Processing our mortality

[surreptitious57]

I approach the question of death from a purely practical perspective namely that it is inevitable so worrying about it is just a waste of mental energy. I see no objective meaning to existence
at all but this is for me a neutral position rather than a negative one because it allows me to give subjective meaning to my own existence if I so choose. The problem with applying meaning
in any objective sense is that it begs the question by assuming such a thing exists. The randomness which allowed life to develop is evidence that it does not. I accept this unconditionally so
I do not think we are in any way special. We are just biological organisms with a finite life span just the same as any other. Death is merely the consequence of that. Furthermore everything
eventually dies. Planets. Stars. Galaxies. It is therefore no big deal and should not be treated as something that is for it is simply a transition from one state to another. We only think it a big
deal because we are afraid of it. But like with any irrational fear once it is rationalised the fear no longer exists. The dead never worry about being dead any way. And nor should anyone else
