Eh, I’ve seen some deaths. Hospital setting. They can be really not great for sure. Maybe that’s just my interpretation, can’t ask them but did see them, but definitely made me readjust my attitude to that the two most important moments in your life are how/why you are born and how/why you die.
I’ve dabbled in various religious studies, now consider myself a FBI-most-wanted traditional Catholic. What I’ve found to be anxiety relieving is the practice of practicing for death. In Latin we have a phrase “memento Mori” which means remember death and there are lots of oddities that help us there, like chandeliers made from skulls and bones and songs and other traditions like “ash Wednesday” etc .
Anyways, my point is death can be and probably should be terrifying. It depends on how you harness that energy. You can practice for death. Seeing a number, I think it’s good practice. It shouldn’t be morbid, if you ask me. Everybody poops, everybody dies. Feel free to reflect on death to help yourself appreciate life.
Edit: I guess if you believe in no after life it doesn’t really matter right? But I still think it’s worth it to try and make my last few moments on earth less terrifying, even if I am sent into a nothingness afterwards.
- jareklupinski 3y ago> the two most important moments in your life are how/why you are born and how/why you die everyone starts and ends the exact same way (a vague 'clicking in', and a bright light/tunnel), and some of us through ritual even experience momentous occasions similarly (confirmation, communion, holidays), but the only way we differentiate ourselves amongst other people is through the choices we make in the moments between the two bookends ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that good stuff in between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoKluzn07eQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoKluzn07eQ
