If life is an end, and death is an end too, how should one choose? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I face an end I don't want to confront, feeling like I'm about to die at every moment. Death itself represents a true termination, truly realizing the end.

Good day, question asker. I understand that you are concerned about facing the end of your life and feel as though you are already at the point of death. However, it is important to recognize that dying is merely a transition to the ultimate end.

If life and death are the only two options, which should be chosen? This question may appear to have multiple answers, but in essence, it is not. The moment you are alive is destined to end, and this is something that no one can change. The end that the questioner refers to is one that they don't want to face, and it is like the various challenges that you must face once the game starts.

It is important to note that death is not necessarily the end. While it marks the end of this individual's existence, it does not necessarily signify the end of their relationships or obligations. For instance, if this individual has outstanding debt, even if they are no longer socially active, the debt still exists.

I am unsure if the questioner raised this confusion out of curiosity or for another reason. Therefore, I would like to inform the questioner that since people come to this world to go through this journey, and having survived the difficult state of infancy, it is now time to continue living well. Living itself is meaningful, and it is the one thing that is most worth being proud of. When this day is over, even if nothing has happened, I can proudly say to myself, "I'm grateful that I lived another day."

I hope these thoughts are helpful. I love the world and I love you. I hope the questioner can find clarity soon.

Dear questioner, My name is Duoduo Lian, and I hope my reply can support you in some way.

We all know that life has an end that we'd rather not face. It's natural to feel like you're going to die every moment. But you're still asking for help and stubbornly living in the hope of getting an explanation. We're all going to face death eventually, and this is also why most people will cherish the hard-won gift of life.

I'm not sure what you're struggling with or if this challenge is causing you pain. You can always find a kindhearted friend to talk to. Maybe you've been feeling lonely for too long, and even if you do talk, the other person may not be able to solve your problem. At least, you'll feel better.

Many folks are just running around, bless their hearts, while some seem to have been brought up with a silver spoon in their mouths. They have different starting points and destinies. Those who are destined to live without an umbrella will have a hard time, and they can only run in the rain. But who can take on her burden for her? They have to rely on themselves, bless their hearts.

It may look glamorous on the surface, but who knows the hardships behind it? No one succeeds for no reason. The confusion you say you encounter? It'll be okay! It's just a few years and then you'll look back and see that it was just a bump in the road. Life is about experiencing, whether you succeed or fail. How you perceive it is the key!

How many people get caught up in the excitement and forget to recover from failure? They live their lives according to what others expect, and they never live for themselves. We come into this world, and some people look at us and then leave. Nobody knows how long we're going to live. So, it's important to live in the present and to wake up every day and be grateful for it.

Your suffering is also valuable and meaningful. We see your reluctance and confusion, and we're here to help you explore it. We can't take a speck of dust with us when we leave, and it is already worthwhile to have come to this world, to have earned good health. It is just that sometimes our desires and greed make us lose our way, and we can sort it out together.

Take a moment to look at all the wonderful people around you who have always been there for you. We're social animals, and we need emotional connections to live a full and happy life. So, it's time to put the era of going it alone behind us! Let's embrace cooperation and win-win situations to make our lives even better.

Keep your boundaries and give back to others what they should bear. Everyone has their own destiny, and that's a beautiful thing! It is precisely because of death that more people understand how good it is to be alive, cherish life more, live in the present, and accept the impermanence of life.

You should love yourself, do the process well, and let the result take its natural course. Act now, empty yourself, and stop thinking. There are no insurmountable obstacles, no right or wrong, only pros and cons. Return to your inner self, connect with your heart, and you deserve to have a good life.

Hello, host!

Embrace the journey of life! It's a wild ride that brings a kaleidoscope of emotions and experiences. We crave more life than death because we're wired for adventure. We don't want to end, because the end is just the beginning of a whole new chapter. We want to end it early and jump into the next thrilling adventure. Death is just another part of life, and it's a natural part of the cycle of life. It's the pain, the unbearable, and the things we don't want to face that make life exciting!

When you are infinitely close to death, you can appreciate your own definition and meaning of the end. The feeling that we will die at any moment is just dominated by fear, which is a manifestation of our escape from reality, and also the way we overvalue the end. Everyone will die one day, and there will also be an end to the day—but that's not the end!

I firmly believe that death is not the end! It's possible that only our bodies die, but our souls live on in another form. It's not the end!

