Just as when I start doing nothing...
Some things just surface.

"To give is to die." - Jacques Derida.

To give is to fully give without holding back
(without the knowledge that you are giving), for Derida, that is. And to give without the knowledge of giving or setting a condition for a reward is the same as gradually submitting yourself to the death of yourself (as an idea / emotion etc).

Hence,there will always be a part of you that dies and consumed when you give.

Maybe that's why people die. In the end, people have nothing to give (to life, to thought etc) anymore and so they die.
