I am not totally here in order to scare you off:angel:, but recently I am very curious about this word "DEATH" and thinking, as well asking if every human being think about this things during they have their moments where they can wander for a moment. Or asking how do people react when someone died?

How do you imagine death and the place where you should go after? Which is basically, everyone of us know about this word.

As for me, I do sometimes think of this when I am out of all my works and got sometimes. To tell you the truth, it scares me off. By thinking those things, I always realize to spend a lot of times to the people I really cared about and do things like helping them as much as I can. I also feel to my parents that I really love them. Though some times I got over reacted when I am pressured and do things unexpectedly causing them to be hurt. :vicky:

hmmmn...strange thread, but i like it. I veiw death as an escape from life. as is life an escape from death.

I think this is more a debate thread or a general discussion thread, since you're not actually asking us for help with a problem you are having.

i think death is just a state of "not being".
it's impossible to imagine nonexistance because if you don't exist you can't have conscious thought
i believe in heaven, it's nice to think that physical death doesn't mean that i cease to exist.
i used to think of death as an excape but if you are dead you will not feel relief or anything else for that matter so it's the ultimate means to an end

Is it so? Maybe I put in the wrong place. Tehehehe..but actually, i thought of putting it here in the Life section, cause it gave me the idea that, if human can perceive life and talk about anything about this, it also kinda appropriate for me to ask about it as well..hehehe

I am kinda asking for help. In what sense? In the since that, I am kinda curious about your thoughts on this matter.hehehhe

Life issues is more of an advice regarding personal issues and problems - this is better suited for GD so I'm going to move it on over there for you. :yes:

Nothing scares me more than death

Well, I believe in reincarnation... But not like, immediately. I think you have this waiting period in some kind of fabulous place, but eventually you get bored of everything being perfect and decide to have another life again.

It's kinda odd, but I think of death in the same way I think of traveling through space. It's a brand new adventure (although death is far more certain then space travel XD) that I know nothing about, but will find out about when the time comes.

I think a lot of people are actually very insecure about death in general.

Whenever you hear anyone mention the death of a loved one, for example, they'll always say something like "passed away," despite them having no real convictions about death itself. And some people prefer to not talk about it at all.

Of course many people are scared because there is no proof or disproof of an afterlife. Nobody has ever come back from being dead after an extended period of time, and a lot of questions about what happens to the human conscience and 'soul' afterwards remain unanswered.

I personally think society should be a lot more open about death, seeing as though it's a very natural process to life. It's surely nothing to be privately ashamed or despaired about, everyone has got to do it eventually.

Thank you so much:vicky: I want to move this one to GD, but really dont know how to move my threads. hehe...Thank you again.

Death. Dead. Soul is gone. Moved on. Crossed over.

After you die, I believe your soul enters purgatory. A grey, colourless world where you continue your everyday life, until you are judged. Purgatory is on the same plane as our world, (explanation of ghosts). After your soul is judged one of three things can happen. Your soul can enter Heaven, which is whatever you want it to be. Your could enter Hell, which again can be whatever you make of it (ie, firey pit of doom, worst torments, hanging around with demons.... you get the picture). Or you can be reincarnated. Your soul enters a new host body and you begin life again. It can take a long time for a soul to be judged, and as they wait they wander purgatory. Things like exorcisms, move the soul along, help it to get noticed, enabling it to take one of it's three roads faster.

Now my opinon has nothing to do with religious bases. There is no God, there is no Devil. There is only Fate.

well, death is another journey unto itself. since the beginning of man, we have had a fascination with death and the afterlife. in fact, man made religion to give reason to the unexplained and unknown. we have all kinds of different religions and have seen many come and go throughout history, but ultimately, they all share the same factors of death being the beginning of another journey. no religion just says you die and thats it ur dead, they are made so that we have answers that can only be found in death.

