Usually people think the biggest counter to death is love. What would man do without affection and affirmation from his surrounding. What would an incel live for.
But apart from love, there is solitude. And solitude is the second great trait of life on earth.
To walk out at the night, feeling the dry chill air closing tightly on you skin. To see the sun demise and set behind the blurry horizon. To get drunk to the point of soothing fatigue, to get lost in moments of kenotic ecstasy.
What is poetry about, apart from love? It's about solitude. About the darkness, the soothing nothingness that closes upon man at his gloomiest hours.
Everyone, even the loved ones, are solitary. As Franz Rosenzweig said, all that is mortal is solitary. What is love in the face of death? What is love in the face of a living dead.
Long live the dead. And praise be to the lonesome.
Our life is a gift and we need to die it out like the grace of a withering flower
