RE: My hypothesis about death, life and what we should do.
This was a great response! In particular I like the saying about "walking around the snake." I do think this is a great metaphor in that it shows the relationship between ourselves and death in the sense of who holds the power...both do.
Like you said, there is no denying our mortality. The only way to ever of gotten around that was to not be alive in the first place. I also like your statements around not having the 'worry' consume you, even though it can be on the radar.
It is a tough concept for people to think about, either due to the fear of themselves dying and/or the possibility of pain (which you explained very well) as well as the pain of losing those you care about. All of these scenarios are scary to confront as well as the end point of accepting the limitations of what is out of our control (even though we can keep odds in our favor for a period of time.)
In the end, it's all a series of dice rolls...so just enjoy the game. :P
Thank you for your positive response, i must honestly say i was inspired by your post.
But i think that is the point here on Steemit, to read each other posts and then to react on it.
That would create a more interactive platform, who can learn from each other and support each other.
In the gnostic they say, if you want to discover life, then you need to understand first what death is.
Death could be a state of mind or the end of your life, that is basically there message.
Cheerse.
