MAIN REASON WHY PEOPLE FEAR DEATH
INTRODUCTION:
Teach the children the main reason why people fear death.
GOALS:
To make the children understand we wear glasses of greed and fear.
CLICK OF THE TOPIC:
Live Totally.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
The main reason why people fear death is, they have not lived their lives totally. The are afraid because they feel desperate that they have not lived life enough. They feel this way because throughout their lives they have lived in memories of the past, in the anxieties of the future, for the sake of others, never in the present. Every action of ours has been due to the pull and push of each others' ego, each others' desires each others' emotions etc.
Try to live with more clarity, that's all. Make the other people see sense in whatever they try to impose upon you. With clarity, you will be able to identity what your own desires are, with others have imposed on you and what desires you have borrowed from others. The first set of desires alone need to be fulfilled without any harm to any person or property. The other two need to be dropped with the help of clarity.
If you live this way, you won't be fulfilling others' desires and you won't living others' lives. You will live your own life, experience fulfillment and you will be ready to die when the time comes.
