I like a metaphor I once heard. Life is like a party. We don't spend our time at the party fearing for it to end. We engage with it, have fun, dance, meet people, drink a little... or a lot... and then it ends. I don't know about you, but I want to be the guy that leaves the party with a smile knowing I made the most of it; not the guy that sat in the corner biting his nails counting the very seconds when the lights would go out and it is all over.
The only difference is that life can end at any moment. You know when a party might end, and it will surely not end abruptly, but that can happen with life.
I'm always worried about this topic, but I've found a way to cope with it. I'm young, and I have loads of life left in me. I can love, laugh, hate and despair. Once you get old, it seems that most older people accept the thought of death. When my great grandparents passed away, they where ready for it. They were ready for the endless sleep. Just distract yourself from death until you get old and finally accept it.
But does that mean life just gets more miserable as you age, so you are relieved when you get to the end? Even struggling with depression, thoughts of suicide and my own failures and ineptitudes, I still want to be alive. But what’s the point if it’s just downhill from here and I’m going to wish for death even more as my life continues?
I’m 13 and sometimes I get fricking terrified of random thoughts about death and it’s kind of weird how death is really not any different from falling asleep at night
I have been scared of death…I got panic attacks, and I always been scared but now I know I can’t just Worry about it, I need to live and enjoy it’s something I can’t control. Reading some of the comment I feel better knowing I’m not alone that here are people that are scared just like me.
It's hard for me to grasp the concept that one day I'll be nothing, I'll feel nothing, I'll see nothing and I won't be able to be happy, that will be the end of my story and no continuation. It's scary...
If there is a afterlife great if not we'll then there would be no caring about it or anything for that matter. Death sounds scary but if there is nothing than there is nothing to fear after you die. Also it seems though after being conscious nothing ness for all eternity sure does seems like an awfully long time for nothing to happen forever ever again...right? Kinda gives me hope
I've recently had some existential anxiety and find it funny to have stumbled upon this. Unfortunately, I've been a "complain on the sidelines" kind of person lately - the hardest part is finding that thing I want to do! Finding that drive, that "something" that makes me feel alive. Thank you for the video!
yeah this is very true, once you grow older you become more aware of life itself I've find it hard to grasp that one day I will perish. I have things to work towards so that is a good sign but like mentioned in the video at the end it won't matter when I die its a mind boggling thought. Accepting this is going go be harder than I thought since I have daily occurrences of thinking about death and what is going to happen.
@@themanwithapan9313 well this comment is two years old and today I don't think about it as.much I have accepted this and I've found a way to deal with it better then when I made this comment.
Well good news is that there is hope for you. There is a God, an afterlife of eternal bliss! This is the good news, the hope and joy of the gospel! Well sadly enough there will be also an after life of torment. In this world the puzzle for life, the deaths, the evil doesn’t fit perfectly. I invite you to God! I invite you to Jesus Christ, through Him there is forgiveness of sins which causes death in the first place. If you believe that He rose from the dead on the third day according to scriptures, you will be cleansed and made new! Your life will be an endless journey to joy and of hope. Your will come out from your grave and all of the deeds you did in the dark which robs joy. Instead of chasing empty things. I invite you to the cross, I invite you to a world of eternal bliss and happiness that we can’t even comprehend! It’s only by Jesus Christ we can be saved. Which we don’t deserve. Hope is still there! May the peace and grace of God be with you.
@@jadehunter8865 I’m glad to follow up with this, it’s been 4 years of this comment and today I’m at peace. I’ve changed my mindset completely and just try to stay present and positive. I practice gratitude and I put life in perspective and just focus on living and enjoying my life basically just sitting back for the ride if that makes any sense while maintaining peace, love, positivity and looking ahead into what I can control and that’s it. I had to do a lot of internal work and today I’m at peace with my own death.
I hate getting high and watching these videos. But the video is full of straight kick to the mouth truth and he's basically saying that, no one really can comprehend the thought of death. That we haven't been able to develop that part of the conscience. So the best thing we can do is to strive on and embrace the love, laughter, moments, and gains that the world has to offer. Me personally I'm 22 and i can never wrap my head around the fact of not waking up. And I try to ask people their opinion on the matter but no one ever wants to talk about it.
Man I got really high last night after taking a long tolerance break and I randomly thought about what death would be like from a first person POV. It spooked me so badly I had to lay down. My thought of death felt so real and I was partially convinced that what I thought is what death would be like. I know I was just high but it lasted in my mind the whole evening and it’s been a bit difficult for me to shake off. This had never happened during the past 2 years I smoked. Has this ever happened to you? If so, how do you shake it and feel normal?
