Fearful of death

It is a taboo to talk about death. Nobody wants to know about death or your fear of death. It is a normal instinct and nobody in the right mind would like talking about such subject. But, it is real and yet we do not want to face it or talk about it. I am now reading a book about death. The writer was a very famous professor and politician and he write about his last days in this world. He was a cancer patient like the writer of the book " chasing daylight". Both are prominent man and they list out their wishes and thoughts during this twilight years of theirs. Why people only talk about their death in their dying days ? Are they become more fearless when facing death ? We will die faster if we were to talk about death ? or should we get depressed ? Yeah , people are only interest in life and not the end. Well, they are right. But, talking about death will bring us more life, more awareness and making us live the present moment. Yes, we can behave like an ostrich hiding our head in the sand and stick out our backend and let others kick it. It is so ironical. Everyday, there is death in this world and new life also came into this world. When there is death, there is death. Nobody can avoid it. But, why we are so fearless when facing death? Why cann't we be more fearless when we are alive ? To be fearful , does it make our life longer ? Yeah, being thrifty can make us rich , but be fearful and behave cowardly , does it prolong our life. There is no logic and substance in this thought but it is only a comforting thought. So, fellas, live fearlessly and live in the present moment. Namaste.
