Prompt: Why should I fear death?

“Why should I fear death?

If I am, then death is not.

If Death is, then I am not.

Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?”

Epicurus

A beautiful philosophical exercise in logic and mortality.

Why should we fear the things we don’t control?

Does fearing them give us more, or less control over them?

What is a life, if it’s lived in constant fear?

Today’s prompt:

What are you afraid of that you can’t control? Why should you fear it?

Happy journaling.
