I have a unique understanding of death from a long time ago, I can feel very clearly how close death is to us, and I am more afraid of it than the people around me.
I have never imagined what will happen after my death, such as organ donation, cremation, etc. I am more concerned with the way I die and how painful it will be when I die, so I don't have many philosophical thoughts about 'death' and extended thinking.
The reason I feel this way is probably because there are too many people around me who are sick or dying, and there is a demographic collapse in our society nowadays, with more and more elderly people appearing and fewer and fewer newborns. The rapidly evolving society is washing away one group of people after another, Updates in medical equipment, updates in the medical system, updates in medications, updates in diseases, updates that we hear about all the time when we are very young, but they don't seem to stop the people around us from passing away.
I don't care what happens to my body after I die, and I don't care about organ donations. My vision for the future is simple: at each person's deathbed, they will be able to see the person they want to see, say what they want to say, and leave no regrets.
I agree that I dont really care about what happens to me after I die since I wont be there to have an opinion. I bet theres a lot of people who have the same opinion on death care. I think education on the topic is very important because a lot of people will likely prefer the most sustainable method.
Hi Robert,
Death is a scary topic. Everyone should feel comfortable discussing death and death care options, which does require vulnerability.
No one can be unafraid of death. In this busy world, people always have various reasons to prevent meeting with each other. For example, sombody says that he has to work overtime today or he will be fired. Except this example, there are many other instances. So, valuing the present moment is the most important thing we should do.