Maybe we don't obsess about the end now, and see what death means to us. People say that life is a cycle, full of twists and turns. We became human beings, and it's a truly incredible journey! In our previous life, we may not have been human beings, just a worm or a pig, with no memory. What they are saying is that now that we have become human beings, it is to better experience the feelings of every reincarnation of all living things. This may be our purpose: to let us feel that death is a kind of reincarnation that we don't know. What an amazing gift!

This is what I think, and I think it's pretty amazing!

Socrates said, "It is not difficult to seek death, but it is difficult to escape from sin, because sin will chase people faster than death. We will experience a lot of suffering in this world. Life is not easy. When we are young, we seek death, but sin will not make us die quickly, because sin runs fast. We are still young, so look at our ordinary lives, how happy they are, and it is also happy to have things that others don't have. Learn to cherish, eliminate the idea of self-destruction, and the meaning of the end may also change.

I really hope these thoughts are helpful to you! Have the best day ever!

Hello! I'm a Heart Quest coach. Are you proud and uninquisitive?

You're confused about the meaning of life. If living is the end, then so is death. Which is it?

If you live with the constant fear of death, does it really mean the end?

Everyone has thought about life and death. We think, "Since we are alive, we are destined to die. It's better to just go straight to the end." You have similar confusion, but you have to explore it slowly.

Let me help you sort it out:

1. Understand correctly.

We think about the meaning of life. Some people want to live freely, while others want to relax. Everyone has different ideas about life and death. You can choose whatever you want. When you think about death, you can try to be more open-minded and brave. You can live a long, meaningful life. Our lives also have other meanings, like culture, reproduction, creation, and thoughts. This is the most important thing in life.

2. How do you see life and death?

Birth and death are part of nature. They are like the changing seasons or the passing of time. Death is part of life. We can accept this and face the ups and downs.

3. Think about what life is worth.

How should we live? Do we make the most of life, or do we just go with the flow?

The finiteness of life motivates us to live our lives to the fullest.

4. All people are born equal.

We are all equal in the face of life and death. No matter who you are or how much money you have, everyone will die. Life is precious, so we should live our lives to the fullest and not stop. We should look ahead with determination and focus on being our true selves.

I hope this helps. If you need to talk more, you can find me on my personal website. Just click on the Heart Exploration service and send me a message. Love,

Hello, question asker! It's like seeing a dear friend's face when you read their words.

I just wanted to say congratulations before we start talking. I can see from your description that you've already made a lot of progress. It's so great that you've been able to release your current state and feelings in such a short amount of time. You've done an amazing job!

Let's chat about what you mentioned here, my friend.

You said, "There is an end to living that I don't want to face, and every moment I feel like I'm going to die." Oh, sweetheart, I want to know more about this.

1. When did you first start feeling this way, my dear?

2. I'd love to know more about what's behind this feeling (or expectation).

3. I'd love to know more about what beliefs have kept you going until now, before you came to the platform for help.

4. Who do you feel you are living for?

5. I'd love to know what you think are the easiest and hardest things in the world.

I hope you'll find it helpful to look at these five points. They're designed to help you see the insecure child within yourself. They're also meant to show you that someone has been with you all along, sharing your feelings. So I'd love to know: if you could talk to that child within yourself, what would you say to it?

Then you also said, "Death is the true end." I actually have a different opinion on this, but I'd love to take care of the question marks that have popped up in my mind:

1. I'd love to know what experience made you think this way!

2. If that behavior really works, what is the reason for it? We all know that when something like that happens around us, it can make people feel pretty bad.

3. I'd love to know, what do you really hope for from the people around you?

4. Who are you living for?

Maybe you've also noticed that there are two points here that are similar to two of the points in the previous section. That's because you've been asking one question throughout this whole thing: What is the meaning of life?

Come on, let me show you something amazing from another dimension!

You see, because you are alive, you can know what you are feeling in this moment; and because you are alive, you have the opportunity to express your feelings to your friends here, and your heart no longer has to bear such a heavy burden.

It's so easy to give up, isn't it? But those who persevere are so cool! In the future, when you're feeling down, remember to come back here. It's big and accepting enough to be used as a tree hole.

Okay, time is running out, so let's take a quick break here.

I've got another quote for you that I think you'll like! It goes like this: the very fact of being alive is the greatest meaning of being alive.

