bit of a sad thread but.. How often do you think about death

Hmm, not in a while. The last time was a few months ago, when I got hit by a car. That sucked, but I was incredibly lucky because nothing was broken. I was just shook. If anything, I'm more bothered by thinking about the deaths of the people I care about.

Paradoxically I think less and less about the death the older I get and just get on with living.I was a proper little morbid child though and would spend hours obsessing about my impending doom and the fact that one day I'd just cease to be for ever.

I believe in reincarnation. It doesn't phase me at all, the prospect of life after death excites me

Occasionally. Then I try to work out what it means and my brain reboots itself.

I just hope it doesn't hurt too much and that I'm completely out of my tree when it happens.

I think about it all the time. Always have.

Tolstoy said there was no more sense in worrying about being dead than there is worrying about the time before you were born.

Tolstoy was talking bollocks.

Death.

Daily, because each day it could happen. In fact I think of people dying around me just as much as my own death, because I'm really not looking forward to having to deal with that.

1) Sit in a room with people
2) Look at their faces
3) Realize they're going to die
4) Realize you're going to die
5) Meh

I think about it alot, mainly due to psychedelics giving me a brief basic look at what it might be like. Nasty stint on prozac left me pretty suicidal earlier in the year too, probably the most I've ever thought about it. It's been better over the past few months though as I've done pretty much nothing except pop to the odd 'rave' and play on my xbox so had nothing to worry about.

It's human nature to think about it. Its not sad.
I think about it alot and i am scared of death, i try to put on a smile and just get on with this hell we live in due to the thought of the inevitable, but in reality death is around every corner and we are just dust.

I can't believe how many people are saying they think about it a lot... (this coming from someone who works in a cancer hospital). Yeah there's loads of death about, but what's the use worrying about what you can't control?

Aint it obveous people think about it becuase we dont know what will happen, and we know it is coming.

I suppose that when it happens....it'll just be a lack of all sensation. so as long as it doesn't happen before I turn 60 I suppose I can handle it.

Well you have a different outlook to me then. I don't know your circumstances though, so who's to say that i won't feel the same way as you do in the future... i could lose someone close to me, have a near-death experience or whatever. That could shake up the way i think about life/death. For the moment though death isn't high on the agenda

Get busy living, or get busy dying to quote the shawshank redemption

i joke

True i did witness one of my primary school teachers die when i was like 6, my uncle was murdered by the IRA, i witnessed a murder with my mates when i was 12, and a few of my mates have gone to war and died, these might have something to do with it.

I used to worry about it allot, these days it cheers me up in a weird way when im depressed cos i can say to myself - 'well at least its not forever'

Reasonably regularly I guess. But possibly from slightly different angles:
- I'm more interested in the moment of death. What happens? What is the experience like? Does one just fade out? Or is it like a TV screen that just shuts off instantly? What exactly happens at the moment between where someone is alive, and then dead? How does being put through a massive amount of physical trauma/pain actually kill you? Possibly a bit morbid.
- You never know when you're going to die. So make the most out of the life you have now.
- Does accidental death actually occur? Or does the conscious mind simply jump to another track in the multiverse of diverging universes and therefore you never actually know that you've died in a given reality? This ties in with my personal pet theory of consciousness which might be a bit long to go into here.

We should be more like the mexicans and have a fucking massive party.

Why spend your time worrying about death when you can have a fiesta!
