How to Face the Fear of Death
Filed Under Insurance
“Mankind holds no greater fear than fear of death. That is why they put their faces to the ground and plead for God’s mercy. It is the nature of all living things to prostrate themselves before fear.”
I have no idea where my grandson get this quote, but it something that gives a huge impact on me – huge enough for me to write something about it. Reflecting on its concept, I can be the one who is nearest facing this fear, in terms of life span, since I’m the eldest among my family. And now that I’m facing this thought, I realize that I am one of those people, that I am also have this fear of dying.
But death, like aging, is something I can never avoid. No matter how I keep myself healthy, I’ll end up dying (Hey I don’t want to sound like a negative granny…. it’s just a reality check….) And now that this terrifying thought sinks in my chest, the best thing I can do is to face it.
Acceptance is the best way to face death. Knowing that someday I’ll face my death bed and accepting that someday I will die has a thick line. And if I want to live my life with happiness while having this thought, I have to accept my fate, especially now that I’m getting old and weary.
Since my aging years limits me in doing some things, I have to live my life to its fullest. Without wasting any seconds, I have to do what I want, before I lose all my energy and spend my life lying in bed and being taken care of.
