How often do think about death?

Hey everyone,

I was wondering how often do you tend to think about death.... When I was younger I always thought about what the hell would happen after you die.. so, right now, are you afraid of dying? are you okay wiht dying (which I can't see people being)? Do you think about it more that you have before when you were younger?

As for me, I am afraid of dying, I tend to think about it more since I have friends and family members who have been diagnosed with cancers, diseases and other horrible things like tumours and what not.

Tell me what you think.

Cheers!

I only think about death during the regular mobid "death" threads here in OT.

well now that your thinking about it.. you afraid of death? lol actually death is not that morbid if you think about it, it's natural.. nothing morbid about it... unless you're into necropheilia... now thats morbid... and ackward.

I think about it too much, I believe.

I realize how little time we all really have, and it saddens me that "this" will not always be, at least not for me. And that someday, hopefully WAY down the road, I'll have to say goodbye to my wife, our kid (who's just a little fetus right now) and so on.

I also sometimes marvel at how fragile we all really are. So many things can happen out of nowhere and WHAM!!! So long!

So, in short, yes, I think about death, probably too much at times.

I try not to think about it because it's a waste of time. I already understand that life is inherently meaningless and that nothing magical happens after death. There's no use dwelling on it.

Death doesn't scare me, i rather look forward to the release from this world. Not in a suicidal way i'm kinda exited about dying, to see if there really is existence after death. If there is not i wouldn't mind either way.

I do like this idea, I am excited in a sense to see what happens, but I am afraid because I don't want to leave my lady alone.. she would die without me or I without her.

I think about it pretty frequently in different forms. Sometimes I just wonder about the concept of death and the various ideas about the afterlife. Sometimes I wonder what people would say about me after I died. Sometimes I think about ending my own life. Sometimes I think about what it will be like when people in my life die. I've been pretty fixated on it lately, but that always happens to me after I lose someone, and I lost someone recently. Even when that isn't the case, though, I still wonder about death on a fairly regular basis.t3hrubikscube

I have attempted suicide before and i felt, how would my parents and people i care about cope with my passing. I came to the conclusion that when everyone i care about me dies, suicide here i come.

Almost never. I'm too busy living my life to its fullest and living day by day to think about what may or may not happen after I die. What matters is what we do now...

I agree, Actually, she has already told me that she will die before me so that she wouldn;t have to be alone... This is the reasn why I am afraid of death.. I don;t feel like I would have enough time with her, even though we have been together for 10 years already (since we were in grade 9).. there is never enough time, you know.

I have a much stronger sense of mortality than I did a few years ago, and not existing anymore is definitely a fear I have, but I try not to dwell on it because it won't do me much good.

Unfortunately it's a subject I have to deal with on a daily basis. But I try to keep my head down and just keep pushing ahead into the void.

[QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"] You know, I have thought about that a little. And, as horrible as this MIGHT sound, I hope that when the time comes (and I hope that is a LONG time away), that she goes just a little before me, because I can't bare the thought of leaving her old and alone.YellowOneKinobi

Kudos to you as well. I know what you mean with the goodbye is somewhere down the line, but I do not believe in God, but I do believe that there is something out there, that will make sure that her and I will be together no matter what.. sounds all cheese ballish, but i think it's true. Just like the movie "what dreams may come". We have been together for 10 years and it feels like yesterday we started dating.. I can only imagine what it will be like when we are 80 looking back on our life together. Anyone know the fountain of youth location...? lol

I don't fear death-- I just fear the consquences of my death. I fear for my family because I know it would cause them a lot of distress; I don't like to see them like that. Death can occur at any time, so I try to always be thankful for what God has blessed me with.

[QUOTE="First_Descent"]

[QUOTE="YellowOneKinobi"] Kudos to you both. I married my high school sweetheart too. 15 years ago. And you are right, even if we both live to be 100, it still won't be nearly enough time. I guess it's the knowing that there is a goodbye somewhere down the line that gives me chills. (Although, I'm pretty sure there is an afterlife, but I have no idea what that would be like).YellowOneKinobi

You best give me a hollar so I can have a drink of it! lol. I enjoy the fact that there are relationships out there that actually work like ours. I have only been with this one person since I was 13.. and I have no intentions have being with any other.. and I do know what you mean that you will be with your lady, just like I will be with mine in the end.. it will be interesting to see how it turns out and how it will be.. too bad noone can inform us on this outcome! lol

I agree, i think this is a natural process as well to deal with death... and to help put it in our own perspective.

I still wonder about death on a fairly regular basis.t3hrubikscube

All the time.
Mine. Otherwise its usually my close friend's because shes always sick and no one knows whats wrong with her and of course that makes me worry for her.

On a day-to-day basis.

I mainly think about what's going to happen when I get there, and I hope it's not nonexistence, because that'd suck.

But I also think about my parents and their old age and how upset I'm going to be when my Mom goes.

I haven't thought about it...until you brought it up :x.

Honestly, I rarely think of my demise, mainly because of my age, but also because I'm not a depressed sack of sadness like some people can be.

I guess when I die I cease to function. Nothing too complicated about that.

Not that much actually. Although sometimes I always wonder what people will say about me when I die or if they will remember me, and how long I will be remembered.

Most days. Usually thinking about suicide. Not that it's something I'd really consider, but it's always intrigued me.
