Religion: The Fine Print of Death
2 passages marked
Its the ‘unknowing’ of death that is most disturbing, the fact that none of us really know what happens when we or animals die. Which is why we fear death so much and why it causes so much distress to us, which is quite ironic though. Because if there is One thing that we are absolutely sure of in life, its death. And we have our entire lives (if we are lucky), to prepare for death.
They say that it is not the knowledge that the “party will be over someday” that makes us uncomfortable about death, but the knowledge that “the party will continue without me”. This is Ego.