@@titankiller2013 hey man, sorry that happened to you. It's truly a life changing thing when it happens. Since the whole incident I had, I reached out to people who had died for a brief period of time but were revived. I asked them all if the fear of death is worse than actually being dead, and they all said yes, and they all seemed very sure of it. They all said it's very very peaceful, so I imagine it's like having the best sleep you've ever had. Plus I was told that once you get older, there's a different kind of tired that's beyond physical, to where death doesn't seem bad anymore. One thing I could recommend to you is to not smoke anymore for a while, you were probably feeling the effects of depersonalization and thought "one day this television screen will be turned off." Thoughts like this are much scarier when you're absolutely blasted out of your mind. After 6 months of me not smoking (which was actually way easier after having a bad experience), my mind isn't on death anymore, and things have gotten better. Weed makes you look at your life almost from a 4D Birds Eye view, which only leads to a person overthinking. Once you stop smoking you'll get out of that 4D Birds Eye view, which is honestly a bit of a waste of time, and you'll start seeing things regularly again. Try practicing thinking how you do when you're high, but without smoking, so true honesty despite feelings and biases, and with factual info. The best thing we can do to my knowledge, and it's not too much yet because I'm only 22, is live out our lives to the fullest, have children and make a positive mark on them, create something that will outlive you, and have faith that somewhere out there, there is a form of a God and that in the end he will take care of you. Some people when they died said it felt like they "went back home to the source", so do with that info what you will. I'm not talking about a magical sky daddy of any sort, but an invisible force that animates all of the universe and keeps everything in order. I really don't think you have to become a Bible thumping evangelical Christian because believe me I tried it and it was so hard to do it and didn't feel like me. I accept Jesus as my savior because I agree with all of his teachings, but I'm not going to be one of those people who hates others just because the Bible speaks badly on them. Plus how do we know which religion really is the true one? How do we know none of this stuff was just made up? Why did all this crazy stuff happen back then but nothing now? Maybe it's best to look at the layers of truth from all religions and look at the stories in a metaphorical sense but not become too fixated on one particular religion. Like uncle iroh said from the last air bender, if you're too focused on using one element, you become rigid, so be balanced. This can apply to all things really, even religion. Take all the truths from each religion, apply it to your life, try to make your life and world better in some way, and try to live your life to the fullest. From what we can see now, we've only got one ticket to ride in our pockets right now, so make good use of it! Who knows, maybe after the ride is over there's a cool ass gift shop with pictures that were taken after you got off of it. We won't know till we're there. Sometimes in old age when there's no more surprises in life, death will be the next one we weirdly look forward to. Hope this helps in some way. Do not be afraid to ask me questions or chat with me on this. It absolutely sucks going thru what you're going through and I'd like to help anyone who is since I didn't have much help when I was. Just know that in the end, there's not gonna be anything too overwhelming that we all won't be able to handle.
@@bandolierboy1908 you explained it exactly. ive been dealing with this feeling since i was 8, and ill be 22 in a few days. i hope i can shake it at some point because its beyond weight to carry and is really all i can remember feeling now. i dont remember what it was like to just live without the intruding thoughts of death or just not being. i feel ill take this restlessness to my grave.
@topangacooter Hi. I'm 21 and I've recently started thinking about death and having extreme death anxiety. I can't barely eat or drink, I look at my family and I cry cause they will die someday and I cry because I will die too and I'm scared of what happens after death. I really hope reincarnation isn't real and I hope that we can just rest in piece, but not knowing makes me go crazy. It's like what's the point of life if we all are going to die? What goals can I possibly have to make me feel fullfield? It's hard and I want to get back to my normal state where I don't spend the whole day thinking about death. I want to live while I can and be distracted by my little goals
I'm below the age of 15 - not saying my age becuase. And I'm having serious attacks late at night just watching UA-cam, then I get really emotional and just wonder is it an empty black space just floating, and how I will cope over my parents loss
suppa_ succ glad to know I’m not alone. I’m 14 and sometimes when I just take a shower or something a dark cloud comes over me (metaphorically of course) and I start severely fearing death, but I think it’s just a normal part of life.
