In a profound talk that examines our brief, perfectly human time on this planet, she asks us to look at our lives through the lens of our deaths in seeking to answer the question: “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?” Watch her full talk here:

    Eh, I’d rather maladaptively claw onto life since there’s nothing after it…

    My dad was the only person that I could talk about death so openly with and it really helped me deal with his death when the time came. Am I still a bit afraid to die? Yes. But I find comfort in the fact that my dad also found comfort in transitioning to the other side. I miss talking with him about death.. death is beautiful ❤

    I disagree. I did all the thinking about death I needed to do as a child. It took about 5 minutes. I realised death is inevitable and unavoidable.

    What more is there to think about. Why would I waste any more of my life thinking about something I have no control over.

      I think you have a point.
      But I believe she is simply talking about realizing death is enviable and then make peace with that fact.
      Only then can we say we have lived life well.
      Best to you ❤

    The more I thought about it the less scary it became. I’m still not as at peace as I want to be, but the fact it’s getting better gives me hope. 🙏🏾

    i love life & i’m not at all afraid of death

    i am afraid of dementia & for that reason hope i don’t live too much longer…

    _In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you._ ―Attributed to Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha)
    Alua, you have the right approach. Death and life are the two sides of the same coin.
    *_Without love and sense of humor there is unhappiness and life is meaningless._* 💕☮🌎🌌

Google Search as you know it is over.

The familiar blue links we’ve seen for 25 years are getting pushed out in favor of an “intelligent search box,” which Google is putting front and center as part of its all-in push for AI-powered experiences.

On top of all that, “information agents” are planned to release this summer, allowing you to track changes made to sites, whether it’s product prices or news updates, and alert you without any prompting. And it’s just the beginning of #GoogleIO’s big reveals.
