Mortality
From time to time, I am confronted with my own mortality. Like most people, I believe that I have a long and healthy life ahead of me. I would never expect to die anytime before 80. Of course, this is nonsense because I don't know what the future holds for me. What I do know is this:
I fear dying more than I fear death.
I look around the world and see suffering and pain as death comes near, and it brings scores of questions to my mind. But mainly it makes me think about sin... And the reality that our reality here on earth is defined by sin and death.
I read the last chapter in the book, and I know there's more after death. And I suppose that's the only way you can have hope in life.
