Faceing Death

I think now and i don't think i can face death but i believe when i get older and im on my death bed i will be able to face it.

The thing that makes me worried is that whats after death?

i think of just darkness or what if my religion is wrong.

Its a very scary idea.

 

yes, the thought of death is scary, most people dont even like to think about it at all, but we have near death happenings everyday, we just never realize it. For example, if your driving down the road and someone passes you in the other lane you dont really think about it right? But what if that persons hand twitched just enough for the car to jolt to the side and slam into you, your dead right there.

So yes, the thought of death is scary, on the topic of what happens after you die, no one can really be certain for sure, there is proof of heaven and hell, and jesus christ and all the other religions, and you can believe what you will. But the honest truth is no one knows.

 

Im christian and my father is a pastor and i have heard of "caves" with the scripture of the KJV(king james version) bible written on the walls in the language they spoke back then and i have heard of foundings of noah's arch.

edit:you said proof of heaven and hell and jesus mind sharing with me please?

 

I don't have a heavy fear of death. If you don't think about death a lot I guess it makes you uneasy but if you wake up every day and it's your first and only thought you get used to the idea.

You never know what's going to happen in everyday life. The thought of death is like falling down stairs for me. Maybe you'll be fine and nothing will happen or you might get really badly hurt. Life and death just happen. In my beliefs it's just over or if there is a soul you'll have your own paradise and what you want.

 

I would love to believe that. but how can you just think its over? i mean that would make me think my life was a waste and im not so against reincarnation i mean its a nice thought.

 

I think whether or not you're scared depends on your personality and sanity.

 

I fear death. And I despise fear. Through that, I have grown contemptuous of death. Death should not be. That is, the end should not be. It doesn't make sense; it doesn't fit. It defies the concept of balance upon which the world is based. All of my contemplations continue to lead me to the same conclusion: Death is nonsensical.

If life continues afterward, I don't consider that death. And I will come to terms with anything that happens after physical death, so long as there is no end. There should never be an end; I refuse to face that end if it exists. It will face me. And it will answer.

 

Well i can give a one word response to the Epic

lol but seriously i just can't see why we would be here to just die so easily and not even have a long life span and that be it theres something on the other side....i can just feel it.

 

I try not to think about death. I used to, and I used to fear what happened after death, but then I realized that the more time I wasted thinking about it, the closer I got to it, and I really didn't want to find out that quickly.

So I stopped worrying about it all together and realized I still have a life to live first, and I'd better damn well make sure it's the best one I'll ever have.

 

personally ive seen enough to beleive in life after death...sometimes a happ thing sometimes a sad thing...but death...wluld take pain away no more illness no more physical pain no more anger or hatred just peace of mind...death can be such a sorrowfull thing...but so beautifull at the same time

 

I wonder when we die will we remember our life on earth? our loved ones, ect.

 

Damn straight. I try to go into it that way as well. I just live, and whenever I doubt, I try to remind myself of how much I hate that feeling of being powerless and fearful. And I remember that people will have to answer for it when my time is up here.

As precious as those things are to us, I have no doubt that they'll be accessible. We might have to work towards it, though. It may be at first that we just start again, blank slate, not even the shirts on our backs coming with us. But you know, people can do that in this life, and sometimes it's a great help. They can even come back to their old life and appreciate what they had even more. Granted, it won't always be the same, since those still living don't particularly like the feeling of being abandoned, but that's a different thing.

 

I have what I call an irrational fear of death. I do strange things when I think of how in the long run I won't be remembered and even if I am it won't revive me in any way. I fear so much that I stay awake at night sometimes, but at the same time I've accepted that the end is nearing and I just have to have as much fun as I can while I can. But all the same, it's like some famous man once said, "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not dying."

 

I'm a little afraid to die. I'm confident in my beliefs that there is an afterlife that won't end.
But the concept of a life without end horrifies me, as does the idea of life ending. No-win situation.

 

Everyone has to face the concept of death at some point in their life, even if the truth's as ugly as hell. We all try to avoid the concept of thinking about death and what comes afterwards either by keeping yourselves busy, leaning over to religion for answers etc. In the end, as horrible as it may seem, none of us can escape death... That is unless scientists can somehow create a miracle gene to keep us immortal (which I don't think it'll happen anytime soon).

I guess the only thing to say is to live your life to the full, try not to think of death and be as spontaneous as you want to be. Go crazy! Its your life, and only you can define how your life has been in the end... I will however, if there is a goddamn reaper at the end, make him talk and explain a few things that no-one could answer (that is, if it exists in the end, because I'm not fully certain.)

As long as people remember us in the end as we were, we are never really forgotten. I do however, believe that the souls of the dead still linger around for a while, but that's just me.

 

I do think about death a lot, lately I've been thinking a lot about accepting death as the only option, like giving your life for someone. Would I do it? I can see myself doing it, which is good in a way, but thinking about after death? I always see it in the Buddhist kind of way, that you're going to be reborn. Like when you see someone in the street that looks familiar but you've never met them in your life? Maybe they were reborn? It's kind of comforting thinking about it in that way because if it is that way, it wouldn't really be the end, we'd be starting a new book so to speak.

I do agree with Cherry. Have some fun while your alive, though maybe too much can get you sent to jail. Maybe you only live once? Might as well go out in style!

 

Where was that? I believe that proof any sort of thing like that makes it lose its appeal. I mean, what's the point of looking forward to something that you know exists? I'd much prefer to die with that tiny bit of doubt in my mind so I can find out for myself whether or not an afterlife exists.

Anyway, I believe in a very unique kind of afterlife. I believe that the good people that go to Heaven never truly die, but rather become a part of nature. Almost like ghosts, but more than that. I don't think of Heaven as a place, but a state of being. I believe that the few people who do go to Hell suffer what I like to call "Absolute Death," where over a period of hundreds of years they are forgotten by world and completely cease to exist.

Don't ask where I got this idea, I've had it in my head since I was very little and nobody else I know believes it either.

 

I'm not gonna lie, death is one of those things that keeps me up at night. Well, I take that back; infinity scares me a lot. It's a little irrational, but it really does.

I'm a Christian, and I believe in Heaven and Hell and all of that; so where I go after I die isn't a big worry. But I worry about being wrong, about how I could just close my eyes and cease existing. That's where faith and hope comes in for me. Even so, I don't like the idea of not having an end after the end. As in, infinity after death. I just can't wrap my mind around the concept, and it scares the crap out of me. There's no logical reason; it just does. However, when the time comes, I think I'll be okay with it; I just hope I'm 142 years old before that, though.

 

Lol. I get it. Infinity is irrational, just like the fear of infinity is irrational.

Anyway, try to not think of it as "fluffy cloud Heaven" and more in terms of becoming more intimate with the whole of nature. It's much less scary around if you think of it that way.

 

I'm not scared of death if I'm prepared. I'm using this life to prepare myself spiritually before its too late. Yes I'm a Christian, and I think Hell scares me more than death. Keyblade Spirit's theory sounds about right in terms of what I fear...'absolute death.'
