The fears that are curbing at our well being.

This post would be something that will totally differ from my usual topics' niche. Why? Because life is also made by unpleasant realities, and fears are a big part of them.

In many years I had many types of fear to deal with: fear of falling from a very high place, fear of a car crash, fear of losing someone dear to me, fear for the future, fear of....oh God so many fears. Then, I realized that all humanity is born in a world filled with fears, and yet humanity has always mastered them, or else we wouldn't even been dwelling in this world. Would we? We need to overcome our fears, or we'll simply succumb to our emotional stresses.

Can we overcome any fear?


I have always dealt with fears with a simple mind's trick, I let them completely engulf my mind and body, while in the same time I told myself, what was the worst thing could ever happened to me, once I let these monsters conquer my mind? I simple told myself, that the worst thing that would ever happened to me was, death!!! Yeah, death. Then, everything would have ended. No more emotions, no more stresses, no more pains, no more fears...no more anythings, just ended right then!!! And no, my response wasn't a suicidal reaction to an unpleasant situation, and either wasn't motivated because I was giving up at life. At the contrary, I was fighting spasmodically to survive, to overpower my fearfulness generated by all the unknowns lurking at every step of my life. Ultimately, I let my fears conquer myself, for me in a later time to defeat them.


I know, it's a twisted way to fight irrational feelings, but to fight something envisaged, or even of real nature, that's was the only way I knew to easy my personal fears. With this little trick in place, I could finally quiet down my emotionalities, my anxieties, my ghosts due to fearing something imaginary, and amazingly... it worked. The other thing resulting from my new state of mind was: once I embraced the idea of dying, I noticed I had found courage, a renewed courage, the courage to accept any adversity that life was ready to throw in my way.

But there was another kind of fear, that I have discovered during these last years, in which I couldn't apply the same old trick. As I'm getting old, a new fear has arose within me, and now it's gripping my soul and ravaging my mind!

A kind of fear to which, I couldn't apply this time a remedy, any kind of remedy wasn't working with this type of fear. An overwhelming feeling of dying to a painfully death! Yes, that's my real fear, and I know, this time I can't conquer it and even less fleeing from it. The fear of suffering by an unimaginable pain, before dying from a terminal illness.


I have already seen the outcomes from a terminal illness and the effects on those who had the misfortune to fall seriously ill. The after results, which are truly totally devastating on those lives, the minutes before their dismissal from life actually happen are: pains, excruciating pains, unimaginable pains. Too much of sufferings, that's what I'm really afraid of. Dying while suffering with a lots pain. I hope, I wish, if anything of this kind ever happens to me, then I would find some charitable hand to shorten my agony, because I know this time any trick wouldn't suffice. I'm sure, I wouldn't be able to deal with this type of fear in any possible ways that I know, I will just completely surrender to it.

It sounds too depressing, of course it is.

And because I don't know the answer for it, anyone that knows a way, a solution, or a trick to beat this kind of fear, please, you are welcomed to enlighten me!

My only answer at the moment is: euthanasia.

Sorry to post such depressing article, but as I said:
Life is also made up by these unpleasant realities.

Euthanasia another moral dilemmas.

What are Catholic perspectives on euthanasia.
I'm catholic, and the Catholic church speaks against "euthanasia as a violation of the sanctity of life".



It's easy to say life is sacred, but when we get personally involved in this human tragedy, or what if the one to suffer in a reversal of role would be the ones who denies a peacefully dismissal from the earthly sufferings to a terminal ill patient, we still be able to say life is sacred!
If we the deniers, are willing to be tortured day by day, and afterward still keep our convictions that life is sacred, than we can decide for a denial to those requests.

The right to a decent life means also, a quality life.

There isn't any quality of life in a terminally ill patient.
Who are we, to denied a terminally ill person, his request for a peacefully dismissals from this world.
The right of a "dignifying death" rather than, a prolonged life of suffering from unbearable chronic pains while, trying to extend his life, through an "aggressive medical treatments" in my humble opinion, it's not a life to live.
In Truth, we are only prolonging his suffering, and I don't see any real compassion in doing that.
I believe no one has the rights to deny someone will to die when, he has no hope to survive his illness.
We'll be guilty as tortures with their victims, while keeping him hooked on support machines in a precarious way of living, that's a sin.
I don't see any civilization in all this, and I firmly believe even God won't accept it.
In the end, I am for proposals to legalize euthanasia for patients who are suffering unbearably with no prospect of improvement.
Of course different organizations should keep a monitoring eye in the process, to prevent abuses of the system if, this will ever happened.

I have read so much about "Euthanasia", to give an opinion on this topic is not that simple.
I'm catholic, and the Catholic church speaks against "euthanasia as a violation of the sanctity of life".

Personally, I got involved in this kind a matters,and to find answers rather than simples worlds, it's very hard and painful.
To decide when, or what action to take when you are in the middle of something of this magnitude, it's mind buckling.
No words are enough, when you have to make a decision regarding some one, you know you love,
someone who's been part of your life for a very long time.

My father was terminally ill, it happened when I was in a period of my life which I was not that young not that old to make decisions.
My father till lasted was suffering of terrible pain, there was nothing to relieve his pains, not even drugs were working anymore!!!
He reached the point of the "appearance and dignity of, a human being" was really gone.
We as, my family and myself couldn't make a decision, and we let him suffer and implore till the end.
Today I will probably done the right thing...end his suffering.
Today if, I was in the same condition my father was ...
I hope, to find a miserable hand, someone who will find the courage to end my misery!
With no chances to heal,with no chances to survive I, don't want to perpetuate my agony,
for a life which will not be ever the same, but just pain, an unimaginable pain.
No thanks, I rather end my life than, hang on it, it's not lack of courage but, just plain terror of suffering,
and after, let others decide if it was right or not.

But than, that's just my opinion!
