Death Curiosity?

[PainTrain]

does anyone else feel this way? do you ever feel curious about what will happen when you die? this feeling has overwhelmed me as of late.

there is an old saying, I first heard it from the metallica music video, "one"


"every man faces death alone"



Do you ever wonder?

[tulipangel]

I think everone has this thought once or twice. Its natural I think! I could be off!
I think that there is a heaven! If you "pass" you go! If you fail, you get sent back to earth to try again! Everyone has different thoughts! No one thought is right and no one thought is wrong. Its what you believe deep down! Think positive! :bouncybou

[PainTrain]

I agree! I'm just curious as to what everyone thought. I mean, most people just tend to live life day by day, but have you ever really given serious though to what will happen when you die?

Tommorow is promised to no one.

Yes. When I die I hope to be OLD! Very OLD! I hope that I go somewhere nice! I hope that if I have kids they dont hurt (even though they would)! I hope that my grandchildren to come and their children hear crazy stories of old grandma falling on the ice in the winter and being carried on planes screaming as a child! I just hope when its my time, I go in my sleep and I go to my heaven which will be filled with twinkies and dr.pepper and no matter how much i eat and drink I will look like Pam Anderson hahaha! Yes I have given this thought!

Nope, not at all. My high school sweetheart and fiance~the first man to love me unconditionally died mountain climbing when I was 19~he was 22. No one my age had ever experienced death of someone our age. I suffered alone and it was hell. I've lost 9 friends since graduating high school to death~crossing over will be the best gift ever...

I'm curious, but not so much so that I'm eager.

I thought about it when I fisrst was in combat, then I realized, I would die, no stopping that. I, personally am sure were I will go. I have several friends that were my age and younger that are all dead now, which is odd, as I am only 30. I decided long ago to worry about how well I live, not how and when I die, too morbid for me. I prefer to enjoy what I have. It is more fun that way.

That aside, I've had similar experiences to those of Steph. I lost an older brother to a freak accident, I've lost good friends. I certainly don't fear it.

[isabeau]

having lost babies and both parents.. i certainly hope there is something beyond death. it would be fantastic to see them again one day. and i'm pretty sure i will. i don't constantly think about it, but like after dad died, right then at that moment, i wished to die to be with him again. but that thought quickly passed.

ps steph hon i'm so sorry.

[milagros317]

I'm in no hurry to find out. :p

Death used to fascinate me when I was younger, but I've grown comfortable with its inevitability by now....

As for what happens afterward, it seems like a moot point. There is no way to be sure if there is an afterlife and no way to explore such a possibility. For all practical purposes, death is the end and nothing more.

I too used to think about it when i was a kid, but now, most times, it just seems that i completely forgot that life has an ending, probably from all the worries from everyday life. But this will always be the greatest mistery to Man, unravelled only in one's mind. I like to think that good people shall receive something for having led an honorable life, not like a reward, cause when one helps another, he shouldn't expect anything in return. But there has to more than life then just this, something beyond death... I was hoping.

Death is a natural part of life. It is a neverending cycle. The body returns to the earth to help bring new life. That is the way of nature.

But what of our conciousness, the very energy that makes us live. Where does it go? It is a scientific fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. The energy that powers life, I believe, also returns to the earth. How, I cannot fathom. But somehow, that energy is used again to create new life, new conciousness. That energy is all around us, in the air, the water and the ground.

Just a theory of mine. If there is any truth to it, it would explain why we have memories of places we've never been, thoughts of past incarnations even ghosts. Like I said, it's just my thoughts.

[Sultrybrunette]

I look at it as I will finally get the rest I dont get alive. I am looking forward to it. No more dealing with the bullshit of life. Not afraid of it in the least.

Please tell me, you are not serious about that. you're just in a bad mood, right?

Death is as much a part of life as birth it, its a cycle. Some say that is the reason for religion, that it helps answer\give meaning to life\what happens when you die. Its normal to think of death, i would actually go on a limb and say its abnormal to not think of death\your own mortality at all\ever

No, I am very serious. Thats exactly how I view it. I will not bring it on myself.....already tried it once and it didn't work......but when the time comes it will not bother me in the least.

Some say that when you die, you return to the earth only to be reborn in someone else.
Some say that when you die your body returns to the earth and your soul journeys to either heaven or hell depending on what you were like in life.
Some believe that death is when your soul becomes ready to hatch from its shell and ascend to a new plane of existence.
I tend to believe that when you die you go to a place where you are happy.
This would for me be where all my friends and family will join me. Its where i can go through everything in my life and replay it how i want and see what would have happened in the future if i changed it.
Its where you can choose to either be reborn or remain with your loved ones forever.
So to each their own fate and to each their own destiny. Lets all see where its goes.

I have always found the reincarnation\rebirth stories as interesting, i dont believe in them but interesting.

I like the part where you say you can go thru your life and replay it, reminds me of a devildriver song

"I dreamed I died, ended up at the gates of Heaven
Greeted by a man Saint someone, said how's the
ride son?
It's been alright, at times a little rough, why am I here?
You did alright, lived a little dark and that's alright

'Cause we made the darkside and the rightside is to have no fear, no fear

My whole life flashed in front of me
I saw
everything that I was and what I had done
Even let me look back on some good times for a little fun
Yes, a little fun
And
then I heard damn boy you done good
Did the every little thing that you could
And then I heard damn boy you done good
Damn
good"

I'm more afraid of being old, than of death. I look young and have a youthful attitude but just don't want to get to the point of needing help.
I'd like to think something special happens but being a realist, I just think we become one with the ground, game over. * Pac-Man end game sound *

I've lost 2 young cousins ( they were brothers, different years ) and could count on every finger and toe and still not have enough for the loss of former classmates, before I was 30. So, I don't believe in fate but more, sh*t happens to everyone with no rhyme or reason.
Views change and maybe mine soon will, but for now...
