I am not an athei...I feel like that sometimes, too. I am not an atheist but I still don't want to die. I want to see what happens in the world 40-50 years from now (I'm in my early 60's so consider myself on the downside of life). I love the change of seasons, my family, people, life in general. When I find myself being mentally sucked into the fear and realization that my days are numbered, I remember people I know who died young and never even got to live a life. I look at being dead as how I feel when I am asleep...unaware of everything that is going on around me and not really caring as I am asleep. Maybe that's where the phrase "dead to the world" comes from when describing someone who is sound asleep. The best we can do is take the life we have and use it to make other people's lives better...be kind, considerate and smile often. After all, not everyone is as morbid as we are. No use fighting the inevitable. When you start to feel depressed about it, try to replace the thought with something pleasant. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
