Default If That's All There Is My Friend

]Do you think life is too short? Relative to what? I have a sibling that really gets depressed just thinking about the issue of dying. He can't bring himself to the reality that this earthly existence will go on without him.

I on the other hand had long ago come to terms with my mortality. Death is never going to be fair. Death under any circumstance will always be sudden and unexpected even with those on their death beds expecting to die. It will always be said that the good die young. It will always be said that s/he died too young. Death will always be tragic. People will always say nice things about you when you die. Life and death are two sides of the same coin. And as long as there are people still alive that knew you then you will remain alive.

I had long ago when accepting my mortality stopped agonizing myself about the existence of the hereafter. I'll just hope for the best because up to now I have had a decent run and that is all that we can expect. And if that all there is then that's all there is my friend