Once you are born, you spend the rest of you life dying.
I am not afraid of dying, so much fearing how I died.
I hope what I believe in life about what happens after you die is true (or at least what happens to me after I die); however if there is nothing after life, then that cannot be as bad as what believe is the worst.
Another issue I have would be the body itself, not so much this idea of a soul, I want to be cremated because I believe it to be the best for the world around me, and I cannot look at any person who is dead in a casket because usually my last memory is that person laying lifeless. Though I have heard many other children have nice experiences with saying good-bye to love ones at a funeral, but I think it because their parents explained to the watch they believe death was, as for mine I just saw my dad get pissed and my mother bawl her eyes out.

...Honestly, when I see it typed "DEATH", all I can think of is "D-E-A-T-H... DESS!". xDD ( In case you haven't seen it... )


But being left alive while a loved one very close to me dies before their time is my biggest fear. I don't know what happens after death, but it does scare me sometimes to think about. All we can really do is make the most of the life we have, and if something comes after, then it does. I like to think that there is a nice place we go to, to spend the rest of eternity...

I believe in ghosts and wandering spirits though, too.

Life is a joke, and death is the punchline.

I see death as something people shouldn't see as so frightening. Life isn't permanent. It never will be, no matter how far we push medical science. People just aren't meant to live forever.

Also, death is something that should motivate people to live the best lives they can. Too many people just live a day in, day out, same shit, different day lifestyle, and hate it, but do nothing to change it because it puts food on the table, when they COULD find something that they LOVE to do and find some way to make it productive, and hell, if it's an uncommon talent, probably make a hell of a lot more money than they'll make with any boring day job.
Of course, society needs people to take those day jobs that most people find boring - they should be temporary, though - REALLY temporary - not just "Oh, this is temporary, this is temporary...*does nothing to make that true*" or left to people who WOULD actually enjoy them. You're not going to live forever; you shouldn't spend much of your life doing something you'll hate.

Actually, that's a main theme of a story I'm writing. Which I might add I hope to...well, use for the purpose of taking my own advice.

As for my thoughts on what comes after, it's complicated. Extremely complicated...I can't really explain it well. :sweat: But yeah...what comes to mind when I hear the word "death" is something that people fear a lot more than they should.

Actually i didn't think to much about death... I'm enjoying my life and living it up to the fullest
I'ts something that im not really afraid of to happen because it's all our faith... it's the only thing that we all have in common we are all going to die..

:)

I see Death as the end of the journey that is life. Everything dies, there is no hiding from this fact. But, dying naturally is different than suicide, since I tend to see suicide as a cowards way out of dealing with lifes problems. But thats just me. And I know, Im cold for saying that, and Ive been yelled at many times for my view. But honestly, life is full of problems, there are solutions, and cowardly ways out. I'll take any challenge head on over giving up any day.

I believe that death is just another chapter in someone's life. When your body is gone your spirit becomes something else. Reincarnation i guess. It could be anyone or anything on any world! What happens is anyone's guess but hey, knowing that death is not the end, it kind of takes the fear of it away.

death is the end of this stage of the adventure since energy once created can not be destroyed...so I personally believe we carry on in a different way in a different place

Drugs Exhaustion Alcohol Tobacco Hypoglicemia. The exhaugisnust (SC) factors that can all lead to death and can be self-imposed for the most part.

"Death is simply the phase after life. There's no avoiding it, no getting around it. I don't worry about it because of this fact. Since none of us knows when our time will be up, why worry about it? Should live your life to the best of your abilities and enjoy the ride."

"My thoughts on the matter anyway."

I really love the way you put things here Ms. Amani. Let me add my opinion as well regarding on this matter. I also don't understand to those people, who takes away life, as if it was nothing. This reminds me that some people, really don't care about ones life. Taking away as if it was nothing just to satisfy there self in order to revenge something, it doesn't really make any sense if you agree with me. Life is precious more than anything else. Doing something worthwhile for others and for yourselves is worth remembering:vicky:.

That is really the reality. We were born once, live once and die at once, when time comes. hehehe

Your not cold Mr. Draciolus, what you have just said is in fact very true, and even how much you escape from death, you will never will be. BUt suicide is already a different story and it's not worth to think about. It's against the law of life. hehehe:vicky:
