How to Cope With Your Father's Death (for Young People) - wikiHow

How to Cope With Your Father's Death (for Young People) - wikiHow

In the middle of my shift at work, I just felt this sudden pang of sadness. For the first time in months, I will admit of depression. I was having a hard time, always got the attitude, defensive, to the point of rude.

I don't really want to be a bother to people around me. I am aware of my strength, my weaknesses and it creeps me to find this 'loose thread' in myself. There is a part of me that wants to escape and just scream at the world: whattafuck, this is not true. I have always been rational, I have always been that person who is steps ahead.

So, in this malady of sadness and confusion of feelings, I found this article. Well, I read most of the first part before the video and it did made sense. What strikes me the most significant is that it tells people to embrace the naturalness of death. I agree, death is as natural as the pouring of rain, rising of the sun, and beating of the heart. I don't mind accepting death, I embrace it truly and will never deny its inevitability. Though, what's keeping me down is the fact that people make such a fuss over death.

Fine, that's their right, I have no say with what they believe in. Still, it annoys me. It depress me that they inflict their weakness on me. I refuse to their consolation. Death is natural but it is not a walk in the park. By death, I meant that of the people who are dear to us. Our own death is non-sense, we would never get to experience it, let the people who will bury us gloss over our death.

There are a lot of things more important than something we will never experience. So, this will be my last peep about death. rip...

wouldn't it be Nietzsche?

There cannot be a God because if there were one, 
I could not believe that I was not He.

Whenever I feel sad, disappointed or a little troubled, Friedrich Nietzsche quotes always get my hopes up. Maybe his carefree thoughts, his unflinching dispositions amuse me, maybe his views intrigue me and perhaps he just talks to me. 

I am very aware that if ever Nietzsche is alive and can read this, he will be disgusted by my fondness of him, and partly it consoles me that he is dead now. I am someone who is not so generous when it comes to fondness and affection, a slight slip can make me render a person mute and worthless. I detest the labels associated with human connection.

On one of my search, I came upon the site featuring The Nietzsche Family. It shows cartoons of a family quoting Nietzsche's works. I find the site fascinating and helpful -- it gives Nietzsche the cuteness most people will not attribute to him. 

In this particular cartoon on my page, the little girl asks the existence of god and why can't she be the god. This poses an argument on the qualities of a god, and what standard is keeping the human from achieving such status, if you may call it that. I can expound on this but I know I will just bore you. lol.

All I know is that Nietzsche is one of the most notable and admirable philosopher for me. I will try to post more about this guy and other philosophers as well.



For more Nietzsche quotes and the like here are some sites that I find helpful:
