Tell me about feeling

Can you watch this from start to finish and feel absolutely nothing?

This is very beautiful... Lovely animation and a well thought out concept

It stirs up all kinds of feelings some of which I can't describe or pin point...

I, myself struggle with the fear of death, and dying.. I have always thought of it as something terrifying and painful

The way it was depicted here ...as something peaceful and necessary ...brought me some relief but was also unnerving....

Even the spirit of death being conflicted about taking away the animal's life... Is well... I dunno... Its a hard feeling to describe

Thanks for the watch 🙂

Exactly! I agree with @Cancan26. The feeling is something I can't pinpoint. I wasn't anxious at any point. It's beautiful. The deer seemed to have embraced death n died in peace.

OMG! I can't understand the meaning but it's a tear jerker for sure!

Was that deer old and died of age and Death waited until it's time?

Music is tranquilizing.

Where did you find it OP? ?

I deal with death on a daily basis, I've seen people take their last breathe.. and seen the light leave their eyes so this doesn't faze me.

But it is a beautiful animation.

Hospice?

Are you guys getting used to it or you born less emotional than us hysterical ones?

Beautiful. I have tears in my eyes right now.

I remember the first time I witnessed a death. I had to care for a 103 year old woman, she was stiff as a board so I had to reposition her every hour. When I began my shift with her she would call out and say help me, over and over again. When she mottled up to her neck I sat with her and held her hand, she gasped for air and occasional stopped breathing for 3/4 seconds the most and her eyes glazed over.. they were devoid of light. I honestly didn't feel anything. As time went on and I dealt with younger patients still nothing, death is a natural part of life, we can't escape it it's inevitable so it's better to accept it when there's nothing you can do than become emotional over it.

Anyone you've known personally or loved dearly?

And by dearly, I mean immediate family or close

friend... like that.

I can't watch this.

Not after everything that has happened over the last 18 months...

I worked in a care home for 2 years before working in the icu, I grew bonds with some of these older people.. met their families, heard their stories but it still never bugged me when they passed on.

Now if my mom or close friends did... I don't know. I'd hope I'd feel some sort of anguish. If I didn't then my career really molded me into something awful.

No, it's interesting, in a way-- my mom's been

an RN for over 40 years (she just retired) and in

an urgent situation with people who are NOT

her family (or pets!), she's cool as a cucumber...

all business.

But if it's family or even the dog, she gets all

emo and irrational.

Personal and professional are very distinct for

some people, I guess-- but somebody *has* to

be able to hold it together when no one else is in

a position to do so-- and they have to be able to

come back the next day and do it all over again.

I doubt you're anything like awful. ?

Very triggering

I'm on the verge of ugly crying

I'm over here like I don't want my dog to die !!!??

Why do we feel guilty about being predatorial? Why do we have compassion? The line? No line?

Romanticizing death.

Like people romanticize the tragic life of Sylvia

Plath, but there's no beauty or grace in putting

your head in an oven.

Not quite the same. Death waited because it wasn't the right time; when the deer's time came, it embraced the end.

That isn't romanticizing death as much as it is making peace with it.

This is art, and therefore... subjective.

So, Capricorn-pants, there really isn't a right or a wrong.

However...

It looks like the poor dear/deer was haunted by death

(why was he hanging out that long if it wasn't time...

he didn't do that to everyone else), who overshadowed

everything she did, until she got used to the shadow

and finally embraced it.

Who knew deer had demons?

*Crying*

Very moving, beautiful animation

How couldn't you be moved by it...?

My middle name is *feel* though, so.....

Thanks for sharing Soul, your Scorpio moon is lovely

That's why I love art so much. The way I see it is exactly what the title says "The life of death."

All the animals up to the deer just get randomly touched by death, but the dear which is represting life imo fearlessly looks death right in the eyes before it runs off to join the other deer. At this point I realize the deer is slower then all the others, because afterward I notice its always the last in line and always catching up, much like the elder deer in a herd. You really notice this when the seasons are changing during the winter part. Then finally during the spring the herd runs off and the deer doesn't have the motivation to keep up with its family which it then turns to death and embraces it. The moral is no matter what death does, feels, or avoids touching nothing can stop life from dying. Hence the life of death.

I really love this video and tend to run to it when I need something deep to break my walls down. I can't watch this with a straight face. Just thinking about the part where the deers legs start to give in makes me tear up, but it's healthy type of sadness imo.
