Greetings to regular and new readers! Friends, man, life and death – these concepts are inextricably linked with each other. Each of us realizes that sooner or later he will die. People experience grief over the death of loved ones, often blaming themselves for this.
Death is present in our lives, no matter how strange and crazy it may sound. And it manifests itself in several stages. What if thoughts about it become too intrusive?
Thoughts about death at different stages of life
The first stage
When death appears in a person’s life – his birth. This thought is unconscious, and almost no one remembers it, but the logic remains: since there is birth, then there is also death.
The second stage
A moment of cognition of the surrounding world. At the age of three to six years, children begin to notice how and from what insects, plants, animals, people die. They try to learn more about it from adults as well.
Children often equate sleep or punishment with death, which is why they do not want to go to sleep.
The third stage
The most acute and difficult period by its nature is adolescence.
At this time, when hormones are raging in a young human body, when you want to try something new, forbidden. When there is a great desire to go against everything. And most of the principles and laws of the surrounding world are simply denied – thoughts about death are simply inevitable.
It’s also good if the teenager just thinks about it philosophically. Why do people die, why it is impossible to live forever, is there life after death. All this can be taken simply for interest. It is worthwhile to be wary if a teenager began to think about suicide.
Russia, by the way, is in the top three in adolescent suicide. This is the most dangerous period when a person’s personality is being formed. All thoughts of suicide should be immediately replaced with positive ones.
To do this, you can talk openly about death, find out the reasons for such suicidal tendencies. In some cases, especially severe ones, you will need the help of an experienced psychologist.
The fourth stage
Menopause, age after 50 in men. At this time, people often feel nostalgic, yearn for the past, and regress spiritually. Men, losing their sexual potential, think that their life is over with it.
At this time, it is important to accept the past, to let it go. Understand that you have achieved everything you wanted, or are close to it, find the pluses of your whole life. Accept yourself as you are now.
The last, fifth stage
Old age. During this period, a person already clearly feels the breath of an old woman with a scythe in his back. He understands that he will soon die and constantly thinks about it.
If you have a loving, large, close-knit family, why oppress yourself with thoughts of imminent departure? If your life was interesting, and all your dreams have come true, why think about an early departure?
The world will remain after you, and you left your mark on it. And no one can erase it. But even in death there is something good to be found. For example, you will finally know if there is an afterlife. Of course, this is a joke, and it is better to rid yourself of thoughts about the finale of life.
You can get distracted by a hobby or take time for your family, and this is also the most suitable time for the fulfillment of desires. After all, the youth of the soul does not die!