@@katelynnehansen8115 if you ceased, you wouldn’t be afraid of death because it would be coded in your dna. Animals aren’t scared of death(though they’re scared of dying but that’s different) people have lived and died before us and if death really was nothing, I would expect something to tell us, that is the case. The reality is human death is unnatural. We aren’t meant to die, and what awaits us after death is what terrifies us because we’ve never experienced it and it’s unnatural. We aren’t apes or chimps or whatever. They don’t fear what comes next. They just live their lives, and inevitably die, having really learned or gained nothing as they aren’t even aware they even exist. But you are and that’s what terrifies you. It’s embedded in your core.
@@kingrobotnik6950 if there is nothing after death how could anything possibly tell us that? Think about what you’re saying. By definition you are an ape. You are also a mammal and an animal and a eukaryote. Definitions don’t care about our superstitions or need to feel superior.
@@kingrobotnik6950 What animal does not fight like hell to stay alive? How do you know they don’t fear some nonsense they imagine happens after death? Have you asked them? Many animals are self aware, including other apes, dolphins, and elephants. They are highly intelligent and it is only your arrogance and fear that makes you believe you are so separate and above them. You are so deeply ignorant about Biology yet think to teach me. It’s insulting.
This video has consistently helped inspire and devote myself to reaching my goals, better than anything the internet has provided me over my life time. Time and time again I return. I thank this channel for this video it’s a blessing in my life
Yes. That is exactly what he is saying. You are going to die at some point regardless, it isn’t something you can have much say in. So in the meantime better to be enjoying your distractions and passions instead of worrying about something that is for sure going to happen.
i sometimes have breakdowns and just say to myself that i’m gonna die one day and it is going to happen, it happens to everyone and it’s gonna happen to me. It honestly terrifies me to think that it’s just sleep but also nothing no heartbeat. I love sleep but the thought of never waking up again is just terrifying. I’ve been having these thoughts since i was around 7 and i’m not 14 and still think abt it
Same, im 18 and i have These thoughts for like 5 years… just the thought of Never seeing My Family, laughing eating Food and all that for eternity, Freaks the sh*t outta me.
You know what's more terrifying than death Its knowing you are in the process of dying conciousness is a double edge swoard . For the healthy youngster out the don't lose the best years of your life worrying about what might happen concentrat on enjoying . Appreciating those around you and develope yoursellf and if you are studying dont stress too much about it either try to enjoy it but you . Your family and friends should come first .
These thoughts are kinda disturbing for me as this discouraged me to do nothing, sitting at a corner. But what else we can do about it. All we can do to enjoy, achieve, and see the beauty of our surroundings Thanks for this video, I hope I'll overcome this thought:). "We take birth and die thats the beauty of our lives." - :) Enjoy our day guys, don't waste it👍
Iam 31 been having fear of death since I was a young boy aslong as I can remember I find it hard to sleep Iam stressed all the time just never stops just gets worse the older I get and just feel what is the point in living if we going to die anyway and the thought that there is nothing after death really gets me Iam so fed up wish I could be normal
Me too dude.... I have been having thoughts like this since I was a kid. I'm currently having a panic attack and watched this video. I thought it would help. But the fear is still here my bones are rattling and my cats are here but I feel nothing. I feel so lost I've always been a people watcher and now I've realized I'm a person I'm alive and I'm just watching people live. And where am I. Sitting here thinking about one day it all ends. I don't want to be scared.
@@giacolorado6540yes same dude, im 18 and have These thoughts Since im 14 or so… the thought of Never existing again for eternity is so scary i get panic attacks and i could just scream.
I’m not necessarily afraid of working towards nothing. I’m just scared of not getting to exist anymore. It’s a frightening thought. And to feel death. Ugh man.
I'm 12 and i think every night about death . It keeps me awake . I feel like crying and ending it . But then I think that i will end it to fast but why should I do anything if it won't help at all . How could I do anything if I know that some day it won't matter because no one is gonna remember me . I will never get over this . I don't even believe in god so heaven doesn't help . I might just die any moment . After some time I started to think that I'm wasteing my time doing nothing with it . I feel like I'm not enjoying my life as much as I should . I'm fat and i would never get over it . I feel like I should lose weight but then I get stuck because I'm to lasy to do anything . I don't think anyone will read this comment as i am just a person in a group of millions .
