What are your thoughts about death and dying? Me? I think the whole thing sounds pretty depressing. Death to me sounds like just suddenly turning off and never turning on again. It's just the thought of not existing scares me. And I know I'm still a young adult and it may be some time till I have to face it, but the fact of facing it when it comes just frightens me. But yeah, I guess we all have to face it someday. What are your thoughts on the subject?

I think it is a natural process of life. Things live things die. Sure it's said, but again, it's inevitable and going to happen. It just sucks when people die so young or from things other than natural causes.

I always thought that death was like moving house.

You're not gone, but you just don't live here anymore.

I used to be really frightened by the fact of not existing anymore, I was scared of not experiencing alot of stuff and missing out.

Now I don't really think about it so much and if it happens it happens I guess.

I'm not religious, not even close to feeling fulfilled in life, death is not something I look forward to.

Haha this puts it oh so well.

I don't think death is the end of reality. Existing in the present is evidence enough for me that I will exist in some form forever. Will I be human? No, probably not. Will I be a ghost? No, I don't think so. Will I even be tangable? Haha I have no idea.

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and in some distant universe sextillions of years from now I'll exist in a new sentient form. I might even resemble a human. Wouldn't that be neat?

Death is okay as long as it happens to me and not someone else.

Death.
It is the balance for life.
It is something we are all bound to the instant we are thrown into this world.
It is the eternal rest I'm going to need after dealing with all of you assholes.

Ahem. It's not something you can change, so it's not something you should even worry about. It's just a constant reminder that makes the time in this life all the more valuable.

I've often wondered what it would feel like to die. But honestly, I just cannot comprehend it. Are you in a state of nothing? How do you explain the "nothing"? I am kind of excited to find out, but scared too.

In my first semester of college I took a course called Thanatos: Death and Dying, which was quite interesting and makes a lot of points about this kind of thing. The subject in general is one that definitely makes you stop and think.

As much of a prick this may make me, avoiding death at any cost is something I plan on doing throughout the course of my whole life. I've come to the conclusion that life is a gift and goddammit, if it gets taken someone is an Indian giver.

you're wrong, without death you'd be immortal like jesus and highlander.

Terrible for other people, since I am aware that they have died. For myself? I can only speak for it now. I think when a lot of people say that they are afraid of death, it isn't what happens after death, but rather the fact that you don't get to live life anymore. It's hard to say that I am scared of being dead, because after all I would be...dead. I don't believe that our perceptions continue after life, but ends when we die.

When a friend died for me it was a bit weird. At first I didn't care at all. Like...I had NO feelings whatsoever on it. After a few days it got really scary just thinking about it. I'm still a littled daunted by knowing people that have died, but I do crazy shit which'll get me killed without having much fear of death.

I had this weird experience yesterday, I went to a theme park and realised what it would be like to die from falling from a great height. Ugh. I'd like to believe that the consciousness doesn't die (or something like David Icke's theory), but I find myself wanting to believe in religion (even though I think it's wrong) just so I believe there is an afterlife. And, of course, I would be going to it.

Upon arriving the attending doctor could find no abnormal physical symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. After spending several hours terrified that his body had been possessed by a demon, that his next door neighbor was a witch, and that his furniture was threatening him, Dr. Hofmann feared he had become completely insane.

I'm not freaked out by death so much as I am by what comes right before death... I always imagine there's this sickening moment of confusion and terror and impotence immediately before your consciousness is snuffed out, and I find that a lot more disturbing than just the idea of not living anymore.
