Anyone who claims to not fear death is full of shit. Sure you may think in this very moment you aren't afraid, but being face to face with it is another story. No matter what your beliefs are, death is a scary thing and it's only natural to be afraid.
Most people who have found purpose in their life arent afraid of death.
What makes people afraid of death is the way death is viewed in society. The preservation of life at all costs. In most western countries you wouldnt even be allowed to die if psychologists confirmed your asking for death was a real and rational decision.
Lots of whats going on in the world revolves around the "fact" that life, no matter how shitty, is worth more than anything else. You see the scum that weighs 1000+ pounds that cant leave his bed, cant do anything but watch tv all day, gets millions spent on for the best doctors in the world to repair the damage he caused to his body.
Doesnt matter whether life is a "gift". Most people waste it. They get fat on carbs, then take medicine for their high blood pressure, medicine for their "diabetes" which, in fact, is only a label slapped on by someone to make their "condition" a disease, while in reality, their problem is that they are full of empty carbs 24/7 - a healthy diet would solve the problem over the weekend. Medicine for their "chronic back pain", welfare because they are unable to work because their chronic back pain is a condition. List goes on.
I was at the dentist and she had to drill a hole in my tooth. Afterwards she said that I was very brave and was almost mad because I didnt ask for a painkilling injection. This was when I was in my twenties, not some child or anything. The sensation, although obviously "painful", was very mild and more like an interesting sensation than excruciating, torturous pain. However, we, as a society, have grown such small balls that the slightest possibility of pain sends shivers down our back.
There are people developing phobias of everything. Those phobias get accepted as "diseases" and are then treated. The dumb produce children at an alarming rate while the more or less rich get taxed to produce welfare for those retards child support. Because if some policy cant be pushed through on what it might be, it will just include "but its for the children".
This society is fucked up. People live in total safety. When was the last time you didnt have electricity? When was the last time food was more than a 5 minute drive away? We dont even know what living feels like. We get numbed with painkillers and carbohydrates, our bodies only living longer because we every single one of us takes 3 pills a day, on average.
My mother is an elementary school teacher. Not a world is doomed type of person. Shes always viewing stuff positively. But she knows, for a fact, that the children that enter school get dumber, every year. Of her colleagues, not only is she the only one who took math classes in college, all of her colleagues arent even able to teach elementary school math.
Life, as we know it, revolves around doing groceries, washing the dishes and driving to the doctor if something imaginary happens to our bodies. When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? Anything dangerous?
The biggest problem most guys have is getting laid. That alone speaks volumes.
Get up and begin embracing life. Your fear of death is the fear of not having utilized your life in some meaningful way. Living this day like it was your last is shitty advice because most of us would choose to go down covered in hookers, booze and coke. But make it meaningful. Im off to the gym.
so do it up.
