Death. It haunts all of us and takes it's toll every day whether you're a newborn infant, a young child, teenager, adult, or elderly. Why are people afraid? We're all going to die anyway so why try to live longer? I understand, you want to live because it's a survival indstinct, or that you want to do many things.
Meditate about this; If you live for too long, yes you'll be able to do many things on your bucket list and travel or whatever. Good sides right? The wrong side is that you'd see many of your friends and family pass away while you sit there wondering why you're still breathing while everyone else is under the ground. You get depressed, mourn, get better... Problem solved right??? Wrong. The cycle then starts all over again until you're the only person in the past generation among your grandkids and your grown up children that's still alive. (Depends if you have kids or not, but hell that's not me to judge.) Anyhow, what I'm trying to say is you have only ONE life so why not make it to the fullest?? Don't do stupid shit that'll get you put in prison for the majority of your life or put you to death, or (God forbid) you do something so utterly idiotic you'll end up paralytic or in a coma at a young age. I understand, we want to live and do stuff because danger makes us feel alive but think, once you're dead, you stay dead. No revives, no 2nd life like in Mario. You're done. Gone. Finished. Don't be stupid... I'd like to share something that I read on Tumblr but I forgot the author, "One day Life walked around the garden and saw Death. She went up to him and asked, 'Death, why does everyone love me but hate and have fear of you?' Death responded by saying, 'Because Life, you are the sweetest lie while I am the bitter TRUTH.'" (For this story could someone please help me find the reference so I can give the person credit? I'd appreciate it.)
So leaving it with that story, Death is always around the corner depending on what you're doing whether it's the most idiotic and unsafe thing there is, or if it is the safest or at least fun thing to do.
