How do you feel about/cope with Death?

[STINGRAY]

I just turned 40 last month and that's when it really hit me,....Just have to not dwell and live as you can.

Action, be it purposeful or not, helps the self avoid the self.

Still...If you think that 40 was jarring...

Well...50 is gonna smack you like a brick between the eyes.

At 50 I realized that I was no longer that 'bright young guy' that I had always been...that I used to be.

Still, currently at 59...things aren`t so bad...beats the only alternative...and..
I plan upon being dragged kicking and screaming to old age.

The thing with death is, I have no control over it. Anyone I love can die at any minute, or I could get hit by a bus or something. One day my number will come. The way I see it is, I have a finite number of years, so I cannot dwell on that. If I died today, then so be it. I obviously would prefer to live as long as possible, but when you live life in the fear of death, often you forget to live. So, my plan is to make sure I enjoy the years I have operating under the assumption that I am not dying today. One day, I will be wrong. But for me, it is the only way to really live.

Yepper--The Randomness of Life is both a curse..and a blessing.

On the one hand, Uncertainty is unsettling by it`s very nature..
But Impermanence makes so much of life so much sweeter...
if one is prone to such introspection... to an extent.

Enjoyment of The Moment without getting bogged down in The Moment is the key. Too much, too far into the fleeting and random nature of existence and the only consequence can be Morbidity, which is itself, the very death of Joi De Vivre.

The old 'Highlander' concept explored this, both in the original film and to a greater extent, in the tv series.
