Death

Sooner or later we are going to die, but still we do not know exactly when or how or where are we going after death. The author talking about mortality is very interesting, he explains that plants and animal are not mortal because they do not know they are going to die, we are mortal because we do know we are going to die, I think this is an interesting definition. As the author said "Others have died, all have died, all will die" but have I really think am going to die too? Usually when I think about this I get nervous because I am afraid of death, I know this sounds stupid because as all the others one day I am going to die, but I have a lot of questions about death. Where am I going after death? What will happen to me? those are the main questions I ask to myself when thinking about my own death. Every person in this world is at the "same distance from death" everyone can die anytime no matter their health or age. I wish I could know when death is near so I can live the days before my death at the fullest and not worrying at anything like work, health etc. I do not know why I am afraid of death what I do know is that we will never be able of discover what exactly death is.

  1. It's true Alejandro, everyone sooner or later will face death. The important thing about this is that now that we know, we need to take advantage of it and enjoy our life as much as possible because it wouldn’t last forever. Every moment may be the last so always look at the positive side of things and simply enjoy what we have. Good job Alejandro.

  2. I agree with you, everyone eventually will die no matter what. I think like you that we need to use this knowledge to take the most advantage of life as we can, and enjoy it as much as possible. Like people say enjoy the moments as if they were the last one you are going to live. Also we need to get over with the fear we have to death.

  3. I think too that if we are conscious of our death then we can make something about it. People say that humans are the only mammals that know for sure they are going to die someday, but what about animals? how can we know that they also don't know they are going to die? It's difficult to state things as for sure, but well, I agree with you, we need to enjoy life much more.
