    Default Is it normal that I don't believe I can actually die?

    Hmm, seeing people talk about how they want to be buried, how they commit suicides, or not care about the future - they seem to be well-aware of a death that will happen

    For me, I don't have that feeling. I know that I have to beware on the street because I can break my hand, or lose a leg, and become permanently disabled - and I know that death is the natural fate of every human - but I cannot imagine this happening to me. Also, I know that I'll eventually get older, that my face will look different, my beard will go grey, etc. But, I'm not feeling like "enjoy life while you have it", but more like "enjoy your blonde hair before it gets white".

    Also, I cannot imagine myself getting weary to old age. I'm aware I'll get grey hair, and I'll get a wrinkle here and there - but I cannot imagine losing my abilities to old age. When I start having backaches, it means I should do more physical activity, and it will go.

    Is that normal? Some sort of human weakness that I don't think of it until the time comes? Or, it's not normal?

    Anyone under the age of 36 probably finds it hard imagine being 'not young' or mortal. It's a matter of perspective. Don't worry, time will go a lot faster than you think.

    And how are you?

    Plus, I actually do feel 'not young'.

    If you're being philosophical, I think it's perfectly reasonable to believe in an immortal soul.
