I’m Stoic sir. We are told to not to fear death itself, but to fear the “fear” of death. Death is not evil. It something out of our control.
Sure, but you've been tempting death with reckless and uninformed decisions. That's within your control.

True. I understand. I have done my research before I started aas again. Believe me. I was uniformed years ago sir. Now I’m educated. Measly 400mg of deca is the slightest of my worries.

I’m a daily practitioner of Stoicism (happy to have another on the board). Not fearing death isn’t the end we seek; it is only one of the externals we acquiesce to.

Contemplating my mortality and my death without fear of it is a daily practice.

That doesn’t mean I live my life in a way that would hurry death to me, however:)

As TODAY aptly noted: there are many things within your control that you’d be wise to pay more attention to.
