Did the right thing
It's something we all know is coming. We don't know when, we don't know where. We try not to think about it. We ignore many warnings that could lead us to death. But have you ever really thought about it? I mean when your dead...what really happens? I don't wish to throw religion into this, because I think religion was created to help us not think about death as the end. But we all die. Every single one of us. Everyone you know. Your friends, your parents, your love ones. Every single person alive on this planet today, will all be dead in 150 years.

I know most don't think about it. I know most don't want to think about it. And I can see their point. Why think about something like that? Live life to the fullest, because for all we know its the only one you got.

Then of course you have those that don't care. You have those that will respond to this

" i'm invincible"

I understand. It's your way to cope with not thinking about death. You bring in humor to ease the real serious question that is death.

Ever think about your death?

You already did.

On topic, before this all goes downhill, no point bitching about something can't control, is what I think.
 
Nah man.

The technological singularity will occur around 2050, and then we'll have the chance to upload our brains to computers and be immortal.

Just gotta survive until then.
 
OP reminds me of that post on Gamefaqs about FFXIII coming to X360. It calls for a dramatic reading.
 
Yeah, I think about it on occasion, shit sucks. Just cease to be, in any way, shape or form. Don't like to think about it often.

now I need a beer :(
 
I used to think about it alot when I was in college. I took a philosophy class and my mind was shattered. God, Religion, life, everything was turned upside down, it was nuts.

But now I think about it like maybe I am dead, bcuz I think once you die, you wont even know whats going on, i mean you could just be in memory and keep going on (like 6th sense) ish.

Either way when my mind thinks about stuff like, before I was born or after I die, just non existance in general, I cant comprehend it.

Iono, im more afraid of being a vegetable or a parapaligic or something, living your live inhured or sick and you cant do anything abouit it...like herpes....wth man....
 
You think about it now because you are young and dont want to die. But in my experience, most older people I've come across in my family seem to be more content with their accomplishments. I mean life seems all cool and shit now, but in about 50 years its probably gonna get a little repetitive, ha

For some strange reason I do see myself thinking about ways to die from time to time. Like jumping from a cliff, get in a car accident, train derail. Not that I'm suicidal, but it pops into my head from time to time. Maybe I'm just crazy.
 
Words of wisdom for angsty teenagers who've just discovered their mortality:

"In the long run, we're all dead."

"Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die."

i.e. carpe diem

an afterlife is as unlikely as us having ever existed.

so anything could happen.

Nonsense is fun!

The unlikelihood of our existence is moot, as we do exist and evidence can be provided within the context of reality we know that supports this conclusion. Thus, no matter how unlikely it is that what is is, it is.

Conversely, there is zero evidence of an afterlife, even after thousands of years of human existence and exploration of the subject. The concept is unlikely specifically because there's absolutely no reason to think it is the truth of the matter.

There are (semi) logical ways to encourage the belief in an afterlife, but your post is not one of them.
 
I'm planning on getting me or just my brain cyrogenically frozen when I'm old and bed ridden, so no worries for me. With the way technology is going I'll probably have a cyborg body in the year 3000 and take vacations to the Andromeda galaxy.

Also if I did die today I wouldn't care.
'Cause I would be dead. lol.
 
I think it could be a similar feeling to before you were born. Yeah. I forgot what that feels like but I think that's how it'll be. And then one day in the far future a puppy is born. When it ages a little it barks at something it seems to recognize and the owner has no clue why it's barking. A long time ago, that object is something you recognized, too.
 
I think that when we die, that is it. Nothing. So I try not to think about it. Every so often I'll just think about the fragility of life, and how easily it could end and how awesome living is and how much I don't want it to end. Then I panic for a second. Sometimes when I'm just lying in bed. Usually when I'm doing something like walking on ice passed a spiked fence. I hope desperately for some kind of life extension. Not much happened to me before I was born. Let's not go back there again.
 
It's more the thought of death that is scary. The thought of not existing anymore. The fucked up thing is that it will and is going to happen. You just don't know when. I'm not saying I think about it all the time, but it does pop up every now and then.

I don't exist for several hours everyday.

I've lost consciousness several times in my life and didn't exist then, either. It's not scary at all.
 
There is no need to fear a sudden swift death: You won't be feeling anything and it can be sweet release if you have a shitty life.
Fear more for the people, pets, etc. you leave behind if they depend on you.
Also, I think what many people fear is not actually death itself, but dying without really accomplishing much or leaving their mark on history.
 
My religious views aside, I like to think of death as being the same as the state prior to a person's conception and birth. I can't remember anything before my birth, for obvious reasons. That said, do I find the thought of not existing unpleasant or painful? Absolutely not. I didn't exist in any form before 1986, and it really wasn't so bad, was it?
 
There really is no such thing as death because the stuff you are made out of still exist... It just quits being a being animated... But sooner or later that same stuff that you were made out of us is going to be used for something else.

It's not scary at the time. But it's scary to think that we will be like that... forever.

Who knew GAF was full of metaphysicians? Losing consciousness =/= not existing.
