// Sweet Rain

Tell me, what do you think about death?

That’s my line.

Answer me anyway.

Death is nothing special.

That’s right. Everyone dies someday, so it’s not special at all. But that’s easy for you to say. I mean you see lots of people as they die. But you don’t see any of them as they live. So you don’t really know life. That’s the reason you can say death is nothing special.

Is life special?

Against the whole world or all of history, one life is nothing special. But for those of us living it, it’s very important.

Not special, but important?

Yes. The sun in the sky is nothing unusual. But it’s important that it be there. Death’s like that, maybe.
