How often do you think about your own death?

[The Spawn]

"...In stories, the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.

Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life..."

--- Helen Keller

Almost everyday, it's what drives me do to stuff.

I think about death every time I eat a Chipotle burrito and run to the bathroom one hour later .

 

[Helghast]

I know I'm not immortal so I appreciate every second I have, but I don't really think about dying much. Maybe once a month or a few times a month. I 'unno. It varies.

 

[Revolver_Ocelot]

Lately more often, because I've pretty much decided to join the army after college.
The thought of ending up as pieces of bloody meat on the side of some Iraqi road is not comforting.

If fate holds up, you'll be recruiting into the special forces unit FOXHOUND.

Not to go off topic, but I f'ing love Chipotle!

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Always and Never.

 

[Lantern Venom]

I think about it often but not more than every few days. I'm aware that one day, it will be over and I want to accomplish certain things before I go. I also know that one day I'll stand before the Creator of all things and give an account of what I did with the gift I was given. I want God to say, "Well Done."

 

[Iceman]

I don't really think about my actual death but I'm always thinking about what I want to have done before I die.

 

[Alpha and Omega]

I used to always think about my mortality. Now I just do not care anymore; I want to live a happy life and ignore something that I have no control over.

Why stress over it?​

 

[hippie_hunter]

I never really think about it. All I hope is that it won't happen for a long time.

That's a very good answer! I admire you for thinking that way!
There are people that think a lot about their own death and forget how to live.

 

[November Rain]

I think those who don't think enough about their own deaths often end up wasting large proportions of their lives.

thinking and worrying are two different matters.

Realising how little or great an effect you have on life and the future and how important everything is in the grand scheme of things is very important.

If i was a parent, i would take this to be the equivalent of wondering how often i think about my child, to which i hope the answer would be if i got into such a situation, without a doubt every ****ing day.

 

[Mayor_McCheese]

I can't wait to die peacefully in my sleep

 

[TKing]

I don't really think about when, just how I'd die.

 

[kypade]

Never have. Until this thread, anyway.

Well you're going to Die...and when you do, I'm going to claim your body and make a disgusting bicycle out of it (one wheel between your hands, one wheel between your feet) and ride your corpse down a steep hill with a headlight in your mouth!

 

[Lackey]

take pictures, I want to see that bike
