When my father passed away a few years ago, I was like, 'I can't believe it.. Everything he did and he was, is just completely gone. You die and that's it, you are out of this world ' so I swore to myself that I would build a meaningful life for myself. Do what I love the most, and give lots of love.

I still forget sometimes that I'm mortal and worry about insignificant stuff.

Does it worry you or make you feel liberated that we will all die sooner than we think ?

You might die today, you might die tomorrow, you might die when you're 100 years old.

Life and Death are sure things.

Oh, both.


I'm not sure what you mean by "sooner than we think", exactly-- I'm answering as though it's a

continuation of the previous thought.

Well, at least life is a known thing, or so it seems. Who really knows if immortality would wear thin, if we lived on in good health. Death, on the other hand, scares the hell out of me when I think about it with all my guards down. Maybe I don't want to simply cease to exist. Even worse, if I don't disappear, " I swear there ain't no heaven, but I pray there ain't no hell". I don't know what's going on here, but it seems to beat the alternative--

Death is not something I worry about at all. It's a part of life and if everyone lives it to the fullest (non-materialistically speaking) and appreciates something every day about it without taking the little things for granted, the days will be fuller and seem longer. Living life is a choice. If one chooses to sit on their ass all day, sleep all day, eat all day, drink all day, do drugs all day, it's a choice to simply exist in this life. I'm not one to simply exist. I'm not a sickly person, in fact I push myself harder to get out of that mode with mind over matter. Any injury I've had throughout life to me was a type of death..it meant I had to stop living life to heal. So..again..mind over matter, do whatever I had to in order to get healed. I get pissed off if I have to stop. I look at those unfortunate souls who struggle every day to enjoy life from a wheel chair, bed, hospital etc. and am grateful I am healthy and able to do what they cannot. I've learned not to sweat the small shit, and know my strength to get through the big shit, resolve it and continue enjoying life.

When my number is up, I'll know it when it stares me in the face, could be tonight, could be next week. Do I worry about it? Nope..there's a life to live first. Work and play hard. 🙂

Well, if you have already decided there is an afterlife, and that yours will be a good one, then of course death would be a moot point.. But for me, what I want to believe and what really is are many times two different things. Unless you are prepared to accept the afterlife, etc. on faith, then the only things in life pointing to its' existence are cases of reincarnation, hauntings, and such. Even then, these events only suggest the possibility, not provide concrete proof. Perhaps further research will provide that proof-
