【ゆるラジオ】つらいときに気持ちが楽になる考え｜みんな平等に死ぬ

Life inevitably brings its share of hardship, but what we rely on for comfort during those times varies from person to person—words, thoughts, music, places, loved ones, and so on. When I'm going through a tough time, I think of the eternal truth: "We all die equally." When I'm overwhelmed by unbearable sadness, thinking about this brings me a sense of calm, allowing me to forget unpleasant things, even if only for a moment. From the moment we're born, we can't choose our parents, and throughout life, we encounter injustice and various misfortunes. Life is a continuous series of things beyond our control. At such times, people are often deeply hurt not by the event itself, but by the question, "Why me?" And sometimes, we might feel envious or jealous of those who are more fortunate. At least, I'm the kind of person who feels that way. "Why me?" I keep repeating this question that will never be answered, and when I feel like I'm all alone in a dark, deep, bottomless swamp, I realize that death is equal for all, and no one can resist it. When I think about that, I can forget unpleasant things for just a moment, and even the people I hate the most seem endearing. Of course, I can't think that way when I'm actually experiencing it, haha. Everyone I love, everyone I hate, will die. Everyone who has what I want, everyone who doesn't, will die. In times of joy, sadness, and pain, each of those irreplaceable moments slips away like an hourglass, and there is an end in death for all of them. I love my alone time, when I can cherish that fact.
