I agree, but doesn't the adage "there is nothing to but fear itself" sort of apply here?
all fears are illogically based. do we need to post "MAURY!! MUSTARD RUINED MY LIFE!!" here? her terror over mustard goes far beyond most people's fear of dying! it's all relative. I'm afraid of stinging/flying insects because I was stung IN the ear when I was about 6. to this day I scream like a lil' girl when I see one. the wife hates spiders even worse so it evens out I guess.
do I want to die? hell no. living is kind of cool. [understated]
does it cause me any terror? absolutely not.
I'll go ahead and just
geek out here so as to attempt to explain myself the best I can.
Decay and it's agent Death are but cyclical processes that all life goes through. it's beyond natural and beneficial, it's absolutely necessary.
the particles in our bodies that are elementally higher than hydrogen and helium were formed from the massive explosions of stars much more ancient than our brains can really grasp.
these particles were flung outward "randomly" from many points across the sky. through the miracle of gravity (praise Xenu!), these particles grouped together into something greater than themselves. life
was born of decay, even in the beginning.
I'm thankful to whatever cosmic algorithm there is that allowed me my human form. I'm glad that I'm not a mayfly with only one day to eat, fuck and fly (you know that's one hell of a
good day though).
about 6 billion years from now, our sun will have exhausted it's nuclear fuel and begin to turn into a red giant. all of the material on the surface of this planet will be blown out toward deep space (and who knows eventually
what).
I FUCKING DIG THAT.
why would I be afraid of dying when I know that??
and like I said, I died before and it didn't ruin my life.
I have a ten year old son, and I could unequivocally say YES, I am afraid of his death and of him dying (even if it's due to his age). but it's based only on "selfish" reason (ie: I want
my son to live a long life).
sorry for the
ZOMG(MEGA)
BLOG, hopefully this proves everyone right.
