Life and Death is the reason that the humanity exist on earth. To experience the way of life and to have a variety of choices to chose from in life. I am not a person that is down about death. To me I really don't care cause ether way. Its going to happen regardless so why stress about something that you can't control or stop it inevitable. Seizing the day I do that everyday. I try to live life to the fullest because you could die any day regardless of age, race or gender, or demeanor. So I think you should wait to the last moment of life to reminisce about what you could of did but didn't.
I think that Kafka morally leaned more toward the Death philosophy rather than life. As an adult Kafka had a miserable life. Most days he suffered from severe chronic headaches, insomnia, and tuberculosis. As a kid Kafka was in torment from his father. Kafka's father wanted Kafka to be more like him when he was younger: Strong, powerful, self assured, and self satisfied. Since Kafka was a sensitive boy this torture followed him thought his life, causing him to have an inability to find happiness through marriage.
In the story metamorphosis i think that Gregor beleived in death more than seizing the day because he lived at home with his parents and siblings supporting them for a living. When Gregor transformed into a dunn beetle roach he believed in death even more because when he was a regular person he work alot so that was all he look forward to so when he wasn't able to go back to work his family and him thought what was the use of him if he couldn't work.
The biggest stuggle in life that me and Gregor have in common is the struggle of money cause the States is in a recession so theirs a scrasity of jobs out there. also what we have in common is that me and him wants to support his family and make sure their happy.
