“In shielding ourselves from death, we have shielded ourselves from life as well.”
•
We human beings use all kinds of creative tools to shield ourselves from the bleak presence of death. To name a few common tools: prestige, appearance, money, fame. These things make us feel safe, but they often keep us from living authentically. Life does not exist without death, and to face death is to face life.
•
It’s human nature to fear death. We all have covert death anxiety that manifests itself in various ways. Could be a nightmare, a sudden panic attack, an irrational fear, etc. Death anxiety torments us in our deepest parts. Since it’s unavoidable, let’s try to befriend it. Get to know your real feelings about death, you may find some surprises (maybe even the force of your life) there 😉
