Do you think about your own death often?

[jaydawg]

Wuss, I'm calling it quits at 30

Well HH, just remember one thing: suicide is for *****es.

 

[Turtle-Man]

Just a few days ago, I thought about something. What if everything here isn't real anyway? What if the timeline of the Earth has already passed, and basically when we are born, we are assuming the life of someone from the old world? We don't realize it because all of the person's personality traits and everything are incorporated into your soul, and you basically live the person's life, repeating every single thought and act the person once did. Then, when you die, you basically reawaken in a different time as someone else, live through that life, and repeat this random act for an eternity. It just seems so... strange. You live through someone's life, then you could die and assume Mozart's life, die and become a caveman, trapped like this forever.

In fact, I'm not sure what to expect after my death. Maybe that could happen, maybe we could go to heaven, maybe we just die, fall asleep, and never wake up. Like... sleeping without experiencing a dream. Just there, unable to think or feel.

Hmm... that sounds like it could make a good book. Frozen in the Old by Turtle-Man.

 

[jaydawg]

Sounds like reincarnation meets the matrix.

 

[Pksoze]

Yeah as I'm approaching 30.

I'm not so much thinking of how I'll die... more like that I will die and that inevitability is depressing.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Its something that everyone thinks of..some more than others.

 

[AndThePickles]

I try not to because when I really start thinking about it it scares the heck outta me.

I'm in agreement. I find it silly when people say ALL they care about is the "how they die" aspect. F*** that

It's not the how, it's just the fact that you do... die.

We have this lifetime of existance, then just like in sleep without dreaming, we are in a forever state of nothingness. No ability to think, no functioning brain... Just non existance. That to me is the scary thing. How? Don't care, just don't want to

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Doesn't really bug me...no.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

How old are you? What 14-15? Probably wouldn't bug ya. Say that when you hit 20

 

[AndThePickles]

Lol I think he's actually older than 20 buddy.

 

[Speedball]

I think about it sometimes.
Usually I think about myself as an old man though.
I have big plans for the future, I'd like to see them through

If you don't exist, you can't be scared. Or sad. Or lonely. That's not half bad, IMO.

Not to mention, non-existance may not await you after you die anyway. We just don't know.

I'd rather be scared and alive than dead and "at peace"

 

[Phoney Bone]

I often think about death at night, and it's a really stupid thing to do. Things are always scarier at night. But I try to take my mind off it, but it'll always travel back to this subject. I think lives are too short. I can't believe that we've forced ourselves to one day die just by being born and enjoying life.

I think of blackness for eternity....And hope that it's not that. That there's something afterwards, just something to do. Then I like to thing, that even if you do die, someone is alive. That someone is themselves. They're alive, living a life. And to me, that somehow means you still live. If someone has life, life still is there. Trippy, I know.

Then I think of awesome situations where you die and you take off a helmet and it turns out life was a big virtual reality game training you for something even bigger. I mean, how the hell do we know?

And I try no to think about it, and sometimes I go through months without thinking of it, but recently a friend of the family's husband has passed away, so it's hot on my mind. I know it's unhealthy too, seeing as I'm 16. I have tons of time left - I should enjoy it while I have the mojority of my time left.

And then you have to remember we really shouldn't worry about death, because we won't have too. When we're dead, we won't have to think about it at all. Creepy, huh. Here's something weirder. One random day is gonna become very important to, but you probably don't know when. The day you die.

I just hope I live a long, lush, rich life full of happiness and joy. And I hope my death is quick and painless, surrounded by loved ones.

What if we are just bacteria that wasn't necessarily meant to happen?

You know like if you leave a piece of bread out long enough it molds? We're just mold

That gets tossed away!

Why?

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Why?

Having a level of conciousness is important to me.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

To imagine there is a time that we have no ability to think, imagine, reason, etc... anything... BLECH!! Hate it. :-/

 

[Phoney Bone]

Then don't think about it, man. Just say "I'm not gonna think about it"....Usually works for me, at least for a couple weeks.

 

[CConn]

Having a level of conciousness is important to me.

But, as I said, it's a definite possibility that you may still exist post-death. Whether it be heaven, a different dimension, or the 616 universe.

That would mean you'd have to believe in a possibility that there is more than the body. Like the soul exists and continues past losing the human shell. Hmm... That seems so out there.

 

[AndThePickles]

I think post-death, if it involves another form of existance, might be even better than how we live. You never know, and THAT is what scary- not being certain of knowing what comes next.

 

[Phoney Bone]

**** if I was transported to the Marvel Universe after I died that'd be stupendous.

Yeah....Ya know what, that's kicking rad. I'm just gonna think that each time we die our conciousness is transported to a different reality, with no past memories of our different lives. And this is just one in the line of enternal others.

Doesn't work for me. I just want to be this me, and want my memories and future ones.

Well yeah, you know we're not actually scared of death, it's our inate fear of the unknown that frightens us. We have no idea what actually happens when you die here on earth. We've just been told things. From alive people.
