Love & Death

 Love and Death are more alike than you know. Why?

Perhaps because both attract men in an eerily similar way. Man is curious about both and knows of none. Maybe he never will.

You see, we happen to believe what others say. Refer to books and celluloid for their emotions, music and poetry to muse on both in thousands of metaphors and millions of stories. But what if love isn't all that? What if the afterlife is different? What if what we have learnt of both is just how we put it in our imagination? Has anyone who experienced death ever told us of it?

Can anyone experience love the same way as another?

What if all your life you chase these attractions and never find an answer?

Funny, how Love is exactly like Death. Yet people want the one which they rarely find and fear the other, they will inevitably reach.
