Another week ends.
Ending, such an inevitable part of our life. This week, I learned about two influential people whose lives ended unexpectedly. Millions more die every day without the spectacle. Death is such an equalizer; I tell people often.
Death is always a difficult topic to talk about. The overwhelming pain of grief and fear that we leave our loved ones and overthinking about who will care for them when we're gone.
Even though we all must face death in our lives, it is perhaps the only (if not one of!) experience that leaves us so uncertain and fearful. The fear of dying can keep us from enjoying our time when we still have it.
#Stoic Epictetus said, “I cannot escape death, but at least I can escape the fear of it.” Accepting that is a natural part of our life makes us value the relationships we make more. It makes us cherish the present and do things to live a worthwhile life. The more you don't worry about it, the more you'll make the most out of what you have.
Ah, I don't want to start your weekend on such a sad note! Just a reflection on the week that went by.
