Experiencing Death
What does it feel like to die?
The natural conclusion to collapse is death. The death of the environment, civilization, social norms, plants, animals and humans. This is the end result of our quest for indefinite growth, but rarely are the details discussed.
I do not wish to glorify death. Instead, by detailing the excruciating process, I hope to give the word greater meaning, forcing people to consider the consequences of their actions or at least appreciate their health.
Those who have never witnessed death only have media as a frame of reference, where it is usually portrayed as quick and conclusive. One moment someone is alive and the next they're dead. In some cases, there may be an implied dismantling of life - such as a character fighting cancer - but the suffering is muted and expedited for the sake of entertainment.
The masked reality is quite different.
Anyone who has witnessed death knows it is often messy, agonizing and frightening, dragging out for longer than you might expect. Personally, I've witnessed or managed three deaths. I consider myself lucky in that regard. (I realize this number only has one way to go.)
