I was just listening to See You Again, the song used in the Paul Walker tribute in Fast and Furious 7. It's a beautiful song, and the vocals by Charlie Puth are filled with emotion. I find a lot of beauty in the message of the song, that it's a rough time without the people we love that have died, but we'll be able to share it with them again. But then my mind reconnects with reality and I remember that the truth is much sadder, and the people we love are most likely just gone forever. I hate believing this sometimes. It's not fair, but there's nothing to be done about it. I know that ultimately once I'm dead, the lack of an afterlife won't matter to me, but that doesn't keep me from occasionally feeling rage at the unfair finality of death.
Does anyone else ever feel conflicted between songs or ideas that you find beautiful and harsh truth that they are ultimately just comforting lies?
