Strange thoughts
Posted on: December 29, 2011, at 02:53:01am

Okay, so I've been having these weird thoughts lately (no, it's not a KH rip off) and they've been really bothering me lately, since I think I'm becoming emo. I know a few of the signs (like actually cutting myself is one, have a scar on my arm as proof) and suicide notes is another (which I haven't resorted to, thank god). But this whole idea about life and death - it hardly makes any sense to me. I mean, sure, life is precious and sacred, I get that part. I just don't see how death can be any different. Think about it: NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH. And this thought has been bugging me for some time - weeks, maybe months, and I'm still trying to find an answer.

I'm usually not this open about things, but let's be honest here, folks. Has there ever been at least one time in your life when all you were interested in is trying to figure out what happens after all that funeral, burial/cremation stuff? Also, while we're on that subject (i'll get back to the main topic in a minute - don't smash your keyboards like that german kid) have you noticed that whenever a family member dies and people hear about it, almost everybody involved or known that person GOES to that funeral, including people that disliked or even hated or even had agrudge against the already deceased? And have you noticed that whenever they nice stuff about the deceased, often times, they'll make shit up? "Oh, he was an asshole. But a well-meaning asshole."

Back to the main subject: Curiosity has always filled my head about what happens after death. Remember that whole "To Be or Not To Be" speech from Hamlet (to those of you who have read it?) He talks about what death might be like to him. (No, this is not a suicide passage; it just concerns with natural curiosty to those of you who are thinking or might be thinking that this is a suicide passage, so I'm still gonna be alive for a LONG while after this) But what does it all mean? Is it just a passage or speech? Or doe it have meaning and definition? To those of you who have read Hamlet, it means something, and I can honestly say this to you, in a way, I sort of feel the same about life, but not in the way Hamlet viewed it. I mean, does death even exist AT ALL? And if so, where is it? And what is its purpose if it has one at all? (the answer/s you come up with are yours to either share or keep to yourself; I don't care which and I don't judge that quickly)

And speaking of purpose, what am I even here for? I've been looking for an answer for years ever since I first asked myself that, and so far, I've come up with nothing. Do I have a purpose? And where am I even going with this? Honestly, I don't know. But I can tell you this: Not asking questions gets you all dazed and confused - more than you'll EVER know, and I've learned this from experience. That's why I ask myself a lot of things, most questions I don't even have an answer for. I'll probably continue this some other time, but for right now, this is where I'll stop. If you have any questions about what I've been thinking, PLEASE let me know.

Hm... that is something very difficult to comprehend. The literal meaning of "life" is basically to exist as still being able to breath. As for "death" is one still exist, but not breathing. Suming up, a person organism wh

... a person's organism who is still moving and still processing, it means that the person is still alive, but if not, then the person is dead. I've read Hamlet before and the quote when Hamlet said "To be or not to be" basically means he was infering himself whether he should deserve to die or live on. There also another solution to it, but no one can actually know the truth unless the answer was told by the creator or writer. As for your passage, it's really something that people could careless about. I truthfully think there are no solution to your thoughts, but if there were to be one, it would just be one right answer. But yes, death does exist precisely because people die and think about the death, that's why it exist.

Also, death can be painful yet not. Of course, there goes to being a masochist (one who enjoys or love feeling the pain whether it is mentally or physically). Many people wouldn't consider about death since many are trying to accomplish something in their life before death. Another reason would be fearing of death, very common. It is all right to assume that many people are scared of death and so they don't think about it because it is something naturally known to the world. Truthfully said, we, the humanity doesn't even know why we feel the fear of death, its just that it is instinctively given to you at your birth. Now here is the question, have you ever felt fear of something? answer honestly or don't answer if you choose not too. If you do, think it as the same as "death" and sometimes even "life".

I've had all these thoughts already and I'm 16 D: The only thing I have told myself is that life is bliss and it's best to not think about those things since life is in the experience and that to not be doing something at all times is a waste of your experience.

i dunno if im going to make u angry or anything i mean cuz i am christian so after death u stay with god and yeah. not that im making u listen or anything u know, im just saying what im thinking okay so LIFE is what ur suppose to treasure its the time when u train urself and enjoy while it lasts while death is like the line to determine whether ur a sinner or not like u go to heaven if ur not and u go to hell if u are and all those depends on ur actions believes commitments the times u lived. so yeah death is not a bad thing and ur not crazy cuz everyone thinks about it and NEVER and this is an order, EVER think about suiciding, got that clear??? so yeah no one even knows what happens but well what can we do now? eventually itll come and we will know by then right? :)

I actually have thanatophobia (the fear of death). I had to talk to a psychologist about it and I've ultimately withdrew to the conclusion that there isn't any point in trying to figure out what happens after you die and what the real purpose of life is simply because no one will ever know.

I ask the question why the afterlife is what is once you do leave this life if you knew what happened. Why did you go to
heaven after death? Why did some one send you down to that fiery pit? Why are you introduced into nothingness? Why did you
ascend to a higher state of consciousness? Why did you live your life over? Why did you get stuck in limbo land? Why did
you start afresh or build on? Why are things the way they are.
The point I'm trying to make is that we will always be questioning something. The more you know, the more you can and will
question. I personally think that life is a stepping stone in an endless pond. But honestly who knows. I got say for you is
times will get better, and if you are truly depressed then you've been like all of us. If you are truly curious about death
then you should join some type of religion where people talk about that kind of stuff.

I remember going into 9th grade being afraid of death and high on life, then halfway through it my depression began and I sort of wished for something, anything to happen like that 1/99999999999999999999 chance that a meteor will hit only me and leave everyone unscathed. The thing is though, you may hope for that one person to try to rob you with a gun and get him to do the unthinkable, but it's one of those moments that you're struck with absolute fear and you quite possibly think twice.
I also found that smoking marijuana has acted as an anti depressant. Not saying you should try it, but try an actual anti depressant, it really does work. no use in thinking these thoughts when you can just be in a good mood all the time.
