Ready to Go

If we were brutally honest with ourselves,
we would admit we don’t know a thing
about death. We know we don’t like it
very much. We know it saddens, angers
and frightens us. The truth, however, is
we don’t know a thing about it.
It’s not unusual then to find ourselves looking through religious writing, philosophical thought
or urban legend in the hope of discovering one small clue to the mystery that is ‘What happens
next?’
The reality is we will never know. Yet we continue the search fuelled by the deep desire of never
wanting to be referred to in the past tense.
READY TO GO? reminds us that to enjoy a happy, peaceful death (what makes you think there
isn’t some satisfaction or joy in our last moments?) we must be happy that we lived our life as
crazy, or as calm as we wanted.
Possessions are not barriers to happiness.
Humility is completely misunderstood and is no longer a virtue but a courtesy.
Our fear of death may be nothing more than the fact we don’t like surprises.
READY TO GO? will not protect us from a life less crazy, but it will insure we are not left
attempting to view life with our head in the sand and our bum in the air. A position, I’m sure
you would agree, we wouldn’t want to be caught dead in.
READY TO GO? emphasizes the fact that THIS is our moment. THIS is our once in
a lifetime.
