Isn't death an uplifting subject?

Youth is such a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
                                                     --George Bernard Shaw--

And sleeping........ if it were only possible to sleep less than 9 or 10 hours and actually feel good waking up.....

And I don't only mean one party in this discussion, or another.


Hurry, before I have something on my mind again and my OCD catches up, leading to much forum-refreshing, and superfluous replies aplenty!

If that string quartet is deathly dull, then that's on the mark. What could possibly be more boring than dying? I think composers should be allowed to write pieces knowing that people will hate them., or with the intention of brewing loathing. Not that Shostakovich did that, but if the quote of his that was posted earlier is true, he comes close.

On the surface, most people don't want to die, and naturally will try to avoid it. Any interest besides that is considered morbid curiosity.
