    During my time in the military.....I would get this fear of impending doom feeling on occasion. I believe it's a form of anxiety. Most of my coworkers claimed they suffered from it too. It still hits me from time to time but I don't stress out about it so much anymore...I guess I've accepted the fact that when it's my time to go...then ready or not....it's time to go!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'd still say I consider death on a daily basis! At some point during most days - seemingly typically in the early morning - I'll get some sort of pang about death

    If only I could live by Mark Twain's words:- "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."
