Name one thing in your life you hope you never have to see or encounter.
This one is really easy for me: watching someone die. I have a very difficult time dealing with loss, and I think seeing someone die would make me lose that sense of mystery and the idea that someone is finally at peace. It's difficult for me to explain.
When I was thirteen, my aunt died, and I remember my dad saying to me that "she's in a better place." People always seem to say that when people die; and people, when they're grieving, always buy into it. I think if I saw someone die, I would never be able to believe that. How could they possibly be in a better place when their body is right there in front of you and their soul is gone? I don't think I could recover from that feeling of loss.
