Thoughts on death?

[Rixion]

Weird thread but just thought to myself, when I die i'll not exist anymore. I won't be here and it'll be so weird, quite a scary feeling. What'll happen after, is there life after death? What does everyone believe? D:

[David]

i believe there's nothing after death, once you go - you go.
i guess it's a nice feeling for those who do though, comforting maybe? that they believe their lost loved ones are in a good place.
not scared of death either

[MKR&*42]

Don't fear death and don't believe there is (nor want there to be) anything after death.

[Stephen]

tbh all you have to do is think about where you were before you were born... you didn't exist

if you believe in heaven or whatever then I'm guessing you also believe that the earth is flat and that your mum isn't a prostitute

[-:Undertaker:-]

I believe in heaven.

I can't say why, or justify it - I just do.

[dirrty]

i like to have the ability to control of things in my life, but death frightens me the most because it's something that no matter what i do, it'll inevitably happen and i have no clue what will happen once i die. that's mainly why i hope there's an afterlife (whether that be heaven, reincarnation, etc.) because i just hate thinking about not being able to feel, think, sense or exist.

As Dumbledore once said "To the well-organised mind, death is the next great adventure"
I don't really believe in an afterlife so not sure adventure is the right word but I'm not really scared of death. When it happens it happens and it doesn't matter what I do I can't avoid it. I think a good question might be to ask if immortality was an option would you really want it? I sorta like that the natural order of things is that you can't be around forever so you have to make the most of what you've got.

bold - the only downfall of that for me is watching everyone else die, i think i'd take it though tbh

[Jurv]

i wouldn't say i'm scared or worried about death, not yet anyway. i don't tend to think about it much though. as for what happens after you die, i believe that there isn't anything. once your dead nothing exists anymore and you don't have a clue what happens next.

[wixard]

death has never affected me when it comes to my family/friends
i've lost a lot of people in my life and have never gotten upset about it
it happens to everyone at some stage

SAYING THAT, i'm afraid of my own death, as i'm assuming that's me gone for good.

[Absently]

i worry for everyone that i know who personally dies. i would like to believe that something comes after death, but i don't personally entirely believe in it. i would hope that there is something though, it would make me so much happier to know relatives that have passed have gone somewhere nice! i dont want there to be just 'it' and thats all. i would like to believe there is something so much prettier and nicer after death.

[lawrawrrr]

Having spent most of last year reading afterlife myths and things I'm actually fascinated by it now. I've always been quite comfortable with death (thankfully I've not lost that many people close to me), and I suppose in a very weird way I actually look forward to it. I'm not suicidal or anything, it'll just be interesting, aha! I just worry about how it will happen really - I don't want to die in a nursing home unable to care for myself, neither do I want to die tomorrow being hit by a car or something. I guess I'll see eventually!

[dbgtz]

I just see it as an inevitable consequence.

[CigaretteBirdie]

It's a hard question that is. What people think of what happens after death. I personally change my mind all the time. At the moment I have a rough idea - not going to fall for any of the religion *****..after all - why turn a good idea and split it...so that all it does is cause more arguments than good. An idea is much easier to change than a belief..so I guess thats maybe why I go for that kinda thing. I believe something must happen after death..not quite sure how to explain it..but it just seems so hard to believe that once your dead, that's it all over - life..everything. There has to be something surely. Maybe not like what it is now..maybe something totally unexpected that no one has yet thought of and only those who have passed away has met it..I dont know. But I just think something has to happen..:L

I got a phone call 6 days ago off some strange man saying I was going to die in 7 days then start calling me Sidney pffft crazy mother******

na but seriously erm I'm not too fussed. Saying that now when I do die I'd be totally scared but I'd only be scared of pain / leaving my family behind, I'm not too concerned what actually happens to me, more so worry about my family.

[Ekelektra]

It's inevitable. I'm not worried or scared of death, but when I do think about it and feel really, really sad about leaving everything that I enjoy and love behind. I also sometimes wonder about heaven and reincarnation because I hate to think of just simply not existing, but since you can't prove these things we'll just have to see when it happens.

[Eric]

Different religions say different things that will happen when you die. Like buddhists have beliefs in what will happen to you in the next life depends on the bad and good things that you have done in your life, and christians believe in heaven. there are a few theories that people come up with which i dont believe in them. when you die, you die, you can't feel or do anything, you dont exist anymore. so live your life while you have it

[Orobello]

I'm actually really scared of death, I sort of have the belief of an afterlife. Perhaps not so much a heaven or hell, but maybe some sort of another earth, like, Reincarnation sort of thing. Where you cant remember anything.