Take care of yourself, sweetheart. Look out for yourself, and make sure you're doing okay.

Hello, question asker. I am the Heart Exploration coach, Gu Daoxi Fengshou Slender Donkey.

It's a shame the questioner has had this realization. I'm going to give them a hug.

Life has setbacks and suffering, but different perspectives lead to different answers. If you feel it is a hurt, you will be stuck in your emotions and unable to move on. If you feel it is a nutrient for growth, you may gain the experience of growth.

Death is an unknown world for those who are alive, but it is not the end. Mentioning the loss of a loved one is painful, but the person who has passed away may not feel it. However, it is a painful thing for those who are alive and have lost their loved ones. The questioner should try to feel it for themselves: would they be willing to let their loved ones experience such pain?

The questioner said that there is an end to life that they don't want to face, but they must face it. There is a wonderful part of life that they are willing to face. Things themselves are relatively objective. Different physical sensations come from the subjective feelings of different people looking at the same thing differently. The questioner must find the positive part of their life.

Ask yourself if you are catastrophizing. You may be over-amplifying this negative experience.

You need to step outside the perspective of the person involved to view the issue more objectively.

In "The Devil at Noon," the author states: You have the right (to commit suicide), and you can exercise it at any moment in the future, but you can and should try to see if there are other opportunities now, because you are keeping this right, and no one is saying you can't do it. Looking at it this way, you should try again to see if there are other possibilities.

There is no perfect life. There will indeed be moments in life when we cannot get in or out and feel very powerless. But we can believe that bad luck will not last forever. After the moment passes, things will be different.

The way we view a problem affects our emotions. When we focus on our feelings and forget to pay attention to what we can do, it's easy to fall into negative thinking. The questioner should change their perspective and ask themselves what they can do to change the situation.

The length of life is too limited compared to the length of death. Don't waste your time sleeping for a long time while you are still alive. You will definitely sleep for a long time after you die. Make the most of your short experience. Increase the brightness of your life and make it more exciting. Don't give up too soon.

The brave win in a narrow encounter. A friend of mine once said, "When I encounter a problem, I don't go out first. If I go out, it's the other person who goes out, and I won't go. I'll drive you crazy."

The questioner should also try to change their perspective. There is no point in hurting yourself if it is not going to punish others.

Think about the things you love. You decide the length and quality of your life. Mindfulness can help you adjust your state.

You have to vent your emotions. You can't always bear too much emotion and still be in good condition. When you feel unhappy, you need to vent your emotions to someone or seek professional counseling. That's how you get through every low.

Read these books: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and A Change of Heart.

Best wishes!

Hello, question asker! I can tell you're going through a lot right now.

It seems like you're struggling with some deep-seated fears about life and death. It's like you feel like no matter what path you choose, it'll all end in an inevitable conclusion. It's a tough thing to deal with.

But here's the thing: Each of our lives is a journey, and death is just the end of that journey.

However, before reaching the end, there are still many beautiful moments and experiences waiting for us to discover and enjoy. Every breath, every heartbeat, is life showing us its wonders and beauty.

And being alive doesn't mean we have to accept an end we don't want. It gives us a chance to change, grow, and create the life we want.

Every challenge and difficulty is actually a test of life that makes us stronger and braver.

Of course, death is the ultimate end, but it doesn't mean everything is over. Even though our lives will end, our memories, love, and contributions will stay in the hearts of those we've influenced.

Our lives will live on in their hearts and become part of their lives.

I'd like to tell you a quick story. There was once a young man who, like you, was confused and afraid of life and death.

But then, he decided to travel and experience different cultures and lives. During the journey, he met many people, heard many stories, and saw how diverse and rich life can be.

He came to see that the meaning of life isn't in the pursuit of eternity, but in how we experience and value every moment.

There's a psychological concept called "existential anxiety" that describes deep thoughts and concerns about the meaning of life, death, and free choice. This anxiety is actually quite normal and reflects both our appreciation for life and our fear of the unknown.

But it's also this anxiety that motivates us to explore, grow, and search for the meaning of life.

Now, let's tackle your issue. It seems like you're grappling with some deep-seated fears and confusion about life and death. You feel like no matter which path you choose, you're still bound to the fate of ending up where you're meant to be.

The key is not to choose a path, but to embrace every moment of life.