I read it and can feel you. I am a Christian and I also feel this way many times. But what can we do instead of enjoying the little time we are visiting this planet called earth? We should make our life at least a bit worthwhile, don't you think ? 🤗
At 32, I have no more answer than you, other than that, the bad and wonderfully good of the past decade have been worth it. And even at my lowest points, when I’m convinced that it would be best I died so my husband could find a better mother for the kids, I’m still here, still trying. Because living and struggling and striving every day, is better than the thought of not living at all. Even the bad days, are better than no days, so make the most of each moment you have.
Life isn't easy, but I personally believe that being scared of death is irrational because it will happen, so instead of being scared of it you should realise that if nothing matters that let's you do whatever you want, I mean why be lazy if you can do other things, whatever you want really, and if thats being lazy, that's ok for you I guess, but being afraid of death is not what you should focus on
I've been so so so scared the for longest time now. Almost every night I panic so much because of the dread I feel . I dont want to die. I'm scared. I don't want to not exist this is scaring me so much ... I needed something of reassurance. I got some
I have little fear about dying, I believe there is something better after our earth experience. I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior died for ALL of our sins, He is risen and lives today. He loves each and everyone of us and knows what is in our heart. I look forward to seeing him and ALL my friends and relatives who have gone before me. Thank you for dying for my sins and loving me and always providing me my every need. 💜🕊
None of this is truly significant really. The universe doesn't care in the slightest about us, or what we do to find "purpose". There's more out there, than down here. If you ask me, it's not worth it.
Nothing is significant at all. Even the universe itself is not significant. The multiverse is not significant. What makes watching a movie with your family any less significant than the multiverse when technically nothing has significance?
Hey where's the other guy? Anyways thanks for your view... I think I was about 9 when I became woke, when I started asking myself the big questions and coming up with the answers only to fing out that my answers were correct
I get confused. Because this I know. Ghosts exhist. Its totally confusing. I know ghosts exhist. Facts. So it's hard to believe that it all ends at death as I know for facts there are unseen forces... Also hard to believe you exhist at all when u die... It's like wtf
If we cease to exist after death, then the experience of an organism born, (somewhere in the universe) after you've ceased to exist, will be the experience that comes after you're gone. You'll no longer be around anymore to stop that from being the case.
How does that help? All gods that are worshipped today, were invented by people that know far less about the universe than we do. If there is a god, it clearly doesn’t give a single damn about human suffering.
@@asmrslol848 do you? Do you have proof that they worry less about death? Because I’ve heard from many former and current Christians, that the fear of possibly not being good enough and ending up in hell, is a source of serious anxiety for them.
@@asmrslol848 further, no matter how much you want something to be true, doesn’t make it so. Where is the evidence that any religion is likely to be true?

Wow what a great way to describe. Unfortunately I’m that guy right now 😳
I know this was said a year ago, but that exact comparison is made on this channel. It's the "How to Feel High Without Drugs" video.
Wow Such a good metaphor
The only difference is that life can end at any moment. You know when a party might end, and it will surely not end abruptly, but that can happen with life.
Yes but you still exist after the party.

I am twelve and i am contantly living in fear of what happens when i die
suppa_ succ glad to know I’m not alone. I’m 14 and sometimes when I just take a shower or something a dark cloud comes over me (metaphorically of course) and I start severely fearing death, but I think it’s just a normal part of life.
It is not death we fear but the unknown
You made me think of this in a nother way , thank you
I don’t think it’s unknown for me. I will cease to exist. And when it happens, I’ll be incapable of caring. But while alive, it’s terrifying.
@@katelynnehansen8115 if you ceased, you wouldn’t be afraid of death because it would be coded in your dna. Animals aren’t scared of death(though they’re scared of dying but that’s different) people have lived and died before us and if death really was nothing, I would expect something to tell us, that is the case. The reality is human death is unnatural. We aren’t meant to die, and what awaits us after death is what terrifies us because we’ve never experienced it and it’s unnatural. We aren’t apes or chimps or whatever. They don’t fear what comes next. They just live their lives, and inevitably die, having really learned or gained nothing as they aren’t even aware they even exist. But you are and that’s what terrifies you. It’s embedded in your core.
@@kingrobotnik6950 if there is nothing after death how could anything possibly tell us that? Think about what you’re saying.
By definition you are an ape. You are also a mammal and an animal and a eukaryote. Definitions don’t care about our superstitions or need to feel superior.
@@kingrobotnik6950 What animal does not fight like hell to stay alive? How do you know they don’t fear some nonsense they imagine happens after death? Have you asked them?
Many animals are self aware, including other apes, dolphins, and elephants. They are highly intelligent and it is only your arrogance and fear that makes you believe you are so separate and above them.
