I am not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of not living to the fullest before I die.
When someone says they're afraid of dying, are they really? Or are they actually afraid of not fulfilling their dreams? Are they afraid they shall never have a family? A career? A love? Are they afraid of missing out of the future? Are they afraid of not seeing themselves grow old?
I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my dreams of having a family, being an pediatric oncologist, of saving lives so people won't be afraid of living to the fullest.
I believe death puts life into a new perspective. People look at life differently when their life is threatened. They have so many things to do before they die, that they're afraid of dying before they get to do these things.
Every day should be an adventure; you should go out of your way to learn something new (maybe even pointless), make someone's day better, or just do something crazy (but smart). Tomorrow could be the last, but when you look towards it, are you scared? Are you scared that you won't see it? Or are you scared because you haven't gone skydiving, or bungee jumping, or something else?
I am not afraid of dying. I'm afraid that while I'm living, people will forget me.
I am not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of living in a world where people kill.
