Death and Green Lights

Here are two concepts to make you think outside the 'norm'.

Greenlights' by Matthew McConaughey inspired me to interpret the concept of death and 'Green lights' in my own way, and here they are:

Concept 1:

Green lights mean go. They don't interfere with our direction and they're easy. However, they can also be disguised as red lights. A caution, detour, or interruption.

My interpretation:

We live our lives describing things, situations, people, and actions as red flags. We're quick to judge, quick to dismiss, and quick to move on.

We rarely stop to appreciate these 'red lights' and their impact on our lives.

Why aren't we seeing the 'red flags' as green lights to listen to our intuition, to pivot direction, or to learn a lesson?

Because when you think about it, every cause of friction is a sign of resistance to the ease of its opposite.

And when you lean into the green light and listen to your intuition, you have the answer you need from the red light itself.

Concept 2:

The arrival is inevitable: Death.

My interpretation:

We're all here living our lives waiting for it. Navigating the day-to-day.

We accept that it is coming. We don't know when or how. But we live the approach accepting the inevitable arrival of it.

And it is an arrival. So why do we perceive it as an end?

If we live through the lens that we will arrive, we can live through this experience as though we are fluid and eternal.

Our life doesn't end at death. It only begins.

It's reading someone else's words that can sometimes inspire you to think a little differently and shed a new way of thinking onto ideas and philosophies you may not have thought about yet.
