Fear of Death / Todesangst / Medo da Morte / Miedo a la Muerte

I have often puzzled and puzzled, about what it must be like, to go to sleep and never wake up, to be, simply not there, forever and ever.

But we are inclined to have in our mind, a picture of this, of being shut up in the dark for always and always, to be kind of buried alive in the blackness.

And we think, ‘Ooh this is it. This is the end.’ And so at death we withdraw, ‘No no no, not that Not yet Please!’

And you accepted it. And suddenly something changed. There was a strange feeling that everything is absolutely clear. You suddenly see that there isn’t a grain of dust in the whole universe that’s in the wrong place.

The reason we die is to give us the opportunity to understand what live is all about.

Just think.

When you opened your eyes on the World, for the first time as a child. How brilliant colors were. What a jewel the sun was. What marvel the stars.

Memento Mori – Be mindful of death.

Life is short, and shortly it will end;

Death comes quickly and respects no one,

Death destroys everything and takes pity on no one.

To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.

If you do not turn back and become like a child,

And change your life for the better,

You will not be able to enter, blessed, the Kingdom of God.

To death we are hastening, let us refrain from sinning.
