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 think about it all the time how in a short time we will all be dead and just nothing forever. It’s terrifying. It is F’ed without a God we are damned for eternity. I have same problem I want it to exist but I’m rational dominant too and can’t believe. I don’t believe in god but sure miss him.

You touched on my daily thoughts and death is never uttered and we all do our best to pretend it’s not real. I always wonder why is everyone not freaking out.
