While fear of death is universal, my worry about death is so overwhelming that there is not a moment passing without my thinking of it. I never bring this up with any other, just because no one will ever realize the seriousness of this problem. I know it very clearly that as long as there is life, there will be death. In addition, though I am still so far away from death, I have been plagued by the thought of it for years. Fortunately, the root of my fear of death lies in my overzealous love for life. I am too timid to think of the end of life, when every worldly affair should be thrown away. How can I carry on without friendship, affection, and joy of being alive? I really hate to leave all these behind. To ease my worry about death, I should make the fullest use of this life I now possess. Concentration on this life can at least temporally make me forget about death. As a matter of fact, I really dont need to worry so much about death, for I already have too much to worry about this life

对死亡的恐惧是普遍的,我担心死亡是压倒性的,没有我的思想不是一个时刻传递。我从未与任何其他提起,只是因为没有人会意识到这个问题的严重性。我知道得很清楚,只要有生命,就会有死亡。此外,尽管我还是远离死亡,我多年来一直困扰着它的想法。幸运的是,我对死亡的恐惧根源于对生命的过分热爱。我太胆小,想到生命的终结,当一切尘世的事务都要抛弃。我怎么能丢下友谊、情感、和快乐的活着?我真的很讨厌离开所有这些背后。为了缓解我的担心死亡,我应该充分利用这种生活我现在拥有。全神贯注于这一生至少使我暂时忘却了死亡。事实上,我真的不需要太多担心死亡,因为我已经有太多担心这种生活
