Things have been so much better.
I know I talk about it a lot, but it really is so important to embrace death.
I see a lot of people suffer because they are afraid...
They're only afraid because they don't want to die.
I'm not saying anyone should WANT to die.
I'm not saying go out and act like a moron and do dangerous/dumb shit because you don't care if you live or die.
But I am saying that emotions like fear and stress ARE death...
Those kind of feelings slowly kill you.
However if you can have an almost psychotic lack of fear, and an almost romantic love for death...
It's so much easier not to care about anything bad that happens, whether the situation is acute or just vaguely impending.
We should love death just as much as we love life. Maybe in different ways, sure.
We should respect death, but not a fearful respect...
We should have a compassionate respect for death.
Age and oldness should be viewed as death's process, and this isn't something people can ACCEPT and appreciate if they are full of fear and negative feelings toward death...
This is why so many people lament age etc.
Although I wouldn't be honest if I said that growing elderly is something I personally care to do...
Death can be respected and appreciated whether it comes at the end of 80 years, or 30 years.
