It doesn't take strength to accept mortality or death it requires a change in how you see them.(November 13, 2020 at 2:48 pm)Klorophyll Wrote: Oh. And you think you got over the fact that your existence is finite ? The denial of death is a subconscious process and it doesn't help if you are an atheist. We just replaced this subsconscious process by belief in a deity, for good reasons -which are, by the way, equivalent to reasons for believing in any external truth. I am referring to Plantinga's God and other Minds here.
And, before you start prentending to have some mental strength we know from psychology nobody can possibly have, I have another book recommendation for you : read the Denial of death by Ernest Becker, it's a good book.
It's called acceptance of the inevitable.
Can't control it. Can't stop it.
Why invent an imaginary friend to calm you about it?
"Change was inevitable"
