Some say that Cyclopes, the one eyed creatures from Greek mythology, are cursed because they know the time of their death.
When I thought about it, I used to ask myself.
Then again, I thought about myself, and how I didn't have the slightest clue about my time.
I don't know. It may as well be a matter of choice.
Mm.. It's so easy to say it when they're just words.

Is it a curse, or is it, in fact, liberating?

Like you once said..the realization of death is what makes human seek meaning in their life..
ReplyDeleteAnd the knowledge of "when" will suffers us yet necessary...
well, I know a man who already foresee his time of death
ReplyDeleteand from what I see in him, is liberation
but I also see a man who already know the time of his execution
and from what I see in him, is a curse
wether it a curse or liberation, i think it depends on the quality of your life
I would certainly be the one for knowing the exact day as I can make a detail to do list before that.
ReplyDeleteBut this is just a daydream since the only certainty in life is uncertainties.
Knowing that is liberating.
I can assure you it's a curse..
ReplyDeletelook at cancer patient.. knowing everyday that you'll be dead soon..
or more simple look at HIV + patient..
don't see the suffering from their disease coz many can live a high quality life but still empty inside..
watch flashforward tv series it's a good movie to answer your questions i guess..
I'd rather know. I want to make a list too.
