We are always doing something to cover up our basic existential anxiety. Some people live that way until the day they die.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of us harbour a significant amount of subconscious fear about death, and act out of this fear in our daily lives.
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
A lot of people have found the idea of living your life over and over again absolutely terrifying; there's some people that find it very comforting. There are others that are appalled by it.
You get rid of the fear of death by understanding that it is an integral fact of our existence. You do that through will and reason.
I know mortality exists, but I cannot do anything about it. So it does not make me anxious.
Some people, when they die, leave so much life behind that we wonder how they did it.
Joy of living is sustainable; fear of dying is not.
I think about death most of the day, every day. We can't escape death, and choosing to ignore it only makes it more scary.
There's nothing like impending death to rouse you from existential boredom.
The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.
