Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: No, it's not weird!. My uncle just passed away a month ago very unexpectedly!. A week later, my mother got very ill and had to be air lifted to a hospital in another city!. It got me really thinking about life, my family, who I am, when I will die, and everything else just as you are!. It honestly really changed my attitude and what I value and what my priorities are!. You aren't weird, you are human!. Your uncles death effecting you has validated that!. It also shows you have a heart and a conscious!. Be blessed that you have realized it all at a young age and have every day of whatever life the good Lord has yet to give you to live each day to the fullest and with all the love and respect for your family and friends you know you feel!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It's not weird, at all!. I think, to get the most out of life, you have to live it with the knowledge that one day, you're going to die, dirt is thrown on your face and that's it!. I've only recently started to let this idea sink into me!. I try to ask myself when make decisions: If I was on my deathbed, looking back on my life, was this a good decision!? I think it's is important to some degree, to live our lives from our deathbeds!. That reminding ourselves of death helps us to shape better lives!. I attached a video of a guy reading a poem about this idea, if you want the text also, let me know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com It's never weird!. The only difference difference between you and me is, nobody passed away in my family before i realize how greatful i am to live life!. and why are you afraid to die, don't be!. just go on your journey!. and i know sometimes, you think you're weird because of what you're thinking!. if yes, we're just on the same boat buddy!. and that is true that not a lot of people in the world think about how important life is!. it's not weird!. you're just different!.!.!.!. and way ahead of people!. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY MY FRIEND!.!. Hope that helpedWww@QuestionHome@Com In my opinion this experience of yours is your first encounter with life and its realities !. Some 2200 years ago Buddha had it and it transformed him !. So will you be !. Not everyone should end up as a Buddha !. We are all unique in our own ways !. Your thoughts about life , death etc!. will awaken you to realities around you and you will start to see things in that light!. You are on the right track, albeit 37 years earlier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com No it isnt many people think like you do even me and I'm only 16:) Just try not to let it over take your life Have some fun:)Www@QuestionHome@Com No that is not weird,that happens to others too,so you are not alone!.
