Seek that you do not fear your Mortality;
for it seems rather foolish to fear anything
but especially so such an inevitability;
fear not Mortality;
Mortality is a question
and the answer is Life;
many fail to respond;
they may indeed live
but they have no lives;
they sacrifice their time
to Pantheons external
rather than devoting their fleeting time
to the one internal;
fear not ephemerality;
it is an opportunity
but like any other,
it can be, and often is,
overlooked- ignored- misused-
squandered.
Fear not your Mortality
for it is an opportunity
to transcend this reality;
life is a sacred and holy opportunity;
(and these words, from an atheist!)
it's up to you to make the most of it.

Worry and Fear are misuses of Imagination.
