Who isn’t afraid of death? By only thinking about it, people become nervous, angry or depressed. Knowing that our life is going to end someday, becomes in the most tragic thought you could have. One day, when I was about 6 years old, my grandfather died and I remember watching everyone crying and depressed, and I never understood why until later on when I became conscious that one day, sooner or later, it all ends.When you realize about death, we appreciate more everything. Every second, we are closer to death and there’s nothing you can do about to stop the clock from ticking. Talking about it, thinking about it, even dreaming about it, is uncomfortable.
I’d always question myself, what will happen to me when I’m gone? I think that you can’t just disappear and that’s the end of your story, something else MUST happen! But after reading chapter one I realized that instead of worrying about what will happen to me after life, I should start enjoying it because you never know when death is coming upon us. Every moment can be our last and I’d came to realize that you need to enjoy life as much as you can while you have it because as Savater quotes “Although at times death may seem improbable, it is always possible”.
I know Erick almost all the people think bad things about death, people is scared of it, but as the book says “we cannot fear something that we haven’t experience”, and that’s true everyone knows each one of us will die, but we have to enjoy life because it can end in any time.
ResponderEliminarI'm gonna have to agree with you. Who isn't afraid of death? I don't remember quite exactly when was the first time I realized everything will come to an end eventually, but, just like you, I started to appreciate more everything. My family more than anything. Not because I was afraid of dying, but because I was afraid of one of my family members passing away.
ResponderEliminarI've also questioned myself a lot about my death. I guess we're just gonna have to wait and see.
Just as Erick said I am afraid of death, I always wonder what is going to happen to me after I am gone? I think that when you get sick or have been near death is when you must appreciate life, beacuse you do know someday all is going to end. I ask the same questio Erick asks himself what will happen to me after I am dead? I thought that was an interesting chapter.
