Life & Death – How To Deal With The Thought Of Dying

Pursuit of Wonder | April 9, 2026



If you are reading this, you are alive. If you are alive, you will die. Those two things are certain. What you do with the time in between is not. Work towards your goals and dreams, not just to accomplish wealth, fame, or power, but to feel engaged and apart of the life you have for the short time you still have it. Because what else is there to do?

    This video has consistently helped inspire and devote myself to reaching my goals, better than anything the internet has provided me over my life time. Time and time again I return.

    I have little fear about dying, I believe there is something better after our earth experience. I believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior died for ALL of our sins, He is risen and lives today. He loves each and everyone of us and knows what is in our heart. I look forward to seeing him and ALL my friends and relatives who have gone before me. Thank you for dying for my sins and loving me and always providing me my every need. 💜🕊

    i sometimes have breakdowns and just say to myself that i’m gonna die one day and it is going to happen, it happens to everyone and it’s gonna happen to me. It honestly terrifies me to think that it’s just sleep but also nothing no heartbeat. I love sleep but the thought of never waking up again is just terrifying. I’ve been having these thoughts since i was around 7 and i’m not 14 and still think abt it

    You know what's more terrifying than death
    Its knowing you are in the process of dying conciousness is a double edge swoard .
    For the healthy youngster out the don't lose the best years of your life worrying about what might happen concentrat on enjoying . Appreciating those around you and develope yoursellf and if you are studying dont stress too much about it either try to enjoy it but you . Your family and friends should come first .

    It's hard for me to grasp the concept that one day I'll be nothing, I'll feel nothing, I'll see nothing and I won't be able to be happy, that will be the end of my story and no continuation. It's scary…

    I’ve always found it interesting that many people conflate the words meaning and purpose. Someone can experience meaning during their lifetime and yet still, there is no purpose to their life in the end. In order to have purpose, it would have to be bestowed upon us & that would require a higher entity or intelligence. For instance, maybe an alien advanced civilization was responsible for our existence on Earth, but their purpose is to harvest us at some point in a future time, not for food, but perhaps for our biological intellect that they could then utilise for the reasons unbeknown to us. Of course, the majority of people in the world have found religion because it promises survival of death. Truthfully, I’m envious of those people because I think the idea is so self-centered, absurd & so far from the reality we experience everyday of our lives. Add that the second law of thermodynamics, the principle of Occams razor, and we can understand that ceasing to exist is the only logical answer. Finally, I would think if there was a God and a purpose to our existence here on Earth, it would certainly be considered absolutely cruel to not let us in on its apparent secret. And I don’t believe the secret is in the Bible or Quran authored by men, not God(s)

    These thoughts are kinda disturbing for me as this discouraged me to do nothing, sitting at a corner.
    But what else we can do about it. All we can do to enjoy, achieve, and see the beauty of our surroundings
    Thanks for this video, I hope I'll overcome this thought:).
    "We take birth and die thats the beauty of our lives." – 🙂
    Enjoy our day guys, don't waste it👍

    I've been so so so scared the for longest time now. Almost every night I panic so much because of the dread I feel . I dont want to die. I'm scared. I don't want to not exist this is scaring me so much …
