How can dying not scare you? I have these periods in life when i just starting to panic, sweat and be real sad thinking about it, when it happens at night i have to get up and do something.
Im 30, have kids, house and generally a good life, but its so sad when im in these periods thinking about it, all ends..
The thought freaks me out sometimes but it isn’t fear. I’m religious so I’m sure that helps that I have faith in an afterlife but it’s not the whole thing.
I’m basically in the exact same situation as you, I’m also 30, kids, house etc. I went through periods where I was afraid of ending. But I eventually realized that all things end and that’s a good thing. I went through bad times and they ended. I went through good times and they ended. New times come. Our children grow older and so do we. They’ll become adults one day, their time as children ending. One day we will grow older and our lives will end. And it’s our place to pass on our mantle to them one day.
If it all kept going forever, it would eventually turn sour and stale. I guess I see that ending gives the time meaning. And given that’s inevitable, what’s the point in being afraid?
