this is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss, so im going to keep a running tab on thoughts here till i come to my own conclusion. tolstoy, ghandi, martin luther king jr., gk chesterton. and the list of pacifist's grow. this should seem like such an easy and logical decision. war= not good. death. killing. peace= contentment, stability, life. but when you have grown up in a country where the church, state, and weaponry have all blurred into the same entity it is a much harder decision to come to. there are SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on this blog, just read through the comments! my LORD! you guys are brillant. ang said "There is a time and a place for everything, it depends on the situation." but i would like to hear the situations in which violence is necessary. defend yourself? your family? but what about war, when do we have to kill? 'one murder made a villain, millions a hero'. your right ang this is hard because i would defend my family to the death wh...

life is death and death is life. we should just live our lives while we can, before it is too late, because it truly is inevitable. i just personally try to fly into the future on inspiration's wings.
if you ever have some free time from being a musician/philosopher you should give it a skim :)
personally, i'll stick to only having to die once.
Thanks for the thought.

Those of us in the prime of our youth find it hard to believe that we are destructable.
Service instead of selfishness.

and not let it just past by
dont let depression get in the way of dreams

So it might seem like an odd post on your 10,951st day on earth, but thirty is a solemn place to be. I agree with the earlier comment,I miss your older posts. Don't grow up too much! Neverland is an alright place to be! Don't be in a hurry to burn it down.

Death and Birth alike exist in cyclical chaos - every moment yields both, neither keep time
It is not Death that we all fear- it is leaving this overwhelmingly incredible place and those we cherish. Fear of no longer being able to have what makes us alive!
Far too strong is our ability to wield emotion - so powerful that right in the middle of all our worry and fear - the biggest point is overlooked.
Don't fear what is not in our control, instead spend each moment of being alive with the knowledge that every new day you are given another chance to be here. Do as much as you can to make it good for yourself and the life forms you share the planet with.
Ultimately death will come - This is only the point of change, forever we all will play a role in life...whatever your belief
We're so fixated on having the perfect bodies and prolonging our lives...
but what happens when you don't wake up in the morning? Or you don't ever come home from the midnight drive?
What are people going to say about us after we're gone?
What are we leaving behind, guys?
there doesn't seem to be a lot these days, what with the disillusionment of the material world.
i just think its incredibly SCARY because it can strike without warning .. says the fifteen year old kid .
some days, i think about those people who were too afraid to live .. and then sometimes i think about those people that never lived enough .
i just love the truth of that statement . i really do . WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE .
PS . you should watch this movie called mr. nobody . its a french foreign film, i believe . its really beautiful . its about the choices we make in life, and its about living your life to the fullest .
