Life and Death: An Observation

I am currently working on another long entry, but for now it occurred to me that I don't have to make every post epic. So I have decided to post little things that have been interesting thoughts to me. They may be neither interesting nor insightful, but hopefully they'll pique some curiosity.

Here's my interesting thought for today, "While Life and Death are polar opposites, Living and Dying are the same action."

No two entities could be more diametrically opposed than Life and Death. They have the same relationship as Good and Evil, Hot and Cold, and Light and Dark. However, Living and Dying are synonymous terms. Both words describe the process of moving from one end of existence to the other. The only distinction between these two words is their connotation. One says the glass is half empty. The other says the glass is half full. That really comes down to the matter. Doesn't it? Are you Living or are you Dying? The moment you were born, you began a trajectory toward the end of your existence on Planet Earth, but how is that existence playing out? It's worth thinking about. Are you living, or are you dying?
