kelsium:

I’ve never understood fear of death. I understand fearing the deaths of the people you love, but I’ve never struggled with the concept that I will die someday. I don’t like the uncertainty of when and why and how much pain because uncertainty is unnerving and I have control issues for every hair on my head, but isn’t it nice to know that you get to stop at some point? Life is tiring. You do what you can and then you stop. I don’t know. That sounds nice to me.

    I’ve never really been afraid of death either. I think that the people you love dying is incredibly sad. And I wish that...

  11. norttron said: I think the idea of trying to achieve immortality is gross, but fear of death is kind of the basis of all philosophy. I think your point of view is incredibly uncommon.
