From the author: People are afraid of death. It's natural and easy. It is difficult to understand her. It is even more difficult to fall in love. Have you seen people? Did you hear their conversations? What else, besides food, work and love, arises in their minds when they talk about the three mentioned objects of their own passion? Death. Horror. Disasters. Destruction. Diseases. Why would this be? I noticed that many people have a very strange attitude towards death. Death frightens, puts you into a stupor, shock, and numbness. We try to drive away any thoughts about death, to run away from them, apparently believing that by getting rid of thoughts, we will be able to avoid reality. Or – on the contrary, we savor the details of what happened – but, of course, not with us. As if hoping, and maybe even proud, that the Sacrifice to the inevitable has already been made. And thus we are freed from the need to pay it personally. You can read an interesting book, watch TV, call a friend or friend. Gossip. Avoid thinking in all possible ways, or even the very possibility of thinking. As long as he somehow doesn’t get caught up in the topic of death seriously. To do everything possible so that death, as a phenomenon, does not exist at all in our lives. If our relative, acquaintance, or famous artist dies, we get very upset, start thinking about it, and perhaps fall into one form of depression or another. But, after some time, we forget about this sad incident and continue to live as before. It was as if nothing had happened. Death is an area that one should not enter, terra incognito. This attitude is the very anchor that was set by parents, grandmothers, society, and those who raised us in childhood. And this anchor is very simple: don’t think about it, it doesn’t concern you. For a visual illustration, you can show an electric pole with Adam's head and the inscription - "DO NOT CLIMB, IT WILL KILL YOU." This is effective for childhood. Is it worth it to grow up - after all, it is Knowledge about terrible things that is the privilege of an adult. So we live with this anchor all our lives. Like people who were told that they would live happily ever after. That they are practically immortal. And, we live like cute ostriches who, in case of danger, bury their heads in the sand. I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, and everything that happens is not with me and will never happen to me. And when the danger has passed, we continue to live like immortals. That's funny. But this is how we live. If you carefully consider the dying of any creature, you can understand that this is an absolutely normal and natural process. Really normal. There is nothing terrible or ominous in death as such. Day turns to night, tides turn to high tides, seasons change... We fall asleep and wake up...Everything in nature is constantly changing. There is nothing permanent. Every cell of our body changes, in every cell of the body the old dissolves and the new arises. Continuously. This is such a small death in miniature. We're not sad because we cut our hair, are we? Or did you take a shower? Undoubtedly, parting with your body is not easy. And many of us will probably suffer... This is not about that. In my opinion, you should change your attitude towards death, in principle. In the depths of consciousness, understand that this is NORMAL. Can we somehow influence death? Can we at least somehow delay it? I hear on every corner: one person has cancer, another has cancer, another has a heart attack. And it's endless. Together we begin to be treated for cancer, for a heart attack. We hang around the thresholds of hospitals and clinics, begging doctors and healers to help. We become slaves-hostages of the pharmaceutical industry. But who can help? Who can really help? I would like to look into the eyes of an immortal man, if he exists. I am writing these lines not in order to cross the road at a red light, and not in order to hang out in a restaurant forever after reading the article. No, not at all. In my opinion, our lives will become much more harmonious if we change our attitude towards death. Death is a natural function of the body. And the sooner we understand this, the.
