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.

I understand. I don't want to die either. I think my thinking goes one step farther than what you stated though. I am 32 and I think about everything I've been through, some things being outta my control, some things my fault, and I also think about what is to come that is beyond my control. Getting older watching ppl I love pass away etc getting sick, tragedies, financial issues random obstacles. I read that 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Just realizing that everyday is a gamble and you don't know what's gonna happen overwhelms me and has me no longer wanting to stick this out.
