Embracing our mortality can bring a greater sense of peace and acceptance from "summary" of Life: Why Live if You Have to Die? by David Perry
The idea of embracing our mortality may seem counterintuitive at first. After all, we are conditioned to fear death and avoid any thoughts of our own finitude. However, when we confront the reality of our mortality, something profound happens. We begin to appreciate the preciousness of life and the fleeting nature of our existence. By acknowledging our mortality, we can let go of the trivialities that often consume our thoughts and energy. We can prioritize what truly matters to us and focus on living a more meaningful and fulfilling life. This shift in perspective can bring a greater sense of peace and acceptance, as we come to terms with the inevitable end that awaits us all. Moreover, embracing our mortality can lead to a deeper appreciation of the present moment. When we realize that our time on this earth is limited, we are more inclined to savor each experience and cherish the relationships that enrich our lives. We become more grateful for the beauty that surrounds us and more attuned to the wonders of existence. In a society that often glorifies youth and denies the reality of aging and death, embracing our mortality can be a radical act of self-empowerment. It allows us to reclaim our agency and assert our autonomy in the face of our ultimate destiny. Instead of living in fear of death, we can embrace it as a natural part of the human experience and find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone in our mortality.- By embracing our mortality, we can cultivate a sense of peace and acceptance that transcends our fear of death. We can live more authentically, love more deeply, and appreciate the beauty of life in all its fleeting glory. It is through acknowledging our mortality that we can truly embrace the fullness of our humanity and find a sense of peace that is both profound and liberating.
