S’enterrer vivant :<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

C’est une v\u00e9ritable honte de s’enterrer vivant ; de se fabriquer un cercueil alors que l’on est encore dans la force de l’\u00e2ge ; ce sont pourtant des choses qui arrivent.<\/em><\/p>\n

Les gens cherchent la s\u00e9curite en ce bas monde ; ils sont \u00e0 la recherche de sens et d’un endroit s\u00fbr, mais pour y parvenir, ils ferment les choses au lieu de les ouvrir.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ils se couchent d’eux-m\u00eames dans le cercueil et refusent d’en sortir m\u00eame s’ils sont \u00e0 l’\u00e9troit, puis ils demandent m\u00eame \u00e0 quelqu’un de clouer le couvercle !<\/em><\/p>\n

“Enfin en s\u00e9curit\u00e9 !” proclament-ils, emprisonn\u00e9s dans l’obscurit\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

Qui peut dire \u00e0 quel moment le train-train quotidien devient un tombeau ou qu’une certitude devient un cercueil ?<\/em><\/p>\n

Enterr\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 83 ans, d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 31 ans.<\/em><\/p>\n

Too much tomb soon:<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a shame if we reach our tomb too soon; if we build a coffin for ourselves while still in our prime; though, as we know, it does happen.<\/em><\/p>\n

People search for security in this world; they want meaning, a sure and certain place, but seek it by closing things down rather than opening things up.<\/em><\/p>\n

They wall themselves in, cramped but held, and then even ask someone to nail down the lid!<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Safe at last!’ they proclaim, lying trapped in the darkness.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who can say when a groove becomes a grave, or a belief becomes a box?<\/em><\/p>\n

Buried aged 83; died aged 31<\/em><\/p>\n
