I'm not ready to die as yet. I am very young, I have so many dreams I want to acomplish, I want to see my son going to a mission and then getting married. I want to have more children...wow...there are so many things I wanna do. Definetly, I'm not ready to go to the other side as yet. Too many things need to be accomplished still.
Offtopic but,
Huh? Should I call your family or Bishop? I read some of your posts and you start to worry me. You are so young, so much to live for, a person at your present time, should not be thinking about being ready to die, but being ready to live. Ifyou want, we can continue this discussion in your introduction thread. |
So, Pawn, do you think you are prepared to die? Whatever that means. I am not sure it is the same as wanting to die. I don't think I am prepared to die. I still have a lot to accomplish here on earth first. I happen to think there is a lot for which to live.
I believe that life is what you make of it. Even if you don't have any loved ones for which you want to live, there is the simple beauties of life we experience each day. All one needs to do is look for them. It is true that there is a lot not so beautiful to find as well. It is up to us to choose our focus. I choose to focus on the good.
Thinking about it logically, life doesn't mean anything. A single life time, even if full with good deeds, is nothing compared to the life of the whole earth, which too, in it's turn, will die.
But then, what does logic matter? If we'd all follow our logic, many will find no need in life, and either die or have a meaningless, mechanical life. That is usually what happens to people who's intelligence is greater than their emotion. And that's probably why emotion and instincts have evolved. To let human beings become smarter while still wanting to live.
So yes, I'm prepares to live as I will always be. but I'll try to live as much as I can and produce the most of it.
I used to feel ready to die for most of my life, as I had my beliefs strong about afterlife. It is true that in dangerous moments i guess a natural instinct of preservation made me feel a dose of fear, yet ,I didnt experience any kind of anxiety at all about death. However as I got more solid goals on my life, and I found someone who loved me at last, now I do wish not to die at anytime, specially because i have many plans with her.
