I try to keep a good relationship with death. It's all part of it, you know :shrug:

I liked Qman's take on it.

I don't think it's that hard.:shrug:

It is sensible to fear death, that is what keeps us alive, it's instinctual to be scared of death, it's completely natural. Certainly if your death is imminent due to a terminal illness or old age, it is healthiest to come to terms with that and that is not an easy thing to do because it is a part of human nature.





It's not like I go looking for it, but I believe fearing something which is inevitable, to be a waste of energy, energy I could be putting into something meaningful.

I think it's so easy for people to say 'oh it doesn't bother me' but I bet your bottom dollar if they were faced with their own death right now they'd soon change their tune. When we feel alive and healthy, and especially when we're young, death seems so abstract to us we feel as though it'll never really happen. We're just sort of dimly aware. It isn't tangible. But then you get those moments when you really stop and think about it, that awful sinking pit in your stomach. That's fucking scary.




I am more scared of a half life; car accident >>> c4 spinal cord injury >>> paralysis or stroke. After a bad trip, I felt like I was dying, it was pretty rough, and the best way I can describe it; felt like a black hole ripped open through my internal reality. It felt like a complete psychosis and loss of my reality dipping in and out of consciousness. Wild visual and auditory hallucinations. 

Quote:

I have recently been reading a lot about people who have experienced consciousness after they're clinically dead before being revived back to life, and people's experiences seem to differ dramatically, possibly depending on what they believe in when they're alive. However, these 'after death' experiences could just be the brain hallucinating and taking longer than the rest of the body to shut down. Part of me thinks that nobody ever really dies per se, we just keep coming back as different beings, other humans or animals, as everything is so connected, maybe we HAVE to experience life from every different perspective in the world or even universe. I think we just maybe keep going on and on and on, but as totally different beings, from totally different perspectives, if that makes any sense at all. Like you have no memory of your previous self, you just wake up as a new person or a new animal or something, which I think is a pretty cool idea, but also kind of terrifying considering the amount of pain and suffering there is.




A buddy died. He said he went into an abyss. Just darkness. Then, he came back. He is gone again.


--------------------
The light of wisdom is driving away the darkness. Look at the ground. Now you can see your own shadow. If you are scared by the shadow that follows you, just remember, wherever shadows fall, light is always nearby.

My point was...it's easy to speculate that you wouldn't be scared, but if someone was at you right now with a gun to your head, how do you know you wouldn't be shit scared? It would be unnatural not to be shit scared, like going against your natural instinct. Logically, of course, if there is nothing you can do about it, the logical path would be 'to let go' but people don't thrive and survive that way. The adrenaline would start pumping and you'd very likely experience intense fear.

If you had already been shot and were laying on the ground bleeding out, you might be surprised at your lack of fear.

I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

It would be with regard to my initial analogy.

It is what it is. A poem i recently wrote can elaborate a bit more i think:


Fortunate are the dead
Devoid of the voices
Inside of their head...
Their struggle
Has long since passed
Along with the pain
That they had amassed...
No more grief...
No more sorrow...
Such a relief
There is no tomorrow...
Oh, how I envy them
The spirits, so numb
I'll fit right in
When I finally succumb...
Don't get me wrong,
Life can be great
But I'll sing my swan song
If I'm unable to sate...
'Cause it can also be shit,
A deplorable fate
So easy to just quit
And collapse,
Under the weight

My feelings exactly. One is not completely sure of ANYTHING in their lives, except dying. So why be afraid of it? I am afraid of a painful death, but not death itself.

I don't necessarily fear death, but dying itself.  A peaceful way would be ideal.  IDK about having my head cut off (even by guillotine) as I feel like disconnecting the brain stem from spinal cord might short-circuit whatever the death experience is (prevent neurotransmitters from interaction).

I often fear the eternal repercussions of my mistakes, especially the ones that can't be fixed- I often stress out about them and  carry regret around.  I evaluate my life and attempt to accept me for me based on my entire life's experiences, down to my oldest memories- which have shaped both my bad and good side.  I think I've overcome the bad side by acknowledging its exitence and accepting that I wish not to entertain it, but I understand it is there.  Everything the sun shines on casts a shadow.

There is no such thing as death.
I think either the universe or some transcendent other laughs when it hears some human beings think that biological death is the end. That's what your biology wants you to think and your biology will deceive and trick you however it can to keep the organism alive because that's its only job it's not there to make you happy. This is where the ego comes in.

"There is no death.... thinks biological death is the end...."

So do you experience death or not?  Cause experiencing a biological death is not the same as there not being death.  They are mutually inclusive.  Basically, you would have to have a death experience in order to have the biological death occur, whether it is the "end" or not.

The other way as in... you have to have a biological death in order to have a death experience?

No shit, that doesn't mean there is no such thing as death.

No I'm saying you can have a biological death without a death experience.
