather than seeing herself as inevitable and thus negating the point she sees that the bits between the inevitable are the point. If someone who knows the answers can find piece with them then there might be hope for those of us who still use up our mortality asking questions. Disagree? Bring it up on the forum. Suggestions?
