We will die one day, no matter what happens we've the choice to choose love over fear. We've the choice to live our life in fear, or we've the choice to live our life without fear. I do not fear death, I do not fear the pain of dying. To fear pain that hasn't come yet is stupid. When death comes it will come and no one or anything can stop it from happening. Suffering and the pain of life is inevitable. But we do have the choice to live with the anxiety of losing everything. To lose a family member or to lose a loved one is painful. But in time you will see that you will die like them. And you will begin to know and not believe that all things come to pass. Learn to be fearless, live life free of anxiety. Hard times will come I know, but the glory of living in the moment outweighs the future momentary pain.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jeremy Limn" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jeremy-limn/i-see-no-sense-in-fearing-anything-we-will-die-one-day-no-matter-what/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a73/jeremy-limn-301_choose-love_i-see-no-sense-in-fearing-anything-we-wi_3027166.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a73/jeremy-limn-301_choose-love_i-see-no-sense-in-fearing-anything-we-wi_3027166.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/a73/jeremy-limn-301_choose-love_i-see-no-sense-in-fearing-anything-we-wi_3027166.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I see no sense in fearing anything.

How reassuring it would be for people if they knew that when they lay dying they would be cared for with loving insight! As it is, our culture is so heartless in its expediency and its denial of any real spiritual value that people, when faced with terminal illness, feel terrified that they are simply going to be thrown away like useless goods. In Tibet it was a natural response to pray for the dying and to give them spiritual care; in the West the only spiritual attention that the majority pay to the dying is to go to their funeral. At the moment of their greatest vulnerability, then, people in our world are abandoned and left almost totally without support or insight. This is a tragic and humiliating state of affairs, which must change. All of the modern world’s pretensions to power and success will ring hollow until everyone can die in this culture with some measure of true peace, and until at least some effort is made to ensure this is possible.