[Succubus]

I don't usually tend to think of it, but the only thing that worries me is the usual thoughts as in "will it be painful" because no one really want to suffer a very painful death. Apart from that I'm not really worried at all. It's life.

[Cerys]

I suppose that it's such a long time away from me *i hope* that it doesn't bother me yet.

But I'd like to think there's something after. And if there isn't, who cares. I'm not gonna know that there's nothing cos I'm dead. And if there is something then woo I'm glad I believed in something.

IS YOUR TV LEAKING???

Um. I don't really care what happens to me after death, but I really don't want to end up leaving the world having everyone hate me and be glad that I'm gone so I guess I try to make the most of life so I don't end up like Scrooge was going to in A Christmas Carol :S

[geo]

i'm no longer afraid of death and i've always hoped there was a heaven, or something like it, so when you die you're in a good place and things.

weird how the radio was just talking about death and this topic as i posted it wat

[FlyingJesus]

I don't think I will die tbh it seems like one of those things that I'll just never get around to then suddenly I'll be like err why is no-one posting on hxf and realise that it's the year 6840 and no-one else is alive still

No idea what actually goes on with people who do die though, not entirely sure what makes life happen in the first place (like obv electrical charges in the brain making other stuff happen and all that but WHY it doesn't seem like a very natural thing to do at all) so maybe there are souls or some other such things, not really bothered by it though

haha

I'm not really afraid of death or anything, I mean it's gonna happen, it happens to everyone etc. There's no point spending your life worrying about the inevitable.

What happens after you die is such a weird thing to think about, its hard to comprehend where your thoughts and stuff will go, and its so hard to imagine a world where you don't exist.

Weird.

when i was young around 8 years old, I was petrified of death id lie awake thinking of it and my friend had moved to england and i didn't want either of us to die without seeing each other again. im not scared of it now im not scared of it if its old age maybe even illness as long as i don't die a painful or scary death like murder or being hit by some sort of vehicle lol or i die without having my own family die without clearing stuff up forgiving people etc

im not religious but ive grown up with spiritual people and been to spirit circles etc and i can't help but believe it, been to them before anyone close to me died so it's not like i believe cause I WANT to believe. also not religious but there's something about committing suicide that worries me more than dying naturally. idk i believe there's something but at other times i think if there was an afterlife, ive had a few close people to me die and id like to think they look after me or point me in directions but it just doesn't happen. you're really alone in life so idk where they've gone but i don't want to believe its nowhere :(

[Gina]

when i think about this, i get really confused cos like idk its so weird, i still havent got over how theres ppl living on this planet :| i think like when you're gone, you're gone;p but you never know, there could be like an afterlife n i could be mistaken for a duck and then they take me to a special duck one (a)

[Kardan]

I don't think there's anything after death, you just cease to exist - of course I wouldn't mind if I was wrong ;)

[Derrener]

It does scare me. I don't think about death a lot of the time but when I do, I find it really weird that I won't exist any more. It is gonna happen to everyone at some point, hopefully not in the near future.

[The Don]

I think it's the same as before you were born, so non-existent. It does suck and makes you wonder what's the point of doing anything when somewhere down the line it'll all eventually end anyway...

[OldLoveSong]

i dont really think of it, but i do beleive in an afterlife

[Jordan]

I use to be really really scared about dying, especially the thought of knowing that you will eventually lose family and friends. I'm not so much scared anymore and just yesterday someone from the year below me died from something but it just shocked me so much that someone who I knew had died. I don't believe in heaven, but I always feel like maybe we will become something else, no reason why I just feel it every now and again.

[AlexJRiley]

Right now i'd welcome it.

[Toilet]

I'm not afraid of death, I think there is somewhere much better than Earth plane.

[BOOMitsGINA]

Death has affected me when it comes to family as I have lost quite a few close people. I'm not sure what I think about death to be honest with you. I don't know, in a way yes I am scared of it because I don't know what happens next. But I guess I believe in heaven? I like to think the ones close to me have gone to happy place and they are comfortable now or that there may be something after? I haven't got a fixed answer on this as I just have no idea what to think about it.
