ashes to ashes dust to dust from sand we came to sand we'll return no matter what we do no matter how hard we try one day we're living the next we're clocking out for the long nap we all know this but still the thought of death is extremely scary for most people i think this is because unlike most other things in life we don't know anything about death we don't know when we'll die how we'll die or even why we die we don't know if death is the end or if it's only the beginning of something else we just don't know however thanks to statistics and probability we might be able to predict how we're going to die most of the time when we talk about death prevention people think of locking the door to their houses learning martial arts or carrying around a weapon for self-defense we try to protect ourselves from the other people who might want to harm us but in reality the person most likely to kill you is you the odds of dying by suicide are significantly higher than the odds of getting murdered because we're always in our heads we're always aware of all the wrong we've ever done we become judge jury and executioner in our own court case and we sentence ourselves to punishments that we don't deserve our mind keeps us in solitary confinement with soundproof doors so no one outside can ever hear us scream slowly it drains life out until there's nothing left with how common suicide is it's surprising to see how some people still treat issues relating to mental health the way we treat mental health overall has improved yes but there's still a long way to go if someone came to you to tell you that they felt unsafe and they've been seeing someone around who might try to kill them your first reaction probably wouldn't be are you sure or it's probably just all in your head just don't think that way instead you would probably get the person to a place where they feel safe and away from their potential attacker so why is it that when it comes to mental health issues that are more likely to kill us we aren't as kind to one another we tell people to stop sulking and just be happy as if there's a light switch in their head that they can simply click on and off to control their emotions we tell them that they aren't being strong enough as if they can fight the demons in their head with their bare hands we need to start treating people in serious mental health crises the same way we would treat people that are about to get murdered instead of telling them to be happy or be strong let's help get them to a place where they feel safe because in reality when someone is murdered it's a guy who opens his door and just gets shot but when it's suicide he is also the one who knocks when he knocks we need to figuratively lock our doors learn martial arts and carry around a weapon for self-defense this can include things like taking some time off to clear your head and just breathe doing mindfulness practices like meditation and of course seeking actual professional help well we're not the ones doing the job dying by murder is surprisingly unlikely however if you will get murdered you'll most likely be killed by someone you know rather than a stranger most murders are carried out with a gun it's one of man's deadliest inventions and to be lethal with it you don't need to have much skill prior training or physical strength you don't need to know how to shoot or need to have shot before just pull the trigger and you'll cause a lot of damage this is why gun control is an issue that so many people talk about some people argue that bad guys are going to get guns anyway so the good guys need to be able to own one too to protect themselves but in reality how do you know who's a good guy and who's a bad guy how do you tell that a good guy who gave you a gun today won't turn out to be a bad guy tomorrow we also don't consider the fact that there are three different ways the gun can kill you you can get shot by it it can fire by accident or you can use it to put an end to it all yourself if you don't own a gun you can only die in one of these three ways you can get shot but if you do own a gun you immediately open yourself up to the other two increasing your odds of dying by a gunshot drastically according to statistics from the cdc 14 542 people died from gunshot related homicides in 2019 alone that number might seem like a lot however it pales in comparison to the number of people who died of suicide by gunshot 23 854 people for each time a gun is used in self-defense it's also used in 11 suicide attempts seven murders and assaults and four accidental fires with stats like these it almost makes you wonder why people want multiple weapons capable of doing things like this since we arrived on this planet humans have been trying to increase their lifespan we learned the best foods to eat for strength and rejuvenation we learned what not to eat for a healthier life and best of all we created medication we learned how to use drugs and other forms of medicine to help treat cure and prevent our diseases one of the most important drugs we created are pain relievers our body does a very good job at healing itself when we have a cut a tear or even broken bones if given enough time the body repairs itself with new cells and tissue but the pain we feel before or while that healing happens can be very excruciating with pain relievers we can reduce this pain drastically to the point where we can keep going on with our daily activities while the injury heals in 1775 opioids became a legal pain relieving medicine and in the 1860s it was used to treat troops during the civil war however something unexpected happened many of the soldiers that were treated with opioids became addicted to them and in that moment what was designed to heal us would soon also be able to kill us today opioid overdoses account for 1 in 92 deaths in america you are more likely to die from an opioid overdose than you are to die from a car crash a gunshot fire or smoke or even a natural disaster in new york alone about 3 000 people die yearly from an opioid overdose now i'm sure you're wondering if this stuff is so lethal why is it still so easily accessible well if you don't already know big pharma is used to collectively describe the global pharmaceutical industry they're responsible for producing our medicine which is a good