I could easily write a 10,000 word essay on why it is ridiculous to be freaked out by death - and mean every word of it - but still

:fok:
Could you please do this? I have been freaked out by aging/death since I was a kid. I went thru a period where it didn't bother me for a decade or so, but recently it's been on my mind a lot. As a Christian (no comments from the peanut gallery please) it ishould not scare me, but it does.
 
There is a disconnect between intellect and gut feeling.

I could write the essay but it would be disingenuous. I guess we are all saddled with this survival instinct whether we like/want it or not. We are programmed to be freaked out.

Few are the people who would be sincerely indifferent to a gun to the head.
 
If someone ever puts a gun to my head, I just hope that no one is going to be filming that. I'm going to beg like a little bitch.

I keep rewatching the clip of that cop who got shot in the head by the Charlie Hebdo killers. He was already shot and lying on the ground and he saw his executioner run towards him. His first instinct was to put his hands up and plead with the guy, but then he realized that his fate was sealed and he just looked away at the last moment.
