the reason i don't think about it is because there's nothing i can do about it. accept it, move on.Jea Song said: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?
Amazing. :lolDrkirby said:Why does the man in the picture have a photo of him self looking though the mirror like frame before said picture was put in place?

Future said: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

French naturalist Henri Fabre was intrigued by a species of worms, known as processional caterpillars, because they march single file in long unbroken lines. One day he came upon a line of them in the forest. He gathered them up, put them around the rim of a flower pot, and then started them walking. Round and round they went like a tiny merry-go-round, hour after hour. They kept going for days and even though food was near at hand, they never strayed from their well-worn path. In the end, every one of them starved to death on an endless march to nowhere.

Everything we know about in the Universe is progressing from an organized state to a less organized state, stars, planets, even your light bulb is burning away energy and becoming more chaotic. Then a billion years ago perhaps by random chance the earliest forms of life temporarily reversed this process of entropy and went in the opposite direction. Life has become increasingly more complex and more organized and that seems to fly in the face of other natural phenomena around us.

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.

Tayo said:"No one recovers from the disease of being born, a deadly wound if there ever was one."
"Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on. Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."
It's all a matter of consciusness: death is a liberation, but there is no cure for being born.
even our dear keats tell us:
Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords / Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole
But then that animal is going to be killed which would confirm human beings as being on top of the food chain.Snuggler said:Maybe I'll leave a special request to have the NEOGAF logo emblazoned on my casket, that would be a first.
Anyways, if or when I do die, I hope it's to a large animal that's above me on the food chain, like a Mountain Lion or a Black Bear. I don't want to die of old age or from cigarettes, I want to die of being food to a sweet animal.

anyway a month or so ago on the gamespy debriefings podcast one of their guests told a story about being clinically dead for 5 minutes. he says there's nothing there when you die. it's a dark, silent void of nothingness and you're cool with it.
personally i dont fear death and i dont care if i die tonight. the only thing i fear about dying is how painful it will be.... im hoping for an instant painless death.
