Car Accident? Disease? Jelly and Ice Cream?
from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna
March: On DeathMarch 4Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett.From the moment you are born . . . no, no, even before that. From the moment you are conceived, and perhaps contrary to what you’d like the truth to be, you are on your way to meeting Death.And we all have different ideas about how we'd like to go. Most of us are hoping to go quietly and in our sleep, surrounded by loved ones.But, if I could be frank, this is a waste of your time and energy. You're better off accepting that Death will show up whenever and wherever he will and using your valuable time and energy, instead, to live.Reflection title: Car Accident? Disease? Jelly and Ice Cream?Creative inspiration: Terry Pratchett, Carpe JugulumReflection Question: Do I have unrealistic expectations or hopes when it comes to my own death? Am I wasting too much time and energy thinking about this?
