Death

[rak]

All of us have a fear on hearing to this word maybe someone might not get scared because he is already dead while living. But the point is nobody wants to be on this situation, most of people even don’t want to think about death but why we are so scared on being dead someday while we already knew that someday or someway we will be on that place.

We just don’t know who will go first or when will it happen; I think the reason why we are scared of death is because we are afraid to end up “nothing”.

We are scared on being wasted.

Wasted our talents, wasted our opportunities, wasted our gifts and wasted our lives this is what we really scared about.

We don’t get scared on pain but we are scared on ending our life without seizing our life, we are scared ending our life on being nobody in this world because we knew that inside of us there is full of capabilities and potential that must be used and shared.

Our life is our life but it is not our property we must understand that our very own life, someone own it and someday this borrowed life will be taken from us, we should not be scared on that moment if we used our time here in earth while living in a valuable acts, if we live unselfishly and if we reach our clear goal in life.

I am now having a thinking that if someone dies in your family, friends or love ones don’t take this something like tragedy or punishment to you but take this us a reminder that all of us has a designated limited time in this world, we cannot manage our life living forever instead of discovering how to live fore more than a hundred years why we would not think about living in a valuable acts, living a long life without any means is like a empty sexy bottle that there is nothing inside of it.

Every bottle contains plenty amount of liquids and time will come that this liquids will be drained and the liquids that been flow thru the throat of man who make a celebration has nothing to regret because they knew that they use this for the good times they shared each other rather than pouring those liquids on the floor, nobody will benefit on it.

Pour your life on the place that you will never regret to bet.

Rak (by the way means cancer in my language) very interesting post. Just for the fun of it, how old are you? I had these thoughts when I turned 40. But since then I have had 3 "near to death" experiences and view it in a totally different way. I am fine with it, when it comes, it comes, no regrets. There are even moments that are so beautiful that I would be fine it the end came then. And sometimes I even think it while I am in that moment.

I agree with the bottle analogy but few can be so clear about things like death as you are. People are just plain scared going through life with no purpose no vision, sad or angry, or faking happiness through frivolous hedonism. They laugh at stuff like "stop and smell the roses" until they go through something that wakes them up. And it is funny how living life to the fullest has opposite meanings for the ones awake and still sleeping.

I haven't been scared of death for a very long time. I read a book when I was about 12 years old in which a medium was communicating with the dead and they said that the punishment for bad behavior was to have to live in our world, and we would have to keep doing that until we learned to be nicer to others (this is obviously a rough interpretation since it's been about 40 years since I read it). It's much nicer to live in heaven. Ever since then, I haven't been afraid of death. I am intrigued by the notion I read recently that coming to earth is a kind of field-trip for spirits who are looking to advance in their studies (and I personally have always loved field trips). I am also very interested in the idea that most of us are existing in a kind of living death, probably because we have forgotten who we really are, and the enormous power and value each one of us have.

Hi

Thanks for your appriciation, actually I am starting to train my mind to be not so attached on "age" because on my personal view when we think about "age" and comparing it to other peoples point of view it makes me limited in life.

I mean like for example when people knew that you are 70 years old they said that you must be in house right now and stop doing any fun stuff because your "old" whats the connection of doing fun stuff of being "old?" For me the older you get the more fun you must enjoy because we dont know what might happen tomorrow.

I realize this when I am 24 yrs old

I think the reason why most people are just scared on death is because we are trained to have that kind of feeling since we are born and also the TV is the big influence. It tells us that being dead is a saddest moment of your life or "you lose when you die"

I like what Steve Pavlinas metaphor that...

Death is like Graduation

Its hard to realize the bottle analogy to people who was trained since in their childhood to follow the Medicore path and it is also hard to change beliefs while in the same time he is mingling to the people who are following the Medicore path.




again thanks for your time

I don't think I fear death.

I think I worry that I won't complete what I was put here to do when death comes.
