Death, is something unavoidable, even the mightiest of any culture would meet their final day - if there's a beginning, there's an end.
A woman recently charged for keeping the mummified bodies of her late husband and her twin sister in her home. The elderly woman was reported that (didn't kill them but) she loved her late husband and sister too much to let them go. It is true, death is hard to deal with, but would anyone go this far?
Myths and fables were invented during ancient time to explain things that can not be explained - and plenty of stories were invented to explain why is there death to begin with? On the other hand a number of scientists came up with the assumption that the universe started with the big bang and will die out in many many many years.
When the end is unavoidable, given there is a beginning, the word "Forever" seems more of a myth than anything else - can this word be the ultimate myth of life?
People don't deal with changes well. Change of season can make people sad; change of billing structure make people worse; ultimately, a love ones passing can bring out the most passion of the least compassionate of us.
So many people embrace the word "Forever", and in a relationship, can there be points in time that anyone can relate to the word "Forever"? Is the word "Forever" a cheap decoy for someone who tries to stay in a point in time for the rest of their lives?
It seems to be true that lots of people believe they reached the goal in life once they got married or given birth of a child. But life can be a bit more complicated, sometime it can take one to so many directions, and there can be many many more milestones and achievements beyond wedding or childbirth and until one's last breath.
Wicked can not help to wonder, can these events that people considered as life goals, in fact social conventions that distracts people from actually making an effort? Can stop making an effort ultimately the cause of the social mass of "old married boring couple"? Why people stop making an effort after reaching a certain milestone? Are they just waiting to die?
Recently a love one of Wicked had passed. She and her sister were very sad, but instead of listening to what people say to "seal the deal" with Chrisyero and consider proposing to him, this inspired Wicked to make as much effort as possible to live each day and to feel fulfilled as much as possible for any day, because any day can be her or his last. She would rather focus on making an effort every time when she is with Chrisyero rather than settling within a conventional timeline; she rather keep demanding what she considered to be the essence of a relationship instead of completed the course of formality which had been highly recommended to her. Just because they're selling to you, doesn't mean you have to buy it. ("I don't want a coffin, I want a mirror ball!" she said)
Relationship, although important to Wicked, can ultimately be optional. Reaching a certain milestone (in a relationship) does not mean one had prepared for his/her forever - it only means it was a very very good day - perhaps is would be an opportunity to ask oneself to make better effort to make the following days to be as good, or if possible, better than the one before.
