The Tale of a Human Unable to Live

There is a complex issue that touches on psychology, philosophy and sociology, the aversion to the inevitability of death. It is not just a matter of rational understanding, but a deeply rooted phenomenon in human nature.
The main arguments that explain the aversion to death can be given:

The instinct for self-preservation: This is a fundamental biological impulse aimed at survival. It makes us avoid danger and fight for life, making the very thought of death unbearable. At a subconscious level, we resist the idea of ​​ceasing to exist.

Fear of the unknown: Death is a transition into the unknown. Not knowing what happens after death gives rise to fear and anxiety. Religious and philosophical systems try to provide answers to this question, but there is no definitive answer.

Attachment and social connections: We are connected to other people - family, friends, community. The thought of leaving them causes pain and despair. This attachment makes death even more undesirable.

Cultural factors: Our cultures often avoid talking openly about death. This is a taboo topic, which only increases fear and rejection. We tend to idealize life and deny the reality of death.

Egocentrism: Our upbringing often emphasizes the individuality and uniqueness of the “I”. Death seems to be a threat to this “I”, the destruction of our identity and everything we have achieved. What I would like to sum up is that the rejection of death is a natural, although sometimes destructive, human reaction. It is not necessarily a sign of weakness, but rather evidence of the depth of our connection with life and the world around us. However, excessive avoidance of the thought of death can hinder a full life and making important decisions.
It always ends in one outcome, regardless of the circumstances in which a person dies. Long or fast, painfully or painlessly, the only shame is that death takes away those who have suffered the most from life earlier, and did not have time to live a good share of their existence.
