I always think about the fact that I will die one day. Can you give me a reason why I shouldn’t worry about it?

    I am worried about it. But there’s nothing I can do, really. It’s scary. That’s ok. People telling you to not be concerned with death or that they are glad they will return to the earth or some bullshit can continue to eat their false hope. I’m not interested.

    It’s a valid fear and worry.

    Everyone should fear death. It’s what keeps us doing smart things like looking both ways before crossing the street or not drinking random containers of suspicious liquid. It’s healthy to fear death to a degree.

    The question is that is this impacting your life in a significantly negative way? Is it causing daily intense distress? Is it causing you to become a shut in and not leave your home? Then it’s worth addressing.

    If it’s not significantly negatively impacting your quality of life, then there’s nothing that needs to be changed about your viewpoint.

    I started fearing death more than ever a few months ago. I chose to do maybe what the opposite of what my fear told me and I learned to ride a motorcycle. So I’m still out here living life.