thing but these are companies and companies are designed to make the most money not for the general good of the public opioids tend to make a lot of money so they convince everyone that opioids are essential even though there are non-opioid painkillers that are much safer and not as addictive but there's still more diseases like diabetes and hiv are deadly killers when mismanaged but when properly managed with the right medication people can lead a long and relatively healthy life even with them however this medication is extremely expensive for most people currently it is estimated that 463 million people are living with diabetes all over the world but unfortunately a lot of these people are going to die because they simply cannot afford insulin if you live in america you don't have to worry about hiv as much however if you live in sub-saharan africa you are at more risk if you live in eswatini whose population is 27 hiv-positive you might want to be extra careful on whose bed you lie as an american however there is one thing that you definitely need to worry about obesity if you're an american adult watching this video right now there's a one in three chance that you're medically obese obesity is an american epidemic that isn't talked about enough well it is but most people tend to just shrug it off with a predominantly sugary diet and the biggest fast food chains in the world it's not surprising that over 36 of americans are obese and obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern it puts you at risk of health problems heart disease high blood pressure diabetes and even cancer obesity is generally caused by eating too much and moving too little so you would think eating too little and moving too much should solve the issue and while for the most part it does if you do this you're going to die of nutritional deficiencies although a lot more attention is given to obesity obesity and nutritional deficiencies cause almost the same number of deaths in 2017 7 740 people in america died of obesity in the same year 7 846 people died from nutritional deficiencies nutritional deficiencies are sometimes caused by eating disorders like anorexia although they can affect anyone as a young woman you are most at risk this is in part because the world promotes being thin when in reality being extremely slim and being extremely obese are equally dangerous accidents happen and usually there's nothing we can do about it and for some of us that's sadly the way we're going to die whether it's a motor vehicle accident simply falling on the ground to your death or accidental poisoning most of the time there's really nothing we can do to prevent these accidents yes we can try to be safe but sometimes things simply don't work out the way they're supposed to and we come crashing to the ground however sometimes these accidents are not completely accidental if you drink and drive that's most likely how you're going to die technically it will be described as an accident but it would have been a very preventable one every one of us has a one in three chance of being involved in a drink and drive accident whether as drivers or passengers if you don't want to end up as a statistic always make sure that you have a designated driver or order an uber when you go out for a night of drinking while dying in a drinking and driving accident is easily preventable the thing that's most likely to kill you isn't cancer just as there's a one in three chance that you'll be involved in a drunk driving accident there's also a one in three chance that you'll be diagnosed with cancer in your lifetime this isn't very surprising considering the fact that there are just so many different types of cancer and none of them are completely preventable it's true that things like a healthy diet and exercise can reduce your chances but it doesn't completely eliminate them and for the most part this is true for death in general we can try our best to protect ourselves and be safe but when it comes knocking sometimes all we can do is open the door and be ready to be taken life isn't fair if it was we would all be born with the same genes predisposed to the same diseases and health risk factors but we're not diseases can be hereditary and straight from our mother's wombs were simply born to die hiv sickle cell anemia high blood pressure sometimes we simply inherit these diseases that make us more likely to die than the next person the moment we're born high blood pressure is one of the deadliest inherited diseases because it exposes us to the biggest killer in the world heart disease one in every four deaths is caused by heart disease if you smoke or have high cholesterol this is most likely how you're going to die heart disease from the most part is preventable but with things like poverty not giving people the opportunity to have the most nutritious meals they can it's really difficult when you think about it it actually makes sense the heart is the center of our lives so we're most likely going to die when it's not functioning properly which is why exercise and a healthy diet is always encouraged for all your heart does for you it deserves to be treated right if you're saddened about how likely and unpreventable your death is don't be things have actually been getting much better between 2000 and 2019 the global life expectancy increased by more than 6 years and it's still going up modern day medicine is getting better mortality rates are going down and we're living much better than we used to no matter how old you are watching this video right now in a way you've already lived a full life if you lived in the victorian era which is just less than 200 years ago you would have had a one in three chance of dying before you even turned five so live enjoy life to its fullest life is so fleeting so take time to pause and reflect be thankful for what you have and hopeful for what's to come ashes to ashes dust to dust from sand we came to sand will return no matter what we do no matter how hard we try one day we live and the next we die the thought of death scares many people and understandably so it's something that can happen anytime anywhere but living in fear of it is no way to live we all have limited time on earth and we need to make the most of it so instead of worrying about what happens
