I am going to die, even though I am able to say it I don’t think I am able to understand it because the idea of death seems so far away from me right know that I am not capable to process the fact. I know everyone has to die, I know it can happen anytime; and it is not like I want to live forever, because I don’t, but it is so difficult, and kind of depressing, especially right now, in the earliest times of my life, to imagine a moment in which I am not going to exist.
It might be some kind of denial, but that denial, I think, is the thing that keeps me focus on life, on taking advantage of it instead on living worried about the future, about the time everything is going to end. I don’t want to think about death because I am too busy thinking about life. Epicurus said we can’t experience death so we shouldn’t be afraid of it, I think this is THE thought, we can’t live fearing death, we can’t let it control our lives, we are all going to die but as long as it doesn’t happen we are ALIVE.
I agree with you Mariana. Facing the fact that we can die right now so early in our lives make us feel unsafe and afraid. But because it’s so hard to accept the fact that we can die know, when we are so young, makes some teenagers feel indestructible, unbeatable, immortal. They need to know that’s not true and that not because you are healthy, means you can’t die. Nice work Mariana.
ReplyDeletei also agree with mariana's point. Eventually were going to die even if we wanted o we don´t but that´s how life is so why do we worry about death if we don´t know how thinks are we just have to focus in the present and live day by day taking advantage of every minute of it.