You are so deeply ignorant about Biology yet think to teach me. It’s insulting.
This video has consistently helped inspire and devote myself to reaching my goals, better than anything the internet has provided me over my life time. Time and time again I return.
I thank this channel for this video it’s a blessing in my life
How To Deal With The Thought Of Dying?
Answer: Distract yourself
Is this basically what he was saying?
@keecefly so... distract yourself
ICANTDISTRSCTFROMCSNBED😂😂😂
Yes. That is exactly what he is saying. You are going to die at some point regardless, it isn’t something you can have much say in. So in the meantime better to be enjoying your distractions and passions instead of worrying about something that is for sure going to happen.
Thank you for making this. Live with love, compassion and humour when you can - We're all in this together!

i sometimes have breakdowns and just say to myself that i’m gonna die one day and it is going to happen, it happens to everyone and it’s gonna happen to me. It honestly terrifies me to think that it’s just sleep but also nothing no heartbeat. I love sleep but the thought of never waking up again is just terrifying. I’ve been having these thoughts since i was around 7 and i’m not 14 and still think abt it
Same, im 18 and i have These thoughts for like 5 years… just the thought of Never seeing My Family, laughing eating Food and all that for eternity, Freaks the sh*t outta me.
You know what's more terrifying than death
Its knowing you are in the process of dying conciousness is a double edge swoard .
For the healthy youngster out the don't lose the best years of your life worrying about what might happen concentrat on enjoying . Appreciating those around you and develope yoursellf and if you are studying dont stress too much about it either try to enjoy it but you . Your family and friends should come first .
These thoughts are kinda disturbing for me as this discouraged me to do nothing, sitting at a corner.
But what else we can do about it. All we can do to enjoy, achieve, and see the beauty of our surroundings
Thanks for this video, I hope I'll overcome this thought:).
"We take birth and die thats the beauty of our lives." - :)
Enjoy our day guys, don't waste it👍
This video is phenominal and helpful.
Yes we should get involved in life. But not as a distraction. We should be aware of death and thus live more selflessly.
Iam 31 been having fear of death since I was a young boy aslong as I can remember I find it hard to sleep Iam stressed all the time just never stops just gets worse the older I get and just feel what is the point in living if we going to die anyway and the thought that there is nothing after death really gets me Iam so fed up wish I could be normal
Me too dude.... I have been having thoughts like this since I was a kid. I'm currently having a panic attack and watched this video. I thought it would help. But the fear is still here my bones are rattling and my cats are here but I feel nothing. I feel so lost I've always been a people watcher and now I've realized I'm a person I'm alive and I'm just watching people live. And where am I. Sitting here thinking about one day it all ends. I don't want to be scared.
@@giacolorado6540yes same dude, im 18 and have These thoughts Since im 14 or so… the thought of Never existing again for eternity is so scary i get panic attacks and i could just scream.
Im terrified of the feeling of sleeping forever with no energy to get up ever again
At least when you sleep you can dream and you’re present, you wouldn’t even have that
@@olorunrises1225thats the scary Point There.
I’m not necessarily afraid of working towards nothing. I’m just scared of not getting to exist anymore. It’s a frightening thought. And to feel death. Ugh man.
This channel deserves more subs
Thank you man. Appreciate that.
I'm 12 and i think every night about death . It keeps me awake . I feel like crying and ending it . But then I think that i will end it to fast but why should I do anything if it won't help at all . How could I do anything if I know that some day it won't matter because no one is gonna remember me . I will never get over this . I don't even believe in god so heaven doesn't help . I might just die any moment .
After some time I started to think that I'm wasteing my time doing nothing with it . I feel like I'm not enjoying my life as much as I should . I'm fat and i would never get over it . I feel like I should lose weight but then I get stuck because I'm to lasy to do anything .
I don't think anyone will read this comment as i am just a person in a group of millions .
I read it and can feel you. I am a Christian and I also feel this way many times. But what can we do instead of enjoying the little time we are visiting this planet called earth? We should make our life at least a bit worthwhile, don't you think ? 🤗
At 32, I have no more answer than you, other than that, the bad and wonderfully good of the past decade have been worth it. And even at my lowest points, when I’m convinced that it would be best I died so my husband could find a better mother for the kids, I’m still here, still trying. Because living and struggling and striving every day, is better than the thought of not living at all. Even the bad days, are better than no days, so make the most of each moment you have.
