How to not fear death

[Julio Juliopolis]

Imagine if we could not die. Sounds great, right? To go on forever and ever. Until perhaps one day someone beheads you. And you still go on forever. The fluids drain out from you. Everything dries up. Your tongue swells and becomes calloused sore. Soon you lose your sight, but now an itch in your eyes lasts forever. Your brain tissue becomes brittle. It is said that in the end times there will be those who beg for death but for them it will not come.

Death is not our enemy. Death is our safety net. It releases us before things truly become unbearable, and will not take us a second earlier. It knows we cannot bear our bodies for more than a few minutes without oxygen, a few days without water, a couple months without food; and it always gives us those seconds, days, and months before taking us. It is why nobody has ever had to spend even an hour living as a decapitated head. It even gives us a chance to watch our whole lives flash in front of our eyes again at the moment of death.

To understand this is to not fear death. The next task is learning to not fear the loss of this world.

I mostly agree with what you say, I would like to add, that death is coming every moment, death comes when you closes your eyes to refresh them, death comes when you get rid of a belief, and everytime we call death we must know, that its for even more life... I think that loss of a world is death, because what else it should be ?

Fear is the only thing that prevents us from possibilities and option
fear is then in his way of preventing us from doing something hiding behind anger,boredom, allknowing cleverness, disgustion, grief and mysery

and for that there is joke, happiness , magic and other good s we have to replace the fear with...
