The Lady and the Reaper


"The Lady and the Reaper"
Written and directed by Javier Recio Gracia



I came across this video today and was expecting to be weeping. Instead, I laughed and found it to be quite brilliant and well done.

Storyline : A sweet old lady is living alone in her farm, waiting for the arrival of death to meet her beloved husband again.

The older I get, the more I am convinced that there is no afterlife. Do I rule it out completely? Of course not. However, so many things point towards this being our only shot at life. No 72 virgins in an afterlife paradise. No embracing Jesus as our Bridegroom in heaven (do men also hope to be the Bride of Christ?). 

And unfortunately, no reuniting with family members and friends who have passed away. It makes me sad, but it also allows me to fully appreciate people every day, while they are still with me. Besides, the thought of sucking Jesus's dick for all of eternity doesn't seem appealing to me. At all.