Then, I have a few suggestions that might be helpful. First, try to accept that life is uncertain and finite.

This isn't about just sitting back and letting life happen. It's about understanding that life is a journey, and that death is just the end of that journey. During the journey, we can experience, grow, and create our own meaning and value.

You might also want to try some relaxation and anxiety relief methods, such as deep breathing, meditation, or talking to friends and family. These can help calm your inner turmoil and allow you to think more calmly and clearly.

Finally, I suggest you focus more on the good and positive things in your life. Try to discover what makes you happy and content, and appreciate the people you spend time with.

When we focus on the good things in our lives, it makes our hearts feel more fulfilled and satisfied.

In short, life is short and will eventually come to an end. But it's this finiteness that makes us cherish and love every moment more. Don't let fear and confusion hold you back. Face and embrace life with courage!

I truly believe you can find your own meaning and value and live a wonderful and fulfilling life.

While there is hope in life, where one can turn an end into a beginning, death does not offer such a possibility.

I also experienced a time when I felt a sense of detachment from the universe and a longing to simply cease to exist.

I am currently enjoying my favorite song, and in a little while I plan to try cooking, followed by a short drama. I had intended to watch it last night, but I didn't stay up late, which I consider a positive outcome.

I believe it's about being minimal.

It might be helpful to do the things you enjoy. Perhaps you could eat what you like, wear what you like, and dress up. You might also like to take pictures of yourself.

If you feel the need to release some stress, you might consider keeping a journal, going to a karaoke bar, or even purchasing a set of speakers and singing at home. You could also try playing video games that involve shooting. You could even try punching a bag at home.

For now, it's best not to set any strict demands on yourself. Just do whatever you feel is right for you, as long as it's not causing you harm.

If you find yourself constantly thinking about overeating, it might be helpful to just eat. Try to choose something nourishing and enjoyable, as eating can bring happiness. It's not necessary to force yourself to eat or not eat.

Take the time to understand yourself and your needs.

Perhaps it would be helpful to take your time and find a way that suits you.

I think I'll brush my teeth and get ready to cook. I might wash my face and maybe wash my hair, too, but it depends on my mood.

I have recently been enjoying cold noodles with lettuce, which I find to be a rather pleasant combination. Yesterday, I went shopping and purchased a barbecue dip, which I intend to try and see if it tastes similar. I had considered buying oil as I find stir-frying particularly enjoyable, however, I am unable to consume soy products. Unfortunately, I stayed up rather late the previous night and my thumb is still somewhat painful, so I am unsure if it is worth continuing.

I have a new discovery. Could the reason I felt unwell and almost fainted after staying up late the night before have been low blood sugar? I was concerned about going out yesterday after staying up late, but I ate a lot, put on my favorite makeup, picked out my favorite clothes, and even designed the little details of my outfit. I went out, and it was fine. It still depends on the situation, and it's important to eat enough before going out.

Questioner, I am deeply concerned to hear that you are troubled. Let me be clear: you are not alone, and these feelings are common among many people.

We all encounter difficulties and challenges in life. This is part of life. When facing these difficulties, having someone to accompany and support us is essential.

If you are experiencing severe psychological stress or emotional problems, you must seek professional help. Speak with a mental health professional (such as a counselor or psychiatrist) who can provide personalized support and guidance to help you cope with your current emotional difficulties.

Your life is precious and worth cherishing and protecting.

Contact your local mental health service or crisis intervention hotline immediately if you feel you cannot solve the problem yourself or need more specific advice. They will provide more specific and personalized support to help you get through the difficult times.

I also want to remind you to take care of your physical and mental health. Make sure you get enough exercise, eat right, and get enough rest.

Good physical health is essential to mental health. You will overcome the difficulties you are facing and find inner peace and tranquility with positive efforts and appropriate support.

If you need it, you can always turn to your family and friends for support. I am confident you will get through this and regain your confidence and courage to live your life.

Hello, host! I'm so honored to answer your question. You said in your information that you're not ready to face the end of life, and I totally get it.

It's so hard when you feel like you're going to die every single moment. I know that death is the true meaning of the end, but it's okay to feel this way.

You've truly achieved the end!

From reading this text, I get the impression that you wrote it with a really calm mind and without much emotional fluctuation. It gives the impression that your heart is already dead, which is pretty cool.

