I cannot just do what pleases me. It just is not an option, shit never goes that way. I'll use cannabis and opiates to get me through. The best I can do now is shit in my eye. Others make out that I shit gold, don't know what's up with that really but I'm kinda leaning on them now.

Raven, it was really good to read all of your views and experiences.
My mum used to work in a hospice as well and I have so much respect for people who do so.
Being constantly confronted with your own mortality through the death of others has transformed my mum as much as I can tell it has you.
I think moving from death denial to death anxiety in whatever form is already a huge step in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you're doing, it is important in western societies where death is often ignored.

Also, a question for Raven:

My mum used to find that a lot of Christian hospice patients had the hardest time letting go in the face of death. Many of them were terribly afraid (convinced) they wouldn't make it into heaven!

Is this a demographical thing because the Netherlands has many protestant churches that preach hell and damnation or is it a general Christian thing?

A general fundamentalist christian thing and I've seen some of that myself.  That religion is notorious for using fear to control  people. :sad:

Terrible.

It is the exact opposite of what a religion is meant to do in my opinion.

It should set people free and give them peace of mind with a promise of a hereafter, not terrify them to the point of obsession in the last bit of life they have left to live.
In my opnionon this should be a time in which they can show strength and find closure with their relatives and friends.
This strength can also mean showing sadness or even fear I think.

But just obsessively stressing out in the end of your life because you believe you will be burning eternal in hell I do not wish upon anyone.

I wish that kind of thing on those that consciously use it to control others. 

I'm pretty sick of human evil, it's way too prevalent for my taste.

Thanks for the kind words, it's really been a heart callousing then expanding and humbling process. :sun:


I imagine it has a lot to do with how Christianity teaches one to be ashamed of themselves and much of their nature, let alone all their mistakes. The concept of original sin teaches us we were born filthy, unworthy sinners.

If I had been successfully indoctrinated with those ideals as a child, I'd be far more afraid of death for certain...

I'm of the belief born of experience that teaching people that their darkness is bad prevents them (and the cultural collective to which they belong) from really shedding light on it and can exacerbate the issues instead of making them conscious.
