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

　　對死亡的恐懼是普遍的,我擔(dān)心死亡是壓倒性的,沒有我的思想不是一個時刻傳遞。我從未與任何其他提起,只是因為沒有人會意識到這個問題的嚴重性。我知道得很清楚,只要有生命,就會有死亡。此外,盡管我還是遠離死亡,我多年來一直困擾著它的想法。幸運的是,我對死亡的恐懼根源于對生命的過分熱愛。我太膽小,想到生命的終結(jié),當(dāng)一切塵世的事務(wù)都要拋棄。我怎么能丟下友誼、情感、和快樂的活著?我真的很討厭離開所有這些背后。為了緩解我的擔(dān)心死亡,我應(yīng)該充分利用這種生活我現(xiàn)在擁有。全神貫注于這一生至少使我暫時忘卻了死亡。事實上,我真的不需要太多擔(dān)心死亡,因為我已經(jīng)有太多擔(dān)心這種生活
