If we do believe in death, we would do things differently. This is a better approach – to know that you are going to die, and to be prepared for it anytime. We never know when the day will come. Everyday is a precious day, so treasure it. “ Today is a gift, tomorrow is a mystery”, so be glad to find yourself still alive every morning when you wake up. No one can guarantee what will happen after you fall asleep every night. That’s what I do. Everyday, I ask myself, “ Is today the day? Am I ready yet?” I am prepared and that’s why I’m not in any sense afraid of dying.
Knowing that we are going to die one day, we should try to live meaningfully. If we are notified somehow that today is going to be our last day, certainly there will be a lot of things that we want to do but haven’t . So do what you want to do and be the person you want to be. Never have it delayed, or you might not have the chance to do it. Remember, learn how to die, and you learn how to live. Focus on the essentials and strip away the useless things.
So, remember to spend your days more meaningfully. I don’t have much left, my time is almost done. And that’s why I appreciate things more than others do. That’s what you have to do. Never take things for granted, but treasure everything you got – friendship, love, happiness… as that’s what forever supporting you and encouraging you to go on.
If we can face and believe in death, we will do things differently and view them from a different aspect. There’s no use to regret when we leave as we are already fully prepared and there is nothing to lose. Anyway, dying isn’t that horrible. It might be the end, but also the beginning. Take flowers for an example, if they don’t wilt, there won’t be nutrients provided in the soil for the growth of a new plant. The giving up of something may bring good to another thing.
Therefore, I truly hope that all of you can face death optimistically. Try to think it in a better way and do all you can to prepare for it. There isn’t much time left. Remember, we never know what’s going to happen next.
Thank you.
Very wise comments – clearly and thoughtfully expressed. I’ve underlined some mistakes.
