Why not die?
 

Do you fear death? Why? Why not just die. Answer the question, be clear and concise, or I will castrate you.

I don't fear death. I fear but one thing. No, not fear itself, I flip fear the finger in all cases but one. The only thing I am afraid of is not living... I fear being a slave of to others stereotypes, ideals, and commands... I refuse to live in a state in which I do not make my own decisions. If I want to do something, I am going to do it... If I don't want to, I am not going to do it.

I fear not living.

i fear not having a good video card

Yeah... It's okay... we all have major problems.

"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."

Pink Floyd, The Great Gig In The Sky (Album: The Dark Side of the Moon)

I find no reason to fear death. Death is only apart of life and will come anytime it wishes. It could be in 5 seconds, tomorrow, or even in 30 years. You honestly can't predict it. I only fear for the people I care about. I am afraid of something happening to them. I am afraid that I won't be able to help them, that I won't be able to make them happy. Other than that, I really don't fear anything (well, almost anything. I have an aerophobia)

Quite odd, that's the song that inspired this thread! Wanna make e-babies?

That's odd. I thought that was the song that inspired this thread. :weird:

So you fear death in the sense that other people will mourn over you... sensible, honorable... I have thought about that one... but then I decided that it was a superiority complex, and that the people I associate myself are smart people and will not mourn my death for longer than is neccesary.

I would never fear something as inevitable as death. Who wouldn't want to sleep forever? I love sleep.

I dont fear death. I fear the day im not willing to give up my life for others. I can say right now that i would give up my life for someone else, but alas i have never been in the situation. The day im not able to do that, in my mind, is the day I die.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Sounds almost like a fanatical inferiority complex of a man who is hell bent on the ideal that life should be full of suffering and you should just except it. Quite hell fire and brimstone sounding when you think about it.

Fuck you guys, I'm deathly scared of death. I hate the idea of me not being able to think, exist,...be. I don't care if I was a fucking vegetable, I would still like the ability to think.

no i wrote the first on wrong i guess. Thats not wat i meant. Its more that i'm willing to sacrifice myself for the greater good, but i will avoid at all costs. If the situation does arise and i have a gun pointed at me, im not gonna pull the trigger for him just cuz death is inevidable.

Im not a no fun tightwad (i have done many stupid things) and i wouldnt throw my life away.

Yah incase that makes any more sense. Dont get the wrong impression ^_^ Life Has been awesome good so far and i cant complain but living isnt living if u got someone elses blood on ur hands just cuz u pussied out

But.. you could be over the hills and far away, or maybe on the dark side of the moon.

As you guys may have figured out by now, I am pretty religious in my beliefs and what-not. So the main thing i fear is hell, and man i fear it with every nerve in my body. Even if you don't believe in the bible, you still fear hell. It's a place that no-one can describe how evil it is, eternal suffering, thinking you're in heaven, wishing to die, but death won't come. I too fear death... right now, I suppose when I'm older I will understand that when it happens, it happens, but I've only lived a little bit of my life, and so far, it's been kick-ass. And worse than dying, i fear dying alone, with no friends or family.

I really don't fear death it going to happen to me someday, hopefully not until I am old and do everything I want. But if I am going to die, then so be it. I don't fear what I can't control.

I've never found the time to read the Bible, but does it state that Hell is a bad place?

Are you serious or is that sarcastic, if it is, try using the tags that I just found out how to use. And if you're serious then why yes it does state hell is a bad place, and that it's not just a state of mind like heaven, it's a place. In some places, it's also known as




















FRANCE. (I crack myself up)

Why don't I die? Because I haven't completed my job yet.

Is it dark?

NGM... stop quoting classic rock songs... it's arousing me. Really. Stop. I don't want to turn gay.



And no one respond to GS's last comment, it will only humor him.

:grin:

Ahhh!

I don't die bcause I want to give liveing a "good" life a chance. If I should become tired of or not attain a good life I shall go on a killing spree and kill myself before I get cought.

