In first period Chemistry, my teacher's daily dose of wisdom went something along the lines of
"Learn not to fear death, and you also shall learn not to fear life."
..What a load of crock.
Death is like Life's final guest at the end of a long celebration, someone or something that's pre-welcomed into our lives whether we choose for it to be so or not.
I've already accepted that, and I'm still terrified of living.
I haven't lived long enough to find something worth truly living for.
I wonder if most people don't, but pretend that they do.
Adults have a habit of doing that.

I love your post. They're always so mentally stimulating and all.
Life is over-rated. That's all I really have to say. Your question about whether or not people truly do find something worth living for is cliche. You shouldn't base your way of going about your day in that sense. It'll just make you crazy and obsessed with wanting to seek that 'something' out. But I'm most certain that people have several 'somethings' worth living for, they just don't realize them.

I think people find something to live for within thier reach. They've got to. Even if, considering more choices, it might not even make their top ten things to live for.
Thank you for thinking the way you do, by the way. I absolutely appreaciate all your questions, opinions, and seemingly arbitrary but actually incredibly socially poignant stories. You are awesome.
