Are you afraid to die?

[Siniroth]

How do you know? You've never done it before

[Kuya]

Never castrated myself either, etc

[Siniroth]

No but you've done something to damage them at SOME point in your life and you know it would just be worse, whereas almost dying and dying unless you go into cardiac arrest or something can't really be compared

[Kuya]

Are you really doing this?

[Siniroth]

Actually I'm just trying to kill time before I need to take this old shitty desktop to my friend's to replace her older shittier desktop that's broken

[Titanss]

Kuya got hard for a sec there, then dude recognized

[Seanr]

I ain't afraid of death, I'm ready I guess. Not that i wouldn't try to push a gun out of my face or somethin like that if possible, but i'm not paranoid about it.

[thestalkmore]

Absofuckinglutely terrified.

[Kayos]

Not afraid to actually die no. But there being nothing after you die scares the ever living shit out of me.

[Mizango]

Never castrated myself either, etc

^ Fuck that noise.

[Yabby]

I don't care if i die, but i agree with a lot of people it counts on how i go. The faster the better, no clue what i would do in one of those "Saw" things lol.

[Gwynplaine]

Let it be known I'm no fan of pain or suffering, which are usually a part of death, but not the same thing. But no, I'm generally not afraid of death.

Not afraid to actually die no. But there being nothing after you die scares the ever living shit out of me.

Why? That's precisely what makes it dismissible for me. There's quite literally nothing to be afraid of. Living is difficult, but there's nothing to death. It's just like pre-life. Do you remember how much that sucked? Of course not.

[TheTaru]

Don't really care about dying because the Lord shall provide His salvation to me...okay, I can't even type that without laughing a little. I have a much less vague idea of when and how I'll die than most people, and I accepted it a long time ago. I have to admit the one time I've ever been close to death due to my sickness was horrifying, yet comforting at the same time. Ready to die, but not in any hurry to not exist.

"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides." -Carl Sagan

Why did the thread go past here, the fuck is wrong with everyone?


Better question: before you were born, were you afraid that someday you might be alive?

[Acturus]

Better question: before you were born, were you afraid that someday you might be alive?

I wager that many people fear that while they are among the living.

Emily: Take me back -- up the hill -- to my grave. But first: Wait! One more look. Good-bye , Good-bye world. Good-bye, Grover's Corners....Mama and Papa. Good-bye to clocks ticking....and Mama's sunflowers. And food and coffee. And new ironed dresses and hot baths....and sleeping and waking up. Oh, earth,you are too wonderful for anybody to realize you. Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every,every minute?
Stage Manager: No. (pause) The saints and poets, maybe they do some.
Emily: I'm ready to go back.

I think people generally think that you'll be conciously aware of the nothingness, cause they're silly like that

[*Shinzon*]

I think people generally think that you'll be conciously aware of the nothingness, cause they're silly like that

In my case, it's the fear of knowing that you'll be conscious of nothing that scares me. You know until, well you don't. That just literally confuses me to the point where I can't comprehend death in itself. Like I said I'm not scare of dying itself just the fact that there is nothing after.

[Siniroth]

But how will you know you'll be conscious? When I sleep and don't remember my dreams that time doesn't exist for me, I would think it would be akin to that, more than being conscious of the nothingness

[Eratosthenes]

It's like you don't even get to know that you're dead; your consciousness just stops. It kinda blows my mind. Sitting here, still alive, I think it'll be weird to not have that closure, but when I'm dead, I won't be able to care.
