I’d like us to have a conversation about a particular topic that we dread to discuss.

This post may not get as many comments as all other posts would but that’s okay, as long as you read it and it causes you to think about the next step you’re going to take.

Having conversations with people we love about dying and death is difficult. It brings up many uncomfortable emotions so we tend to shy away from it.

Talking about death doesn’t mean you’re dying soon, it just means you understand mortality

and the significance of it: No one is here forever.

Can we let that thought sink in for a bit?

No one is here forever.

Do you understand now? The awareness of our mortality may be uncomfortable and painful but it is a rude awakening we must all have.

I’m not asking you to accept with glee, the possibility of your loved ones dying. I’m saying, let the possibility of you or your loved ones dying, be a motivation to live a purposeful life.

If talking about death is making you lose some of your aliveness,

like there’s no point to it all, try to remember, that reaction is wrong. The present loses nothing by the realisation that it will come to an end. We’re indeed going to die someday (hopefully at old age) but that makes us the lucky ones.

We’re here now, the Grace to experience life is never quantifiable.

Now, let’s ask ourselves: how do I live a good life to the very end, as much as I can help it?

-How do I love easily and forgive quicker?

No matter how long one lives, it can never be long enough.

So, please think about what makes you happiest and do that, bearing this fact in mind: We’re not here forever.

Can you tell me why you don’t like discuss death?
