Death

Something that, because we know it's inevitable, we learn to develop a constructive relationship with it. Death is not something we like, and we do all we can to avoid it as long as possible, yet it's something that awaits every single one of us. Hence why we accept it. Death is inevitable. It can be delayed by 10-20 years with a healthy lifestyle (almost any person who lives an above average healthy life can live well into their 90's without trouble) but it can not be avoided entirely. It awaits us whether we like it or not. And it's terrifyingly close. If you think about it, the 80 years that you're alive aren't that long. If you go back to the middle ages, a period of 80 years would literally take up like 1/4 of a page of a history book. Does 1 week feel like a short time? Well good, because you're now down to 4,999. 5000 weeks is how long we live. That's not that many. If you think about it, death is terrifyingly close to even the youngest and healthiest of us. Yet we don't fear it and we ignore it for the first three quarters of our life or more. I don't fear death because I believe in eternal life, and I believe that the 5,000 weeks or less I live is nothing compared to eternal life.