Wonder would you guys piss on your pant if someone pointing a gun at your forhead and counting "3, 2, 1 BANG". I would bet 100 dollar so.

Do I fear death? Hell ya. Do I fear pain that come before death? Hell ya.

Why?

Because I am still fucking young, I haven't done anything that I proud of that will make me pass away with no regret.

I've already had 3 near death experiences. First time I nearly drowned, second time I almost sufficated when something was stuck in my throat, 3rth time I fell from 5 meters high landing on my back causing my lungs to collapse and again nearly sufficating. All 3 times I passed out so I dont really remember things well.

After having had those experiences I can say for sure I'm not affraid of dying.

The topic is that even tho many of us claim to not be affraid of death, Why don't we just end it now. I ask you UZG why don't you end it all?

Death is a pretty scary thing to think about, but not one that should be feared, if that makes sense. I mean, the thought of dieing, and never, and I mean ever, coming back is quite scary. Just think how long 15 years takes. Now, think about 150 years, now 1,500 years, until infinite, which is how long you will cease to exist.. That just doesn't sit right with me.

I don't walk the Earth with a fear that I might die, but when that time comes, which will hopefully be much later than sooner, I can only hope my life had meaning and I am at least happy. If not, then I'm sure fear will over come me.

So, to answer the question, I don't fear death, but the thought doesn't exactly appeal to me either.

I fear dieing becuause I don't know whats in the future after death. Is everything over? No more life, no more thoughts, pictures, events, nothing. It's just dark, you have nothing anymore , no soul, no haeven, your existance is gone, and nothing. It's a scary thought, what if there is nothing greater after death.

Hell is fucking scary. You'll suffer and you'll want to die, but you can't because your already dead. You want to get out of your horrible dream, but you can't. You'll suffer for the rest of your soul life.

And why not? If you take it from the scientific point, you don't have any thoughts anyways... you just aren't there... not existing shouldn't really be a negative should it? If you dont take a scientific belief about death, then why would you fear death at all?

Penny's sig kind of reminds me of a car wash.

That's exactly what Im afraid of. Nothing after death... complete blackness without existance.

This question poses yet another question, what is the purpose of life, or are we merely an accident of some big bang?

Refer to kagom's "post whats on your mind" thread for my answer to that.

Exactly my point Penny. Not existing whatsoever for all eternity sucks. I have thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. right now. With the amount of length I have those attributes, non-existence will last an infinite amount longer. That blows. Our breif life is like 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000001% (Billions upon billions more zeros) of non existence

If there's one thing I've always said about life it's this:

Don't take life too seriously, you never get out alive.


Anyway, death. I'm one of the few people who hasn't had anyone....close to me die yet. I wouldn't really know. I've always thought about other people dying as just going away, and you not seeing them again. Ever. But death, it really depends on your views. If you believe in the afterlife, or in becoming a ghost afterwards, or even reincarnation, then you wouldn't give a monkey's about death. Take the Egyptians. They believed a person goes to the afterlife after life, and they live again. Or take the Nac Mac Feegle (read "The Wee Free Men" and "Hat Full of Sky" by Terry Pratchett), they believed that the world they were in was the afterlife, and that when someone dies in the afterlife, they go back to real life to live again, and see all of their dead friends from the afterlife.

Me? If it comes, it comes. Embrace it like you would embrace a loved one. Be scared of it, and you will end up being like that all your life - always scared that it is round the corner, waiting for you. You will end up living life afraid of doing things. Embrace it, and you can do anything and not be scared of dying.

That wasn't your quote, that was word for word in National Lampoon's Van Wilder...

I didn't say it was my quote. I just say something I always say about life is: ________ I didn't say something I always say that is my own material, did I? Anyway, I might like the phrase and try to speak it into my daily conversation. Like the word moot, another thing you might say is out of something.
