they say the only way to judge if something is alive is if it fears its death, and that is true,

I take it you've never freesolo'ed huh? eh. Regardless, there are multiple ways to face death that don't involve oppressing dark skinned people.

I have a big fear of death. I dont want to die because I dont know exaclty what is going to happen. What if there is 2 lights and I go into the wrong one? Then what? I just tell myself Im going to live forever and move on.

dude, once again, there is a whole seperate section for politics, go there and start your own thread, dont think your post is relevant coz u use the word death in it, and once again, unless you were in the mid east, or actually have a very close family member living in the mid east, you know absolutely nothing about what is going on there, it is easy to watch the news and read bullshit online while your safe in your little bubble,

also, resinate, just wanna appologize for posting this completely irrelevant post here, i hate it when ppl hijack threads, i will not post another offtopic post here,

Its so trippy though. We've lived with our conscience our whole life thinking that we'd die with it but would be able to tell the difference between life and death once our brains and hearts stopped working? If you say we can't then in otherwords, we won't know when we die because we wouldn't be alive to be able to recognize being dead. You will realize you're dying but I don't think we'll know when we're actually dead. You're right though once we're dead we're gone, thats the end of life.

When I said nothingness is nothingness I meant nothingness doesn't exist because we don't know it doesn't exist. We're cut off from reality so feelings like fear and concern doesn't exist anymore. So what is there to worry about when you won't even feel the normal emotions we do when we're alive and breathing?

i dont know...i dont like to think about death or dying..the whole thing scares me...but it is nice to see you res...

Theres nothing to be scared of when even the emotion of fear doesn't exist when you're dead lol. I dunno, I guess the fact of being totally disconnected from reality in all ways possible makes death less scarier. I mean the only way we can feel fear is if we are conscious. How do you feel this if you're gone? That's why it's not so scary or hard to believe that when you die nothing else comes after. If you don't know what after is how can you be afraid of it? The only reason death is scary to most, I believe is because they are so attached to reality. That's probably why tripping is so...scary, losing touch with reality and going to another place so to speak. Just let go and accept it :D.

I think fearng death is like fearing yourself. As long as you're alive you'll always be there, so why get worked up over it. It's like a journey into the unknown.

I have alot of fun with journeys into the unkown.

But it goes by quick

In terms of human existence and the history of the world, our lives are VERY short.

70-80 years ain't shit in the grand scheme of things. Live every day with a ferocity that will make those years memorable.

i know in the grand scheme of things life in inconsequential but life is the longest thing that we will personally ever expirience

I think people say life is short because when you really take the time to honestly look at where you're at you will think..damn, where did that time go? I mean I can remember some shit as if it was yesterday and I thought some good times would never end. But these past years seem to have went by so fast.

yeah, time does seem to speed up when you get older, hell ive only got 8 days till i turn 17 and months go by fast as hell.

How do you know? :o

And if you think about it, death is far longer of an experience than life itself. Eternity, now THAT is long.

But death is not an experience if you have no conciousness of it.

That's where the arguements start as far as what happens after death . .

For all we know, we could very well be aware of what's going on. We need body and soul to live, but maybe when we die, our body is the only thing that goes away, leaving our soul to roam, still aware.

Everything's an experience anyways. ~

Resinate, your second post says it all , LoL I love it man.. But.. I believe in a higher being for sure,mother nature if anything. But the fact is ,like you said, all the references you hear about death,and heaven ,and a afterlife. Science has come so far, it is just hard for me to believe, I think that you die,and thats that,lifes over,fade to black.. Stay high as hell everybody ,specially on this topic,lol . I love you all ,peace.

i dont believe in an afterlife, there is no proof of one. just my two bits

I never said you did believe in an afterlife, but even so, you rotting in the ground for thousands of years is still longer than one's life. Lol, I'm done wit this thread. Death ain't my cup of tea.

death amuses me

It's the breathing.. He went in his sleep, but after years of cancer BS.. Finally, he gave up.. He fell asleep and an hour later, the death growl thingy.. It looked kindof peaceful, but the sound was ICE cold.. Colder than ice.. Shivering.. When you hear that sound, you know the person is dead.

I watched my grandfather die in much the same way when I was 8. Pale, asleep, and the soft hiss of a final breath. There wasn't much fanfare.

We talk about souls, but as far as I know, and as far as science tells me, when your body ceases to function and your brain is a dead hunk of meat, whoever you were is gone.

Of course I'm fascinated by the idea of a soul, by the idea of an afterlife. I just can't let myself take that irrational leap.
