I Feel Like I Have So Much To Accomplish Before I Die , But I See So Many Lifes Cut Short Behind Some Dumb Shit Or Just Cruelty .... Im Like Maybe I Wont Make It .... But I Know There Is A Better Place After
you shouldnt fear something you cant control or avoid.
This is a good question...
People like me, we never think of actually dying until the moment people ask this same question and then that stab of fear comes in.
I hope when I die it's peaceful(like most people wish) and I hope I'm not laying on my death bed with 100 coulda, shoulda, woulda's on my heart. I wish and hope I accomplish, experience, enjoy, and fulfill most of my dreams and aspirations I have set and will set for myself. I think its a shame to know your at your end and you have more sad than good times.
I hope I'm not alone, I hope I have a family and friends that can celebrate my time here ending in a great way that I would enjoy.
I wish my funeral to be a going away celebration. I hope there is no reincarnation, because I don't want to do it all over again, I want to go wherever and be at peace.

If I had my preference, I'd meet death in bed sleeping or having sex, no sudden, violent endings...but by the same token, no lingering illnesses.
I don't really fear death, anymore. I'm just intrigued about what happens to your consciousness...awareness, as and after you die. I've been aware of my surroundings, this world, since the early 1960's. It was as if the world didn't exist before this time, and I wonder will it cease to exist after I die?
As a child, I held the idea that when you died, you could look down on your fam & friends,but the older I get, the more I think that's just wishful thinking. I don't believe in heaven and hell or reincarnation, so this is it, for better or worse, in my reality.

I think about death and the afterlife often. I know that there is something after you die, not saying its heaven or hell because those are arbitrary terms, but I don't believe you (as in your essence or spirit) dies when your body does.
I do fear dying. I fear dying painfully. I fear dying before I have children or accomplishing goals I've set for myself. I fear not leaving my footprint... But I do NOT fear death itself... Only two things in life are inevitable - death & taxes...

WELL SAID CLEO
LD, interesting you bring this up. It touches on what I we briefly discussed in the chat room yesterday about long-term investments (money, resources etc) towards a 'future' that's not guaranteed. My life philosophy is live your life in and for the present. The notion of stashing away resources, today, to cash out on (for your retirement or even your kids, family, whatever ...) is mad presumptuous IMO. Like I said, i'm not anti-future, I'm just pro-present.
So, I don't really fear death in terms of the fear of losing the joys of the material world.- For me, it's more of a fear of the unknown. Fear of no longer being with the people I love.
Maybe its not even fear per-se, but anxiety.
The analogy I like to use is:
Of the 'volume' of the life you have in the limits of your time on earth, maximize the component you have complete control of - [depth of life] Live purposefully. The [Length/width] are not entirely up to you.
After that, whatever happens happens. Fuck it.

I've said this countless times, I don't know where I got this from, but it's always stuck with me:
I'm leaving this world the same way I came into it. Screaming, confused, and covered in someone else's blood.
Other than that, I don't "fear" death. I've learned to deal with the deaths of people close to me. Death: it happens, you cope with it, mourn, then get on with your own life.
I wouldn't want someone to cry for years on end because I'm dead, either.

I know it is inevitable but the only thing i can do is to leave memories of me in this world. Some may be good and some may be not so good but i will try to enjoy every moment i spend here on this earth.
I hate funerals and i now only attend those of close friends or family members because the hypocrisy i see at funerals leaves me hollow sometimes.
I do not know what lies beyond that door but while i am on this side i will enjoy what i have while i have it.

I have been thinking about death a lot lately...guess cause I have had dreams about a couple of my friends that have passed.
Also,I'm hosting our family reunion this weekend,and it will be the first big event without my mother being there.
So.....it's been on my mind.I'm hoping to live long enough to see my youngest grown.

I'm ready to be reincarnated as a jungle tiger.
Death sucks. Not looking forward to it. Wonder what happens after. Wanna live forever.
I see death as a long peaceful sleep. You only sleep until it is your time to be reborn.
I'm not rushing it, but I'm not afraid for when it decides to come. You can't run from it, just hope that it's pleasant and embrace it.

I'm new to SOL, so I would just like to pay my respects to all the vets and mods.
Greetings and salutations.
