Quote from 420Ace Drake

You shouldn't be afraid of death. Be afraid of how you die. Death is part of the cyrcle of life, every living thing lives and dies. Just accept it, you won't feel anything, no sadness, no anger, no madness, no loneliness. Besides, upon death the body releases a huge ammount of hormones and andrenaline which will give you the ride of your life.

Easier said than done. Being afraid of death is like part of human nature, and only people who are 'enlightened' does not fear death.

It's entirely possible that I don't know what I'm talking about though. But again neither do you.

Quote from Devour

Assuming that there's no sort of afterlife: If we came to life once, given an infinite amount of time there's no reason that it won't happen a second time. And that time would pass instantly due to being ded.

I've said similar things the last time this was brought up, it's hard to describe this idea without sounding like you're referring to reincarnation, isn't it?

Each individual life has a consciousness locked along with it, a subjective perspective that begins when you're born and ends when you die. Once the individual experience ends with death, it doesn't make sense to me that it's then locked to death, incapable of ever experiencing conscious life again through the perspective of another physical body, not necessarily human or even on this planet or galaxy. After death you return to the same state of non-existence you were in before being born, why can't it happen again?

I don't really consider myself spiritual, I don't think this means past and future lives are "connected" somehow. It does make the thought of death a lot more comforting, though. Cronos put it perfectly, I won't live to see the amazing breakthroughs humanity will make in the near and distant future and that makes death seem like such a loss. Part of me would like to hope for something more and this is the only explanation that doesn't sound like spiritual nonsense that I can think of.

What's hard about it? Being afraid of death isn't part of the human nature.. We were all dead before being born, did you felt anything to be scared of ? No. Simply because you couldn't feel anything. As I said, it's stupid to be afraid of death, you'll only get depressed and start questioning everything you have done; you are doing and what you're going to do. Be afraid of how you die, not death itself. Live your life to the fullest and you won't have any regrets when the time comes.

Gotta fear something. If not death then it's going to be something irrational. You could fear pain, but pain is just the body's way of telling you that you're doing something liable to cause death. It's just fear of death indirectly.

Most people don't think about death every waking moment of their life, that's a given. The real question is, when the time comes, would you be afraid of it?

Oh and your horrendously wrong about the fact that being afraid isn't part of human nature, but Exilement already pointed it out. I mentioned this like a page or two ago.

'Though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I will fear no evil for thou are with me.'

In other words, I'm scared of dying alone, not dying.

You always die alone dude. Anyways, ye, it might actually be part of our nature. My point is that ofcourse you should be afraid of dying BEFORE YOU ACCOMPLISHED WHAT YOU WANT, but don't be afraid of dying after you have done what you wanted to do (that doesn't mean jumping from the 10th floor cuz you are not afraid to deading..). It's part of life, you'll see that with years passing and getting old you'll start accepting death as a natural thing, the biggest win in life is to not have any regrets when your final moments come, then my friend you have won "life".

The real question is, what if it was time tomorrow. Or tonight. Or in the next hour. The next minute. This very second.




To the 90% of everyone who keep posting that they're afraid of dying as if it's far away. Certain. Inevitable but inasmuch steadily reaching as we are living. And oblivious to the circumstances behind it: will I be alone? Will I have unfinished business? Who are the people I'll be leaving behind? Will I be the only one left? And so on. To this I say...

Guess what, Death isn't picky. It'll come anytime. You won't be sure when no matter what. And it will be inevitable, but only in the sense that all things must come to an end, and not because we are slowly hurtling towards it. It also doesn't give a shit about you or circumstances. You could be a blob in your mother's belly and your lights can snuff as easy as the next guy.

So okay, death is everywhere, Hewitt. We get it. We should be afraid of it constantly.

Not really.

To say that we should be afraid of death is like saying we should stop breathing air. Death is like the antimatter that fills the void in our lives. Just as space is the infinite void to which the stars find something to cling to, does death live in every nook and cranny, every corner of our eyes, and every second we don't care about. We shouldn't be afraid of death. I'm not. But it's not because I'm brave. Because it's pointless in this world. Inconsequential. We can shed what little security we have left thinking about that which we cannot think of, or we can use that little bit to something more worthwhile.

This is Hewitt, and he is not afraid of death.

Whoa Hewitt you're no longer a mod?

Plus you can prevent death in alot of places so it's not everywhere... But for the most part every time you go in your car you have a nice chance of dying

Thank you for completely missing the point.

Yeah it was way to early in the morning to read...I mean mornings make it hard to focus on anything

we never know when death is coming, important is stay watch out and careful!
