But I had nothing to fear.

You are spot on, like the fear of flying is really a fear of crashing, in the knowledge our death is imminent as we plummet to earth. Not nice! Just as with death it is it's manner and timing we dread rather than the departure itself. So anything precious to us in our thoughts and minds whilst alive are just that. Precious and eventually finite.Oldrightiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192587284458430556noreply@blogger.com
