Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

How to Die: The Question Of A Meaningless Life

By Jennifer T. Pearsall


What exactly is it about our life which makes a lot of individuals feel that life is ultimately pointless and less of value? The fact that all of us will eventually cease to live is 1 grounds for these feelings, however the exact thing is, it really is not the only reason. One other main reason why many individuals feel that life is ultimately worthless is that, as far as science could tell, there isn't any significantly greater purpose for our very own lives, to live and to die. Out of these halfway senseless thoughts one main factor why people gave up life is normally they cannot take life any longer, in which they can't manage life in proper way. If you think this way, if these are all running all over inside your thoughts, would you really prefer to know how to die?

Learning How to Die Is Learning The Best Way To Live

Death appears to render life pointless and senseless for lots of individuals simply because they feel that there is no reason in improving character or maximizing knowledge, having objectives, aiming achievements, making dreams if our progress is ultimately going to be beaten down simply by death.

Nevertheless, there's a point in developing character and increasing information prior to death overtakes us: to supply peace of mind and intellectual satisfaction to our lives and to the lives of those we care about for their very own sake due to the fact pursuing these goals enriches our lives. From the fact that death is inevitable it will not follow that nothing at all we do matters now. Through thinking all of these we are truly contemplating find out how to reside life, the way to manage flaws and methods to eradicate errors. We are actually thinking of considerably reinforcement to take courage and will of living life.

How to Die Is not The Only Option

All of these considerations show that all of us should develop or do something about life and our very own meaning for our own lives regardless of whether or not our lives serve some higher purpose. Whether or not our own lives are significant to us depends on how we assess and conceptualize them. The absence or existence of greater purpose is as irrelevant as the finality of death.

Questions regarding the meaning of life are questions about values. People attribute values to things in life rather than uncovering them. There can be no meaning of life outside of the meaning we all make for ourselves since the world is not a sentient being that can attribute values to things. We all need to always search for values into everything as a way to give relevance in living.
