Death holds no fear

Watching the first 25 minutes of Final Destination 5 was an inspiring thrill and it was magical to have survived the last 25 minutes. But one can't help feeling panphobic — the dreadful fear of everything around you.  Most of us must cringe at the thought of our eventual demise, but hardly are we scared to the extent of fearing that death might occur anywhere, anytime. Well, Final Destination 5 really allows your imagination to run wild, perhaps unfavorably wild.

What if one fine day you were walking and the ground beneath you crashed? Wouldn't you just disappear without warning, without saying goodbye? What would it feel like to have loved ones crying over you and the Civil Defence digging your charred, broken body out of debris?

Guilt: Does guilt increase one's chances of death? Like, if I've taken something I didn't deserve, will retribution hit me and draw the life blood from me? What will it be like, knowing that Death awaits you because of some evil deed you've done? Like if you hate upon someone and wished him dead in a fit of anger, will you suffer death as punishment?

Ah, figured out 3 ways to calm myself:

1) Have a clear conscience. "It's the choices you make that determine who you are." Don't make choices which you will regret later, always do what you think and know is right.

2)  Have no regrets."Anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried anything new.” Live life to the fullest and cherish every moment of it, embrace your mistakes and move on with stride. 

Live life as it comes and cherish every moment of it, don't waste time regretting mistakes

3) Don't hold back. Do everything you can and not think back and wonder, 'if only'. Even if you're unsure whether things will work out, just give it your all and not be afraid to exceed your own limits.



So let's all live life to the fullest. By this, I mean living on a daily basis. Greet your loved ones, show them you care. Start writing the book you've always wanted to. Go get some exercise. Eat, sleep and rest well. By making each day count, we need not fear death after all :)
