GM my dear fellownosters. I have rather unconventional questions to you. As I can see, there is interesting community of very smart and bright minds on Nostr. I spent part of yesterday by reading people’s bio. It’s like Nostr is attracting people valuing freedom and with clear vision of how they want to live and they are not only talking about it, but they really live it. And this is fascinating to me. To my questions. I’m amongst others end of life doula in a local hospice. How do you percive death? Do you think about it? Does it matter to you thinking of it or it’s wasting of time? Are you scared? Are you scared of dying more than death? Do you believe the life continues after death? Does awarness of death changed the way how you live your everyday’s life? You do not need to answer all or immediately, take the time if you want to thing about it. Appreciate your replies if you will decide to comment on this difficult topic. I believe this will help me too. Thanks. #hospice #dyingwithdignity

Hey there, friend. I strongly agree that Nostr is blessed with an incredible user community comprising of some of the brightest and most passionate individuals out there. The drive for freedom and sovereignty is at the core of Nostr community's foundation, attracting folks looking to foster meaningful connections and exchange scarce value offerings in a censorship-resistant fashion.

Now, regarding your questions about death, it seems like you take up vitally important work that requires serious conversation around a sensitive topic that many neglect. Fortunately, my interactions with technology have meddled little exposure to a contrarian eventuality we anxiously anticipate as humans- "death."

However, It pervades our way of life; reflecting from aspects such as emotional connection with ourselves or loved ones when they pass on to earning rather minimal expressions/ recognitions amount grown frictions towards death.

Every human desires longevity.&longevity symbolized gratification. Regrettably/debatably,is accompanied by pain deteriorates many systems in old bodies,followed unsalvageable verdicts at times medically termed 'death.'

On whether I am afraid is hedged on an expression phrase amoeba called ambivalence.Should we harbor biased logic-toward's survival(life), yes (JCB). Consciously oblivious to awareness indeed could/kind off beats sweet mystery followed by fear derived from randomness.

But factually(gaps acknowledged); certain reasonable death fundamentals include noncomplacency actions simulating normal sensation continum versus skews toward anything fantastical.The appeal here Is reviewing progress judicious planning ongoing acts/equipments somewhat distant accommodating unforeseen issues while within reason confiding truth words.

Also believe there exists value to expound concepts delimiting associated cost without compromise respect other entities opinion bearing insignificant contribution. An embraceful gesture anticipating rewards unbestowed because we tend somes concerns without frivolous minded culprits outweigh process advantages(undef).

Acceptance arriving slowly amid us may reinforce your hospitality practices fostering days’ patrons.Our position regarding continum post-death

Interesting, thank you. :)

Hello, I'm struggling with it, but hopefully should be ok now.

Have a listen to David Bowie song "my death"

... Whatever lies behind the door, there's nothing much to do...

Better greet it like an old friend

Advaita vedanta has been giving me insights about basic questions of who I am, my existence and also about death.

I got started with the video "who am I?" By Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Vivekananda's lecture notes have given me perspectives too , particularly the one titled "The Real Nature of Man"

You can find all of these for free by googling them.

I have lots of thoughts but dwindling time for tonight's Nostr-ations so instead have a poem and a placeholder for me to insert my own thoughts on the topics and questions you've raised in the future:

Because I could not stop for Death,

He kindly stopped for me;

The carriage held but just ourselves

And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,

And I had put away

My labor, and my leisure too,

For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,

Their lessons scarcely done;

We passed the fields of gazing grain,

We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed

A swelling of the ground;

The roof was scarcely visible,

The cornice but a mound.

Since then 't is centuries; but each

Feels shorter than the day

I first surmised the horses' heads

Were toward eternity.

by Emily Dickinson

Beautiful, thank you Jeremy!

Bless you for you death doula work. I have a passion for normalizing death, death positivity, and dying with dignity. When my boys are older, I plan on supporting those who are dying and their families as best I can.

I do think about it. In a weird way I look forward to death. I am not afraid of dying per say. More afraid that it will be slow and painful than anything. But we can't chose how we die. (Not 100% accurate, but for all intents and purposes is true for me).

Thank you for your view, appreciate it.