Life isn't easy, but I personally believe that being scared of death is irrational because it will happen, so instead of being scared of it you should realise that if nothing matters that let's you do whatever you want, I mean why be lazy if you can do other things, whatever you want really, and if thats being lazy, that's ok for you I guess, but being afraid of death is not what you should focus on
I don’t fear death but only how I will pass😞
I’m not scared of death I’m scared that ill lose my family and friends forever and never see them ever again
Needed this as a young man
I've been so so so scared the for longest time now. Almost every night I panic so much because of the dread I feel . I dont want to die. I'm scared. I don't want to not exist this is scaring me so much ...
I needed something of reassurance.
I got some
do u still feel like this after 7months?
@Kot why to remind him of this video? Why bring these thoughts back to him? He might be in a better place now, think before you act next time please
@@Depressed_until_dead bro please stfu 💀 its literally his problem if he commented. u just making a deal out of nothing
Late night existential dread woooooo
This man talks at such a LETHARGIC pace that i just can't... if these were new ideas maybe i could tolerate it, but GEEZE.
And the melancholy music.
He doesn't even explain how to cope. It's just him talking about taking your mind off of it. I guess that is one way.
@@tepoztlitlacatl634 "How To Deal With The Thought of Dying: think about something else." LOL!
@@BohemianKitsch when I chopped my arm off and was bleeding to death I didn't think about it and was healed.
Me being a 13 year old watching this and being like bru
5:33 What i needed to hear
There is another choice, acknowledge death and choose Nothingness or eternal life, the later will be the true goal to strive for.
🤔. Coming to grips with my demize and death from cancer
I really needed this
Im a child y tf do i think about this
Do not fear death there is hope
I agree this channels is so good. thx for sharing your content!
I have little fear about dying, I believe there is something better after our earth experience. I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior died for ALL of our sins, He is risen and lives today. He loves each and everyone of us and knows what is in our heart. I look forward to seeing him and ALL my friends and relatives who have gone before me. Thank you for dying for my sins and loving me and always providing me my every need. 💜🕊
Why fear something that can only exist when I don’t
None of this is truly significant really. The universe doesn't care in the slightest about us, or what we do to find "purpose". There's more out there, than down here. If you ask me, it's not worth it.
Nothing is significant at all. Even the universe itself is not significant. The multiverse is not significant. What makes watching a movie with your family any less significant than the multiverse when technically nothing has significance?
What will be like to go to sleep and never wake up.wow .
Well you work up to be born, so you never know. 👍
its not that it wont matter in the end. it's that there's too much to do for it to be accompliahed in this one fucking life
me: trying to channel my feelings and have a sad moment
the video: uses a clip of east high aka the high school musical school
3 people don't want to die.
I like the thoughts :D
Hey where's the other guy? Anyways thanks for your view... I think I was about 9 when I became woke, when I started asking myself the big questions and coming up with the answers only to fing out that my answers were correct
I get confused. Because this I know. Ghosts exhist. Its totally confusing. I know ghosts exhist. Facts. So it's hard to believe that it all ends at death as I know for facts there are unseen forces... Also hard to believe you exhist at all when u die... It's like wtf
Allan watts speaks about. Dying and Death. A lot.life is one big dream a play.a great illusion.Maya.🏯💒😁
If we cease to exist after death, then the experience of an organism born, (somewhere in the universe) after you've ceased to exist, will be the experience that comes after you're gone. You'll no longer be around anymore to stop that from being the case.
I almost look forward to my death. But I got to see where my boring life goes and get a "high score".
I look forward to death by sleep
Sadly this entire video had no mention of Ernest Becker's work "the Denial of Death" or "Escape from Evil". Quite pathetic.
Inferiority and insignificance-
Only you can feel that. It’s a choice.
Or you can believe in God!
How does that help? All gods that are worshipped today, were invented by people that know far less about the universe than we do. If there is a god, it clearly doesn’t give a single damn about human suffering.
@@katelynnehansen8115 it has to do with belief and hope. When you’re worshiping a god, you worry less about things like death
@@asmrslol848 do you? Do you have proof that they worry less about death? Because I’ve heard from many former and current Christians, that the fear of possibly not being good enough and ending up in hell, is a source of serious anxiety for them.
@@asmrslol848 further, no matter how much you want something to be true, doesn’t make it so. Where is the evidence that any religion is likely to be true?
This might be the last video i watch. Thank you
