    Everybody has to die *crys*

    If you think of death, you must hate yourself lol
    If you think of what would death would be like after you die, your wasting your life thinking about it :p

    A lot of people think about death. Most art, philosophy, music, and literature is inspired by death. Death is constantly a topic in the news, sitcoms, even comedy sketches - most people just don't realize it.

    People who say death isn't important are in some sort of denial - dying is one of the biggest transitions you will ever make, it will be one of the most important moments of your life. At least this is what I believe.

    Personally I don't think that means you should obsess over it. If you are searching for meaning you won't find it in death. Don't listen to me though, I am probably the most morbid person on the planet lol. Worrying about death has caused me a lot of problems. I am chronically ill and I go to the hospital a lot. I have a stress disorder called Depersonalization/ Derealization which basically makes me feel like I'm detached from my body when I start thinking too much. If I could change one thing I wouldn't spend so much of my time thinking about things I can't control. So basically, the advice I would give to you is to try to do whatever it takes to take your mind off of it, because you won't find any answers contemplating it for hours. Maybe you can find some consolation in spirituality if you aren't religious.

    Life is a 3 dimensional projection of soul. So when you die you do not loose anything, you become infinite dimensional.

    Death doesn't exist, it's just the absence of life.

    Death is inevitable. There is no point thinking for arguing about inevitable.
    Live the life until you die, and be careful to avoid unnecessary accidental death.

    Not normal. No point thinking about it too much - it'll happen when the time is right. Also no point worrying over it - nothing in life is certain except for death and taxes (as Benjamin Franklin said).

    Most people never looked death "in the face". These guys have:

    "There are people that talk about light, there are people that talk about floating above,
    there are people that talk about warmth and love, I didn’t feel any of that, I felt none of that.
    I felt untold terror. It is very easy to be an atheist when you’re successful, but it’s very difficult
    to be an atheist when you’re lying on your death bed...."

    quote from a video from someone that actually experienced what most of us
    just speculate about.

    As close as you get to a trip to Hell and back without dying.

    We were all born to die and it is inevitable, so accept your life as it is now and make the best of it.

    This Life is to prepare for hereafter...

    I have a firm belief there is a real life later on after death. We are not meant to die. Our bodies are made to keep trying to survive. Look at the millions who cheat death without even trying. Some go through some amazing amounts of pain and suffering over sometimes years and somehow survive to continue living.

    So many older ones are told at a certain stage of ill-health that their days are numbered for one reason or another. What happens? They live for another few years, another decade or even longer in some situations. Why? The body can not help it. It naturally wants to survive.

    My father in law was an example of that. 4 and half years ago the family got the call to start gathering around because this old man of 84 years his body was shutting down and could not cope with the ill health. The family gathered, but before they entered the hospital, the doctor informed him about his pending death to come in the next day or two. His reply to the doctor was said quite sternly "I beg to differ! I will tell you when I am good and ready to die!". Again, that was 4 and a half years ago.

    Why is it that our cells continue regenerating up until our 20's? Why do they stop then and not later? Questions that doctors and scientists can not answer. They know how but not why.

    Food for thought.

    Col :)
