I Don't Fear Death

If I told you I didn't fear death I'd be lying. The dying part doesn't bother me as much as the part that comes after. The unknown. Could be nothing and I simple cease existing or not. Its the "or not" part that gets me.

Do not fear death or the unknown. In the words of the great Chief Tecumseh:

[i][c=#003BB2]“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

"Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

"When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

"When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.”

@InfantryFlamingo Nothing yet. I just graduated university back in May. I meant the desk in my room there (and now my desk here at home).

@sarabee1995 congratulations on graduating! I hope you find a good career.

@InfantryFlamingo Well I've made a decision already (actually made it months ago), but I don't start until October 1. I'm entering the military.

I've always agreed with Woody Allen: "I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
