What are your thoughts on death. Sorry to get morbid but two young girls passed away at work in a few month span and it gets u thinking. I do beleive in something greater when we leave here. I know many feel it’s like a candle being snuffed out. What say You
I've recently lost a few friends, typically things I don't bring up on this site as certain folk here have an attitude towards me where I don't feel like sharing such information because of what might be the response to that.
Death is a scary thing, but everyone has to do it. I guess it's a bit like sky diving for the first time only nobody that has done that before can come back and tell you what to expect. People worry quite a bit about it and hell self preservation is one of the main driving forces in the human spirit so obviously you're going to worry about death, but there's nothing you can do it's coming if not today some day in the future.
Might be morbid to look at it that way, but in order to live life to the fullest you have to appreciate the idea that you're on borrowed time as it is.
That's why living and appreciating the 'now' is important. Focus on now, not the future or past.
Sorry to hear about your friends Ka Bong.
Thanks man. We all lose people close to us, it's important to take the time and let them know what they mean to you before it's too late. That said, you cannot live in fear of today being the last chance, you've got to live in the excitement of the moment you're blessed with.Quote:

Regret can be a hard thing. My partners mum past away a few years ago and we were planning to visit that very weekend, hadn't for quite a while. To this day I know she regrets not visiting more often.
It's not her fault, just the prison that life for the working class has become.
Muhammad PBU. said "you should live in this world as if you are already dead"
so that's how I live and that's how I do all this silly shoot-from-the-hip stuff without fear of consequences
Always had a hard time believing a person just 'ends'. Know what I mean. The mind heart and soul of an individual cannot simply be tethered to heartbeat. Death observed has to be a factor in how we perceive it upon ourselves? The eventuality of it and randomness can mess with you overthinking it. A 10 year old dies of cancer and a 90 year old dies when some drunk crosses into oncoming traffic. That's just messed up.
I am scared
Don't be scared. Listen to good song, listen to someone interesting, write a poem. You have nothing to fear.Quote:

The worst part is likely the prelude to dying, but the dying itself, I don't think that is to be feared. Life itself is the suffering and if you can handle that, then what is death? It's an end to the suffering.
It’s not that I’m scared of death, I’d just rather not be there when it happens
Random or programmed ;)Quote:

It was very intense but I am not sure if it was an NDE or some kind of dream or my neurons firing strange cause I was knocked out. Damn ive only told a few people that. It was a very memorable calming experience that I don’t know what it really was. I still think of it on occasion
By the way, that is a 100% true story
