Perhaps your relationships will break down.You will have bad days
The odds are stacked that sadness will strike -
usually when you least expect.You do not need to "cheer up"
Nor to "put on a happy face".Keep that skull on your desk.
You will get there yet.Those who passed knew this too
Denial of pain and death is another form of suffering(even for Buddhists!
Ask the Dalai Lama when he can return to Tibet-and who will succeed him?
My friend works dressing the dead.She is ill.Cannot afford health care.
My father worked digging graves.I was an altar boy @funerals.
My friends are growing older .Some have already left their bodies.
There is an end to every body/every thing ends.Attitude is not all.
Biology and physiology ,history and genetics have roles to play.
This is not any reason to get depressed.
Consider Leonard Cohen ,Tom Waits,blues singers
Singing your soul may not change poverty-but it lifts your mood.
And every line may not be golden-even aluminium shines
Every day has a dark night.Every body dies.
Look on the dark side.
