Here's a question I've been questioning myself well...since forever. Most of us here are all still considered young, wether we be 10, 20, or even 30. We all know that sooner or later we'll die. It's something we all fear I guess, so most of us prefer to not think of it so often. But take the time to think about it NOW. What do YOU think will happen when we die? I'm not asking for religious answers such as going to hell, heaven, or getting reborn. I'm talking about how it would feel. Would everything just black out, or would you just feel like nothing's happened and continue life inside your imagination?

I think that no one knows so there is no point in discussing what you randomly think will happen.

I'm not afraid of dying either. I won't enjoy the process, but I have no fear in death itself.

Like Aleco said, I'm not really afraid of death, but the process of it, you know the whole 'bloody and violent death and destruction' bit, that kind of freaks me out. Also, I guess death is one of those things where you can stand on the sidelines and say it is no big deal, but we really have no call to judge it until we have experienced it firsthand (which I can fairly safely assume most of us have not).

i think fear of death is something that everyone worries about sometime in their lives, but that it should be something that everyone can get over. think about it... chances are you'll either: 1. die in your sleep B. be hit by a car (or something like this, instant death) or 3. have an excrutiating painful death. in the first two, you wont know it happened. if you die in your sleep, your dead. you more than likely wont realize it and wont have time to think about it or fret over it. the same goes for the second scenario... you likely wont see it coming or will only have a split second to think about whats happening. you wont have hours or days beforehand to think "wow, i'm goin to die. oh noz, i'm skerd." it will just happen, and be done with. now, for the third one, it gets a little bit more complicated. cancer, heart disease, all that stuff is a very painful way to end a life. in that case, your mind will have time to think about whats going to happen and will more than likely cause a great fear to come to the person. however, they are going to die. basically what i'm saying... dont be afraid to die. its going to happen. we dont know when or where or how, but its going to happen. you cant go through life worrying about it.
as far as what happens... i'll shy away from giving you my real point of view and give you what i think would happen if i wasnt religious. basically, i think it will just be an almost instantanious black out, and then nothing. i've heard (correct me if this is wrong) that scientists have proven or seen (or somethinged) that when people die they go into an almost immediate dreamlike state very very briefly, ie the whole "life flashing before your eyes" thing. but after that, nothing. |

Then it always raises the question:
Which is the best, and which is the worst, way to die? (Unnaturally, meaning someone killed you). So, if you were going to be executed and could choose your death, what would it be? I think the best way to die would be by freezing to death. They say that right before you die you feel all warm and happy. Of course Lethal Injection wouldn't be bad either, since you'd be asleep. The worst way to die would be burning. No question, although aphyxiation (drowning) would be pretty bad also. But no, burning would be a slow, excruciatingly painful death. |

Im really not afraid of dying,even if you come up with the worst way to die. I really couldn't care,like if a gun was pointed at my head I'd probably scare the dude shitless and make him feel bad for wanting to shoot me in the first place unless he's a psycho path and does it anyway...like what's the big deal?

Crucifixion is actually one of the worst ways to die in the world. It's like being tortured to death.
As for what I think will happen, I'm religious, so I believe in an afterlife. How it will feel is beyond me. But I don't fear death. In fact, if I died in my sleep tonight, I don't think I would mind, even though there's so much I want to do on Earth. Heaven, j0. |

i am no longer afraid of dying. i used to be real afraid of dying but now i just dont care anymore, but thats cause certain things happened in my life. i think it just depends on what happens in your life, if nothing is going so good, you dont really care if it all ends. But that doesn't mean i crave a long painful death.

Well, I think it depends on the way you die.
If your heart stops, I believe your conciousness goes on for a few more seconds, and you feel all your muscles relax, or tense up, or whatever happens, and then...blackness. But if your brain explodes, let's say, then your conciousness doesn't last any longer, and I think you are just dead. Now, I'm not sure about the whole spirit thing, but that might change it all. I don't know, I could be wrong, I could be right, but I think it's possible.

Well if you do live on like some people believe then better for us. If you don't and you just POOF after you die then whatever. You probably don't even realise your dead when you do just stop. You can't come back and be all like WOW IM IN " HEAVEN " EVERYONE HURRY UP AND DIE!!!!! It's not like that. Just wait til it's your turn then you'll know. or like I think you die you die and it's over you just poof you dont even know your dead cause you had no time to die slowly and be all like " I think im dieing...or I know im dieing " anyways.........................

Written by Mal as Emo Kid:
I've already died a thousand deaths, over and over again everytime I think about it, like a opening a would with a knife made out of salt. Six years and two minutes ago today, she walked out of the door and out of my life. She was the only one I ever loved, ever, ever and her eyes are the stars that light the way to my soul. I've already died a thousand deaths, over and over every time I think of my father. Oh god, I hate my dad so much, he's such a jerk. He grounded me for naught, and I cried, and I hate him so much, and theres so much pain. I like to shop at Hot Topic, because they understand me and help me ease the pain by selling me ridiculously overpriced items and laughing at me behind my back. I bought a shirt that said "Unique" on it, and it was black with red lettering, just like all the others on the rack. It made me feel good. Now I'm going to buy spikey bracelets and listen to Linkin Park. My opinion on death? Too late, I'm already gone... *AHEM* Thank you, you can make donations to me somehow... I'll be here till thursday. Aw, fuck, where will I go after that? I'll be here for a while. Mal
