With all the sayings and phrases out there, are we trivializing death?


Death by Chocolate.

"Its to die for"

Isn't that killer?



Kinda makes death seem insignificant


and who came up with "Death by Chocolate" ... they seriously must hate us in Ethopia..
"here... have a whole dessert made from gobs and gobs of chocolate.... so much chocolate you will just DIE from it"

Death can be a form of entertainment. Once you cast aside your humanity, it's easy to make fun of the sounds and faces people make as they die.

Clearly I haven't cast aside enough of my humanity.

What exactly am I looking at? I think I see a person, just staring at the doorway from across the room?

Yeah. People die all the time in stupid, pointless ways. It sucks but at the same time you can't be in perpetual "tragedy mode" whenever you hear about someone getting needlessly killed. You just have to accept that these things happen all the time.

Death is insignificant; afterall, everyone does it. Infact, I know people who are still dead. They'll never do that again! :p
