All organic beings die in this world, it\u2019s inevitable. Life cannot exist without death and death cannot exist without life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes when we are too stuck with our thoughts, we tend to analyze a lot about who we are. If we are negative or positive it doesn\u2019t really matter. Once we realize we will die one day, it gets the best of us. This is intense when you already lived for ~30 years on this earth and feel like you haven t accomplished much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A way of accepting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zazen<\/a> is helpful to introspect what Is the meaning of life and death. I have read some books about zazen meditation which taught me something important one was written by Taisen Deshimaru and it’s called The Zen Way To Martial Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By doing Zazen meditation our minds can develop further understanding of what life means, what death means, accepting death as it is and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zazen meditation also gives you super-powers if it\u2019s done for long enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside to it is that it requires a lot of patience, some knowledge, a pose you might not be comfortable with, a room in which you can meditate without noises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another downside point is that our thoughts intervene with the meditation session. Most of the people give up when their thoughts invade their minds not being able to concentrate on the session anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the journey not the destination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most of us humans hide behind a mask all their lives only to uncover our masks at the end of the life, being taken completely by surprise and we are not ready at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing you are going to die today, tomorrow, in 1 week will make you value your life more and enjoy the journey instead of a destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meditate daily only by yourself. Lock yourself up in a room with no sounds and just sit there and try not to think or disturb your meditation in any way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try your best to not have regrets or have little regrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe that this world was not created just by pure coincidence, but something created us. Create your own form of belief of what created us to make your life seem meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being an atheist is fine for starters as crossing from believing in a false entity that others created for you to something that has the meaning as a belief into a creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t mean some beliefs aren\u2019t true, if you truly find ancient information, but beware of false information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
