Today I am with my lifelong friend, Alvin Bautista. Earlier this morning, as we were eating, he told me ghost stories about a "great man who will take you". That boy is so stupid at times, but I treasure his companionship.
He began to talk about... unnerving things. I have always pondered about death. Without nana and papa, I had no spiritual guidance growing up. I no longer believe in God, devils, angels, or demons. There are no signs. Of course, I pushed these thoughts to the back of my mind; until Alvin began to muse about his own death.
He believes that death is something we began in and will return to. Death is the time before and after life. But... nonexistence is before life...
Could this be the answer? Are we born into this world only to be taken back?
