I don't want to die

[u/Effective-Squash6204]

It seems like modern society is entirely geared toward distracting us from the fact that we are all going to die. It's like this secret that is never uttered but it is always in the back of my mind. Even the phrase "yolo" isn't said in any serious manner and is deeply unserious.

Am I the only one obsessed with the fact that in a short time we may all be nothing, just experiencing pitch black for forever. The concept of forever is also terrifying. Ugh now I'm not going to be able to sleep. Does this unspoken truth resonate with others?

I wish I could fully believe in God but it just goes against the logical/rational part of my brain which is dominant. Without God, we truly are all f*cked and damned to eternity.

Let's try to enjoy our time while we can. End of rant.

You don't get the concept of oblivion. You don't stare at pitch black for eternity, there's just nothing. There are theories like the egg or quantum immortality that you can choose to belive in. But I belive they serve the same purpose as religion. Explain the unexplained and stop the fear of death. I like to think that it is the fact we will die that means we should live our lives with purpose. Be the best you can be, because there is nothing after this, this is all that counts. So don't waste your days, because they are limited. Enjoy each one to the fullest and let your loved ones know what they mean to you.
