Memento Mori ...

Mori, Mourir, Mortal... 


We all gonna die, and we know that very well. The question is probably, are you ready to die? 


Just like what I have written as my footer for my blogpost, 'I'm only a piece of dust', reminds me that I'm not much as a person. I won't be. What you will be becoming in your life is something you will leave and won't go with you when you die. Your money, your title, your fame, all sort of things. Yet, what you leave and WHOM you leave are what matter. 


I don't know how I am gonna die. I don't know when. But I know what I would leave... and whom. Will they cry? Will they miss me? My ego always demands such questions to be answered. Innocently (or, it's just me being stupid) I ask to some people who are very close to me, whether they're going to cry when I'm gone. Silly... they just said YES  very loudly with their faces shocked and all, then they would ask, "Are you alright?"


The problem is I'm a cybergirl. I don't hang out with REAL FRIENDS a lot. Maybe because I don't have many of them. I didn't contact with people who were considered as my bestest friends in high school. I only contacted with 2 people from my junior high and another 2 from my grade school. I didn't completely contact my kindergarten, all of them might probably have forgotten about me. I keep contacting my great friends who are mostly foreigners and stay in their countries, far away from Indonesia. We talk through Skype, emails, myspace, blogs, Facebook and Blackberries.


This blog is one of the way to tell me what's happening with me and all the details, in hoping that we are able to know about each other well and deeper each day like normal friendships. I wonder, what if I die. How could I tell them when I die? When I die OBVIOUSLY, I can't turn on my laptop myself and tell my friends, "Hey, buddies, I'm dead!" 


I have protected my laptop with some password, email with another password, and everything is under password. Can someone (my friend here or my family) use my password right? I mean, if I share them my password to reach the access of my facebook, emails and all to tell my friends abroad when I'm gone, can they really use the password when I'm gone? I MEAN, when I'm REALLY GONE. (Read: DIED)


My fam or friend could use the password when I'm still alive. Why? They surely know that there are millions of secrets I have been keeping in this laptop. If there aren't any, I won't keep with strict password. They understand it sooo well. 


So, yeah... I'm not an internationally famous person that if I'm passed away, the news would be on me and that way would let my friends abroad will know. I'm not. Will my abroad friends kinda looking for me when I don't show up for a long time on the net? My family and local friends doesn't know how to reach them. 


For facebook, actually it has been rumoured that they will make their platform to have an access for a friend to declare that the Person A has died and his account would not probably updated. So the other friends who live far away and not in the friendship circle that much would be informed about the death. It would work like when you declare that your friend's account is hacked. But it has been in the queue line for Facebook to develop. 


Once I saw an account of my friend's friend who has died. His friends reduced to 11. Well, people deleted him since he passed away. Somehow, don't you feel a bit sad to remove your friend though he won't longer use his account? 


Anyway... what would you if you were me? What will you do in advance to have your abroad friends informed of your future death? I'm gonna die soon... I have to think of a way.


... or would they even care?


And how would they think of you when they know you're gone forever? Ahh, so many things to think about only for 'to die'...
