Trauma

Its traumatic to contemplate death, especially your own. We respond with much angst, fear and sorrow when faced with imminent death. Similarly, we mourn and express empathy fueled by these same emotions. However, trauma sufferers all have one thing in common - they are alive.

Death can be frightening to think about but its not scary to die. All there is to dying is loss of consciousness. In fact, its one of the most relaxing and least frightening things to succumb to. With death ends pain, ends trauma, ends fear, ends suffering.

Understanding the above means we should strive to never think about our own death because that only breeds fear and trauma. Instead, we should be comforted by the fact that death ends those emotions.

Before you know it, you're gone. Fact is, you won't know it.
