People Die All Year Long

Regardless of health, fame and fortune, death is quite equally common, year round, the world over. Quite natural.

BTW 10 German tourists died in Turkey from IS suicide bombing. 2 days ago.

Life is strange. It's weird that we don't ask to exist (that we can recall at least) yet here we are. And everything we see around us is considered life. Why though? That's the biggest question, and the answer is impossible to find. I just think is so weird to be alive, to exist. We just grow up, climb inside the machine, become a slave to money or as a entertainer to socity, then we just die. Poof. Why is that life? Why are we forced to feel pain and fear things? What has this control over our short and bittersweet lives? We are forced to fear ourselves, our mortality, and our decisions. Its so strange to be alive. All these things with questions to their reasons but not a damn answer to be found.

Yes but death is not something we accept easily

Naturally, some can accept death while others find it more difficult to accept.

What are some of the underlying reasons why one finds death difficult to accept?
For some people, I think fear is at the heart of it.

1) Fear of loss.
2) Fear of the unknown.

Then again, in opposite extreme, for others, who seemingly act as though they are
not afraid of death, I would think pride and arrogance manifests overconfidence.
In any case, fight or flight mechanism applies here.
And a third group might be "the fool" (why fools do what they do, who knows).
Now, a fourth group may be identified as the faithful (opposite of the proud and foolish,
oftentimes mistaken for fearful and foolish), who entrust their ultimate fate into the
hands of God who perceive death for what it is.

With all that in mind, there seems to be 4 different groups of people who address death
4 different ways.

The proud
The fearful
The foolish
The faithful

For some, death is quick and sudden. For others, painfully long and drawn out.
For others, an ever present foreboding.
Death doesn't discriminate anyone. No one can cheat nor yet, oppose and defy, it. -
It's simply not their time, however perilous, the experience.

Nevertheless, all, to some degree, find death a bit disconcerting.
BUT It's NOT a negative. For many, death is a welcomed experience and
would rejoice at it's coming, that they may find rest and peace.
