Have you ever practiced meditation before?
When one questions the reality of death, everything else seems insignificant.
Even though you feel like your never going to die, the reaper says otherwise. The only thing that we are "destined to do" is to die.
Because I don't know what comes after death, I try to live my best now. If I knew what came after, I may not live as hard as I did without that knowledge. Going through life thinking that I'd never die would be the worst lie to tell myself, because it would cause fear of something I shouldn't be afraid of. Fear is a host of so many of my own problems, don't need to add another on top
