Death, a mind-blowing phenomenon that I have been thinking about recently. From time to time I ask my friends about it, but they always reject to accept it because you know, death is not only about dying and decomposing our body after death, it’s about grief, lose, guilt, and regret. The answer is simple, we do not want to let go and give everything we have in this world up easily. People want to be completely their self, they stick this life as like they are not going to die, they always deny reality. People are constantly thinking about future and the past but I think future is unknown because it differs from one person to another and the past is just a short memory that ended a long time ago. The only thing that left for us is now. The Reality is that death happens while we are busy making other plans, That’s why I prefer to live completely in the moment.

Death can deform Humans dream about our old idea of living forever and being alive, this dream goes back to many years ago when humans make heritage attraction for next generation, Actually, they taught one day can return to new life by their power and wealth that take it to grave.

Being human in comparison with being an animal is one superb motivation to feel the difference and make dream about their death. in addition to this idea death is a human fear, not animal fear, unlike animals we cannot live in the moment forever and we prefer to think about future and past time.

There is a popular quote from Arthur Schopenhauer: millions of year animal’s life in the past time or future limited by just one second.

He said the history of animals is just one second as right now and there is nothing else. so here is human’s drawback because we cannot live in the moment.

Fear of death

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time. Mark Twain

One reason for fearing of death is rest of our to-do list actually we have a lot of work to do and there is no time to accomplish them.

But what if we try our best in every aspect of our life, such as our job, our lifestyle, our personal plan, strong connection with people or so on?

I think we have to spend our resources like Time, Money, Emotion during the life. also we have to try our best every time. Someone who tries his best in life doesn’t scare death because he spent all of the resources for his goal.

But someone who doesn’t try as much as he can and leave his/her tasks incomplete, cannot accept death easily and he is not satisfied with his life.

Conclusion

I have come to this conclusion: I do not want to think about it anymore, instead I want to think about life itself, because it is difficult to know how much I have left, one thing that I certainly know is that I am not alone in this journey So I decided to enjoy my remaining time with friends, family and live in the moment. At the end of the day making a difference in this world matters.
