You’ve been through a lot recently but these are really important questions to ask, for everyone, not just you, so thank you for asking them in public.
I’ve asked myself many of the same things but it’s always good to put things back into perspective and remember the obvious truths that we tend not to think about every single day
You're right, I just had this short conversation with my mom too, she didn't think about all that when she was young.I guess, it's one of those question that is important but slips through our mind and we didn't think about everyday. From all that experience, I certainly wanted to be a better version of myself and living life a lot more responsibly.
I think it scares a lot of people so they put it off. Also they don’t think they can get a handle on their fears relating to death (not only death itself but also failure and loss). Facing those fears gives you super powers though!
