Death

Death is natural and inevitable. There is no point in worrying about it. I'd rather worry about my life and making it worth the time I was given. The earth would die if our death didn't exist.
 
Death is treacherous.

Keep it chill, guys. It'd be much better to simply ask someone to clarify what they meant with a certain post rather than jumping to conclusions and starting a needless argument.

Tone it back a bit if you want to discuss darker topics like this. Thanks!

Teach them the real meaning of death.
 
lol death terrifies me. i hate thinking about it, i never want it to happen even though i know it's entirely inevitable. i just can't imagine leaving this place as much as i despise it sometimes.
 
Meh I'm ok with it. This might be tmi but I've lost 3 immediate family members so honestly the worst has already happened and there isn't a lot more to be afraid of.
 
Eh , i dont care.

Not trying to be edgy but life is too long to think about it and we all are going to die anyways
 
It comes to us all eventually and I suspect I'll die while riding my bike but that's fine by me. At least I'd die doing something I love.

I don't think that death in itself isn't really an issue to me. If I actually died, I wouldn't be feeling anything afterward, whether it's good or bad.

If my experience with the sleeping gas during a dental operation meant anything, it's that the time actually spent in real life will be skipping during the entire time you're unconscious. While your body is in that state, you won't feel anything. Yes, even the time will fly at a ludicrous speed. That is, until the effects of that anesthetic dissipated. As such, you'll wake up later on with the state of mind that came before your last time being exposed to anesthesia.

I believe that the same could apply after dying, expect this time you no longer have access to everything that was found in your body, including your memories. Since this skips the entire time your state of mind is unconscious, you'd be whisked away to the next possible living thing as if nothing happened in your entire lifespan.
 
i still haven't achieved my goal of being famous enough to be assassinated.

but as for death in general, i believe the concept was best addressed by Mr. Ralph Stanley, may he rest in peace:

 
Live long enough for me to be able to have a bike ride with you.

That is actually the sweetest and most sincere thing I have ever seen said to someone on here. Right in the feels.

Death? Yeah it scares me in a way. I think I'm more worried about how it will happen and how it would affect those close to me. I guess it's not really in my control but I would rather it was quick and painless. It's not something I like to think about too much.
 
If you live your life always worrying about dying, then you might as well be dead.
 
I've gone through bouts of wishing for death for months. I have also gone through bouts of fearing death and avoiding thinking about it. Right now I don't give it much thought
 
Unfortunately as depressing as it is to think about, some people have no choice but to contemplate their mortality.
It is a massive thought in my mind daily. I don't have another 70 years. I'll be lucky to get 5/6. I'm certainly not an idiot for thinking about it. People should be a bit more respectful and considerate with their comments on things like this.

Anyway, it comes to us all in the end. Just unfortunately it comes to some earlier than others. Don't think it's something to fear
Once you've accepted it's a part of life it's easier to deal with

I'm not afraid of dying, but I don't want to right now. I don't know if there's a God, paradise or if you just don't exist anymore but I don't really care and I don't worry about it.
 
The word inevitable comes to mind. Honestly, I've always seen death as a necessary step. If you have any basic understanding of how the universe works, you'd see death is a necessary step to create new life.
I was actually having a discussion about this last with significant other. I said most people like to believe they want to live forever, but have you ever met someone with Alzheimer's disease or Dementia?! Even if we could figure out how to renew cells faster and more effectively, I don't think the mind would follow suit. At some point the mind gets tired and wants rest. Just thinking about 200 years of living makes me exhausted.

Conclusion: I'll welcome death once it comes, but one can't help but hope it doesn't come too soon, and when it does that it isn't too painful.:)
