I'd prefer an afterlife. I feel like I need to exist, I need a reason to be me, a reason to be there. Not existing would suck, though I wouldn't know since I wouldn't exist.

As for death, I admit I fear it. I don't want to leave this place yet, I don't want people to sad. But, sadly, it is the complex of life that we all die and what begins must end, so I will die one day.

The only thing that really bothers me is time. Time is odd in that even now the past seems like a blink. When im Agent it will still seem like a blink and I will have gone nowhere. Im aging but is time really passing? Time could be just an illusion of our minds and we are all just sharing that illision, that is what scares me most of all.

I embrace death with open arms, afterall it is our home in which all of us will have to return to.

Diaboso · 2006-04-14, 10:54

If I dont think to death then one day it will happen and it will be the end and i would have happily not wasted time thinking about something that will happen and has to happen no matter what you do. I beliveyou should not think of death but what you should do befor the inevitable to make sure you have no regrets and go places after death that no one would want to go.

so I have one thing to say to you all "FREE YOUR MIND, FREE YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!"

Diaboso · 2006-04-14, 10:59

Yes.

Cheat Death and kill myself before I die

Bwahahaha! You can't have me now!

Eh well, I'd probably have done most of the things I wanted before that day. Maybe finding the perfect place to die?

I'll probably watch a bit of my favorite anime, play my favorite pc game, have my favorite lunch, you know, the insignificant things that make me myself.

Lord, send me to an evergreen place where I can watch anime, listen to my favorite music and have a huge harem of anime lolis

Heck yea! Except I need to be able to play my video games in that vast evergreen place. There nothing will need to be plugged in and I can sit near a babbling stream underneath the shade of a tree all day with all my harem about me... good stuff.

Think about it...If death didnt exist then we wouldnt be motivated to do anything with our lives,DEATH is the meaning of life in a way cause it makes you live!

Hebby · 2006-04-15, 17:03

death is another adventure in life.
i have no thoughts on it cos its meant to happen, y try to avoid something you have no control over? like you had no control in being born. you just were. as you are born you will die.

no one knows what death will bring. it could be a total void like when you sleep at night and you cant remember the dreams. just know time has passed. or it could be another adventure for you to learn in like life is now.

what ever it is shouldnt try and think to avoid it. no point =/

mantidor · 2006-04-15, 17:53

wow the forums got all gloomy suddenly :P... death, well, death is the ultimate truth, is the only thing certain for any person anywhere in the world, no need to worship it just because of that though.

Blizzer · 2006-04-16, 01:48

If I had some garuntee of an afterlife I wouldn't mind death so much.

If I was offered imortality I would take it, I think anything is better than death.

Deo Death · 2006-04-16, 03:01

I don't know, I think I want to die. What's beyond life? Will I see those that I have cared for that are dead? All is unexplained except for religious epics, etc. because it's not possible to come back....except for the dogs in Pittsburgh... So, maybe when the scientists that brought back those dogs from death will be able to bring back humans. I don't know, but I wonder what it will be like. I've always had a fascination with death.

neoko · 2006-04-16, 20:56

Honestly, i think most of us will hit the dead end so fast and so sudden that we wont be able to comprehend that it is the end until the very last second when supposably our life 'flashes' in front of our eyes.

After that, like someone had said, the 'blank' period where you go to deep sleep - the instant between closing and opening your eyes.

I think if i had a choice, i would select a coma. Right now, my life's a mess, having no motivation (zombie mode) doesn't help either. Especially when my parents keep demmanding that i succeed in college/university. That way when i wake up, i'll be free, people would have changed, and i would hopefully have oodles of naruto/bleach manga to read!

I'm a Christian, so ;P

But before this, i always wanted a world like 'Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou' after death. I think she said it was the twilight of mankind. I would love that sort of life, where you're free, and it's peaceful.

Anime, manga, well-composed music would be a bonus. But who would be bothered to do that when life's like this~!

WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT DAY YOU WHERE TO DIE?

and if you did what would you do on or near that day?

Yes and partially No. I say yes because knowing that will allow me to wrap up my business here on earth satisfactorily, allow me to say goodbye-i love you-that sort of thing. On the other hand, I dont want living dreading the day that i will cease to exist, but i suppose, if it were really necessary, I could live with the dread, and somehow put it out my mind.

Speaking about dread, a side question here... why do humans dread death? And don't tell me you're not afraid of it. Its really easy to say that now, but imagine, if you were facing death and I mean death in THE FACE; there is this inherent human reaction of being scared out of your pants, and just freezing on the spot. (Just a few days ago I was almost killed by a bugger in a speeding car so I know). Even if one WANTS to die, I don't believe all the stories I hear about that person facing it unflinchingly. Basically, what makes us so scared of death?

I think that humans have this need to exist. We were created/evolved (pick one) with this need to exist. One evidence that its almost as if it's inbuilt into us; is this invokation of the hormonal "fight or flight" response when one is threatened (pupils dilate, heart pumps faster and more, lungs get more O2 etc). This instinctive reaction to preserve one's own life is so great that sometimes it is acheived at the cost of another human's life.

Honestly, I'm really fasinated by it.

I get your point, but thats warped IMO. I don't live to die. I don't need death to motivate me, same way I don't need a dog running at my heels to chase (i.e. court) the girl I love.

Soka-chan · 2006-04-17, 12:54

I'm a very optimistic person, so it surprised me when this thread made me realise that death is the thing that motivates me the most.You can have all the love and friendship and those things that you want, but in the end, the only important thing is what you have accomplished.I'm obsessed with this, I think about it at least once every day.

I'd have to say that death is important to me because of this obsession, but it's not something I think about in itself.I'm healthy, eat good, have a healthy family and I never smoke or do dangerous things.I only drink, and usually moderately.I fear death beacuse I have to do many things before going forever.

Seeing the many things I wanna do, and the stress that overcomes me when I realise I'll never have enough time to do every single thing, imagine what it'd be for me if I knew the time and day of my death!!!No way!!!I want to enjoy life as it comes or as I search for it, but not pressured because time's out.

Humarl · 2006-04-17, 19:51

Well really death is unavoidable we all will have to face it sooner or later
but you shouldn't think about it, just live your days to the fullest

Syaoran · 2006-04-18, 06:19

I don't want to die. Actually I want to go back in time 10 years and stay like that for ever ^^

Orichi · 2006-04-18, 06:33

Death is simply a necessary step in order to support life.
The one is bound to the other, and cannot exist alone.

Whether or not there is an afterlife, who knows.
Personally, l don't believe in god, or a similar figure.
I believe we created an afterlife to comfort the families of those that die.

When we die, I believe that's it, the game's over, there's nothing more.
However, I must admit that reincarnation is an interesting idea
and makes more sense than an afterlife (like Heaven or Hell).

Do I know the answers about death, NO. However my reasons work for me.
Philosophers have been debating this and the meaning of life, since the start.
I do however believe that if there is an afterlife, it won't matter whether or not I believe in God to get in.
Also, if there is an afterlife, I don't think any religion has it described correctly, I mean how could they?

DeathStrike · 2006-04-20, 14:32

i want to go back a few years in time. be a kid forever. im a senior in hs and i look around and the world is going to be a harder place. college doesn't seem like it'll be fun

Bracken33 · 2006-04-20, 16:22

I am not afraid of death but of dying (does that make sense in english?). I really fear the pain of a long time illness for example.

I assume that after someone has died there is simply nothing. I imagine it is similar to the state before we were born, nothing.... . I do not believe in an afterlife. I do not fear the nonexistence of one.
I am ready to go, and I could go every day.
I am not suicidal, but a bit indifferent. It is hard to explain, if you are not me