Let's circle back to your original question: if living is the end, and so is death, which is it?

Before we get to the answer, let's chat about the difference between the two endings of living and ending and death. I personally think living is an ending, which is an active process with a controllable outcome.

I truly believe that we can find value and a sense of existence in real life by controlling the outcome and tendency of the end. This allows us to complete our own sense of value and existence in a way that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

The end represented by death is passive and uncontrollable, and we are powerless in the face of this knot. How do you choose?

Ultimately, it all comes down to whether you want to hold the ultimate power firmly in your own hands. Many people are used to comparing a person's life to a circle, from the beginning to the end.

From the very start to the very end, it's like we're on a journey together, side by side. But I truly believe that a meaningful life is not just about going it alone.

On this path, we use the different experiences of our lives to paint it in all its glory. This is the biggest difference between active and passive endings.

I'm so happy to have an appointment! 1983. The world and I love you!

Hello! I'd like to extend a warm hug from afar to you.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to assist you in some small way. I hope that my sharing can provide you with some support and help. I understand that for you, living can be overwhelming, and you may feel that you lack the ways and methods to express and release this part of your pain effectively. It is understandable that you may even consider relieving the emotional pain of the moment through death. When you can choose to ask for help when you are in extreme pain and feel helpless, it shows that you want to live well.

I believe that nothing is more precious than our lives.

You might consider recording your painful, helpless, and disintegrating emotional feelings in the present moment in writing. This could be a helpful way for you to better perceive, experience, feel, and sort out this part of your painful emotional feelings. It might also be a way for you to try to face this part of your emotions directly and work through it.

It might be helpful to consider that the situation you're in and the emotional pain you're experiencing could also be affecting someone close to you. You might find it beneficial to talk to the people close to you about your needs and express how you'd appreciate them doing something to make you feel better.

You might also consider starting with the end in mind. Imagine standing at the age of 60 and looking back at all that you have experienced and encountered today. What would you say to your present self? Is all that you are experiencing and encountering beyond your ability to cope? Or could it be that your sense of powerlessness and excessive suffering is simply a reflection of your lack of self-belief and low self-esteem, which makes it challenging for you to recognize your own abilities and resources to cope with the predicament you are currently facing?

Perhaps you feel that life is really hard and that we have to face a lot of suffering and uncertainty. This can be especially true when we lack better social support. When we face the uncertainty and suffering of life, it can make us feel even more frustrated, lost, helpless, and powerless. It's important to remember that this does not mean that you are not good enough or that you have not given your all to your life. It only means that we are not good at certain things and that everyone has their own shortcomings and inadequacies. It can be helpful to let go of the expectation of a perfect self.

It would be beneficial to consciously cultivate the ability to take care of yourself and care for others, as well as establish supportive and nurturing relationships. It might also be helpful to consciously cultivate some interests and passions for yourself outside of study and work, in order to gain a greater sense of control and joy from life.

We respectfully suggest that you consider reading "Live a Life of Blossoming Joy," "Live a Unique Life," and "Live Consciously."

When we think about life as a game, it's easy to see how it's a lot like playing one! Both are full of challenges and growth, and neither is about focusing on the end result alone. Life is a wonderful, continuous process full of possibilities and choices, just like a game!

In games, players get to face all kinds of problems and challenges, and work to overcome them. It's a great way to learn and grow! This is similar to the challenges and growth we experience in real life.

We all know that life and games have their ups and downs. But the good news is that with hard work and perseverance, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our goals.

And you know what? Clearing a level in a game can be seen as achieving some important goals in life. Like academic success, career success, and family happiness. It's through hard work and struggle that we can achieve our goals and dreams and win the journey of clearing a level in life.

But here's the thing: unlike in a game where you can just hit "game over," life is a continuous process. In both games and life, every failure is just another chance to start again, and every success is just the beginning of a new, higher pursuit.

Even if a character dies in a game or fails to complete a level, the player will start again and find new methods and strategies. It's the same in life. Setbacks and failures don't mean the end, but rather opportunities to grow and learn.

So, don't just think about the end result. Think about all the amazing things you can do and learn along the way! It's like playing a game. Have fun and explore!

This way of thinking helps us to enjoy all the wonderful richness and diversity of life, and to make our lives really meaningful.

When we think about the meaning of life, we inevitably come across some fundamental philosophical questions. There are no right or wrong answers to these questions, because everyone's understanding and pursuit of the meaning of life is unique.

