Yep, we all die.

But before I die I plan on living a bit more.

You can wallow in all the self pity you like, but the abyss won't get any deeper or blacker if you choose to look away from it every once in a while.

Nor will deciding to ignore the abyss make it any less deep and black when you stumble into it.

There's a long distance between obsessing on the abyss and ignoring it completely.

It seems that the people stuck at either end can't see the path between.

Good point! ;)
