" On Susan Sontag "

" On Susan Sontag "

Susan Sontag said,
"Death is the opposite of everything!"
But,
What she left out
Was
That it's also the beginning........

Susan Sontag, wow just saw this write at the corner of my eye, T... I recently sat through a 2 hour documentary on her life; fascinating lady, had an intense way of studying someone asking her a question; intimidating but iconic literary voice, and yeah that quote I do remember very well, can't really say if she's right or wrong, but haven't heard much from her since she passed, thought provoking write bro.  how did I miss this one?

Susan Sontag is without doubt one of the most important poetic voices of America, Director of film, writer and pacifist, with his premature death at the age of 61 years the world image and literature lost one of its most important figures. The work of Sontag has served and still serves as inspiration for filmmakers, writers, poets and artists in general.
 

I agree with the New Yorker author, death means an end, but it can also be a beginning or the beginning of anything.

A greeting.

Cherie words are very interesting and put the finger just on the wounds of death and disease. Does not fear death, but pain, poverty, defencelessness and all the suffering that precedes the agony, perhaps that is the reason why is so necessary to legislate laws in favour of euthanasia, an individual right which does not obligate anyone to make use of it, but that gives the possibility to the terminal of dying in dignified and pleasant way sick. A greeting.
