Sukihotu,
Yesterday I wrote about why we shouldn't fear death. I explained that instead of worrying about death which is something we cannot control, we should spend time to cultivate good values.
Besides facing "judgement day" after death which puts a lot of people worry and fear death. Anyway, today I would like to expand further on this topic. I think another reason why most people fear death is that they cannot stand the real fact that they will lose everything they had in this world when they pass away.
Upon death, they will lose their family whom they have lived with in their whole lives. They will lose their property which they have earn through hard work. They will lose eating their favorite food, watching their favorite movie, wearing their favorite cloths and everything else they can do if they are still alive.
They are so attached to these things. They cannot imagine losing it all.
But in reality, death will come calling no matter how much property you have. Here is a little story I wrote about how a King upon near death, he tried to bribe the angle of death but not successful. Because, when death come knocking your door, you game is over.
I hope you practice restraint and not be too attach to things in life. Otherwise you may suffer more when the time comes. Try letting go of things one by one when we are still alive.
Of course, the main reason why people fear death is that they do not know where do they go to after death. I'll discuss this another day.
