I really enjoyed reading this. It's hard to provide too concrete of feedback, given this piece's brevity. So instead, I'm going to give you things to put on a brag sheet for it. First and foremost, I like the mention of the concept of failure and of death.

These are necessary and important things to think about and the same can be said for problems. I call tell based on your writing that you have wrestled with these concepts. One thing that I would suggest, which has helped me, is reading Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations". The way he writes things down and puts them helped me think about a lot of these concepts. It is a bit intense though.

While seemingly simple, what you have written is powerful in its implications despite its brevity. There is a lot to think about here. I find it useful to frame every problem as an opportunity to test my thinking. How are my reactions changing the situation? Life is more full of opportunities than problems, a potentially helpful reframing. Over all, well done. I'm eager to see what you do next on this site.
