King Tom Hiddleston Wants To Have No Regrets + Recites A Poem By e.e. cummings
One of the things that continue to puzzle me is how most people state, when asked about death, that they're not afraid of dying and while saying it
a., believe themselves
b., think themselves unique, extraordinary or "weird".
When everyone says it, how can it be extraordinary or original? Almost everyone likes to say "I'm not like the others. I'm not afraid of death."
Well, yeah, but everyone else has said the same. Or am I the only one magically surrounded by fearless human beings?
When I was a teenager I still believed what people told me. Then I saw people dying, and I saw people nearly dying, or believing they were dying, and NONE of them was without fear. I od'ed once, and maybe I am now a bit more fearless since then but I certainly was not blasé about living.
I am not saying everyone is lying-only that most people have no idea what it's like. I know of two, perhaps three people who I believe, because of their experiences, but none of them says idiotic things like "We all die, so why be worried?" or "It's stupid to be afraid of death."
Admittedly my experiences are hardly empirical data ... but still.

Tom Hiddleston's biggest fear in life is to have regrets.
The 'Thor: The Dark World' actor admits he isn't worried about dying, but he does worry about looking back and feeling as though he hasn't made the most of his life.
He explained: "I have terrible fear of wasting time. Who knows? Maybe I should relax a bit. Maybe working too hard is wasting time. I have a fear of regret. I'm not afraid of death, although I know that sounds odd."
The 32-year-old British hunk has become a household name for his portrayal of mischievous villain Loki in Marvel's 'Thor' and 'Avengers' movies and he feels it's no coincidence he has achieved success in his thirties as opposed to his earlier years because he feels more prepared to tackle challenging roles and big projects.
He told GQ Magazine: "Maybe it's just getting older. You become so palpably aware this is not a dress rehearsal. There's a big sign in blazing neon that says, 'You haven't got long.' But I think it takes a beat to learn that. Life has to knock you down in order for you to realise it, because when you're a kid, you think you're immortal."