But when we think about what life is all about, we can look at it from different angles.

First of all, you can explore the meaning of life from your own perspective. You are a special person with your own unique talents, passions, and values.

Everyone can find their own meaning in life by developing and realizing their potential. This could be anything from pursuing career success to artistic creation or academic breakthroughs.

You know, setting goals for yourself and working towards achieving them can really give you a sense of achievement and satisfaction in the pursuit of personal meaning.

Second, another way to think about the meaning of life is from a social perspective. We're all part of society, and our existence is linked to others, influencing each other's lives.

We can make the world a better place by building strong relationships with others, helping those in need, and giving back to our communities. When we care for and support others, it not only has a positive impact on their lives but also fills our hearts with joy and a deeper sense of purpose.

And there's another way to think about the meaning of life: from a more global perspective. We're just one of many beings on this planet, and our existence is closely linked to the natural world.

It's so important to protect the environment, maintain the ecological balance, and care about sustainable development. By protecting our home planet, we're creating better living conditions for future generations and enabling the sustainable development of the entire human society.

And finally, the meaning of life can also be explored on a spiritual level. Whether through religious belief, philosophical reflection, or inner searching, people can find a spiritual meaning that goes beyond the personal and material.

This meaning may involve the pursuit of wisdom, truth, love, or spirituality. And the great news is that through dialogue and reflection within, you can find peace of mind and contentment!

In a nutshell, the meaning of life is a pretty complex and profound question that touches on so many different areas, including the individual, society, nature, and spirituality. Everyone has the right and freedom to explore, think about, and choose their own meaning of life, and that's something really special.

No matter what you do, you can make your life more meaningful and enriching. You can achieve personal goals, contribute to society, protect the environment, or pursue spiritual fulfillment. The most important thing is to find what makes your heart sing. I hope you find your own answers on this journey of exploring the meaning of life. And I hope you enjoy the beauty and meaning of life along the way!

Hi, I'm Bai Li Yina, and I hope my reply will be helpful and provide some warmth.

It seems like the questioner is experiencing a lot of pain right now and believes that death is a way to escape it. This kind of thinking is actually very real. When each of us encounters pain that we can't handle, finding a way to escape is a way for humans to protect themselves.

The idea of death isn't something to be afraid of. Many people think about, talk about, and even face death many times throughout their lives.

The key is what you do. Having doubts means your heart doesn't fully agree that death is the end of everything. You're facing something in life that's painful, and this pain makes you feel like you're dying.

This shows that the pain is really intense and that you're being tormented by feelings that are like death.

What keeps you going when you're facing such challenges? Think about what you enjoy, what you think about when you're in pain, and what you hold on to.

Your attachment and reluctance are what give you the courage to face difficulties. Everyone's attachment is different. Some people even fight against the pain of reality for a long time because of a sweet memory, and they are unwilling to choose death.

What are your priorities? Who are the people you care about?

We often need to have some beliefs to help us get through the pain that reality gives us. But we can also be transformed in different ways because we have endured pain that is difficult for ordinary people to bear.

Mencius said in "Born in Hardship, Die in Peace" that the original text reads, "Therefore, when Heaven is about to give someone a big task, it first makes them feel down, tired, hungry, poor, and confused. This makes them want to do better and gives them the ability to do so." The meaning of this sentence is that when Heaven is about to give someone a big responsibility, it will first make them feel sad, tired, hungry, poor, and confused. Through these, it will inspire them, strengthen their character, and give them abilities they didn't have.

If you can turn your suffering into a personal challenge, will you feel more confident about overcoming it? I hope you can find the answers you're looking for by thinking about death.

All living beings experience suffering, but the world is still worth it, and you are too.

The world and I are with you, and you're not alone. I hope you find clarity and comfort soon.

I'd like to thank everyone who has liked and commented on my posts. I wish you all peace and joy.

The thought of death looming so close brings a mix of fear and helplessness, as if my existence is slipping away.

Truman Thomas The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

It's terrifying to accept that everything could just stop, leaving behind nothing but the void that follows afterlife.

Every moment spent fearing this inevitable end exhausts me, as I wrestle with accepting what seems inescapable.

Mckay Davis Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

Death signifies finality, and the prospect of it makes me question the meaning of everything I've ever known or felt.
