Why do we get so scared when we think about death? Why are we scared of something we haven't experienced? Why are we scared of something we don't know how does it feels? We will never know until it happens. Yes, it will happen. Someday. Just by knowing that our life is going to end, we get depressed and sad because we realize that we are not going to live forever. We realize that everything will come to an end.
When I was little my aunt died because of cancer and I didn't understand what was going on and why everyone was so sad and crying all the time, but then I realized that humans die. We are not going to life forever. Everything happens for a reason. Sooner or later, everything will end.
Like Fernando Savater say in his book, The Questions of Life, death is non-transferable; you can't die instead of someone else. He also say that death individualizes us, but at the same time makes us all equal. In death, no one is more or less than anyone else.
"Nobody is too young to die nor too old to live another day". Not just because we are young means that we have a long life ahead, and not because we are old means that we are going to die right away. And like Montaigne said: "we don't die because we are ill but because we are death".
Death makes us think more about life. Knowing that we are going to die, makes us realize that we have to live our life as much as we can and enjoy every second of it.
..but because we are alive"
ResponderEliminari like the way mariel thinks.. i also like what mariel said,"Nobody is too young to die nor too old to live another day". and thats true you never at what time you will die,because that you shoul enjoy you life like if you will not have more time..
ResponderEliminarI think it is very sad when people live their lives without that person they love. Maybe we are afraid of death not because it will hurt or something, maybe we fear death because we have to die alone, and the people we love stay here or are already gone.
