Conscious thought, experience, and the inevitable.
#2
RE: Conscious thought, experience, and the inevitable.
You're not alone. I've had a fear of death since I was 7, and even now I awake in cold sweats.

Its not as bad anymore now I am in my thirties, but I used to wake up wanting to cry when I was younger.

Life is falling off a cliff, a sudden rush of emotions and a hard rocky oblivion hurtling at full speed. Its only natural to focus on the ground rushing towards you.

I bet you feel better now! lol.

But the point is, what could be more exhilarating than the fall. The alternative was oblivion or fall. So take the jump, the fall, admire the sun, and ocean as you fall. You will always glance at the rushing ground, but its ugly, and cold. Each time you do so, you are wasting the moments of this incredible moment in the history of the universe. You.

Sorry, I came over poetic for a moment. I shall get my militant abuse gloves back on in a moment.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
