So anon, how do you feel about your eventual death? All of us will one day pass away, due to cancer, disease, accidents, war, murder. How do you deal with the fact that eventually you'll just close your eyes and never open them again?
>>672294370
every night before I fall asleep I secretly wish I will never open my eyes again
>>672294661
Why do you wish that? Are you NEET? Life not going so well?
I used to not care. I felt like if I were to die idc. Now that my life has gotten way better it's different. It's worth it now so I just want to live long and happy. However when the day comes I hope it's quick and something where I don't spend a month in hospital on the death bed
Meh
Idk makes it seem like you might as well just try and enjoy it as much as possible
Not be so inward, waste of time. Only for you. Talk to others.
>>672294370
I don't waste my time and energy thinking about it.
>>672294799
Same. Kind of hoping to have a quick death like go fight against the cartels or something and do some good before I go. Maybe kill a few baddies and then get shot.
>>672294948
But it's true though. Even if you survive till 80, eventually your body will start shutting down and dying.
>>672294370
You have a set of time on this earth, use it wisely.
Those who dont care about the fact that they will pass away, are the poor ones who waste their days

I am not suicidal, nor am I depressed - but I simply can't wait for it to happen.

I know. I will wait until I am actually dying to think about it. Also, I never think about sleep until I get tired, eating until I get hungry, etc.
>>672294370
I don't mind it. Particularly because I feel like I haven't had the greatest life.
also looking forward to that massive death trip.
>>672295040
Ya. If you come to dwell though it gets redundant. Its an experience. Thinking about isn't the real thing. Like sex.

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”
I botched my life early on, and won't amount to anything for the rest of it. So I'm more or less ready at any time
It's really common to go through a phase of being pretty terrified of it during your adolescence, and once you get past that it's pretty easy to not be cognizant of it pretty much all the time. But that's not a long-term solution, so me, I'm trying to make myself think about it more often. Deal with that reality, roll it around in my head, demystify it. I'm hoping that by doing so, I can undo the natural tendencies towards fearing death and viewing life as something that would be better if it went on forever. Because objectively, that's just not really true. Objectively, there's nothing wrong with becoming nothing, and I think I'll ultimately be happier if I can internalize that.

DUUHHH

>>672295692
But why can't life go on forever? We have the technology (Or at least will in a few years).
>>672296280
Why would you want to?
We're overpopulated as it is. If nobody died, it would just get worse and worse

i feel really good. it's really calming.
there is only one form of equality. there is only one form of happiness. there is only one true form of peace.
death
if you aren't chill with death, you won't have a happy life
>>672294370
being alive is unnatural when you look at the grand scheme of the universe so when you die youre really just coming back into balance. you cant really experience death anyway (probably) so who gives a fuck? just live it up while you can, go get laid do drugs and have fun, when you die no one will remember you anyway and in a thousand years any of your accomplishments no matter how great will be forgotten OR WORSE perverted into a way for someone to make money. you cant escape death so why worry about it?
>>672296390
hi mr. edgelord
fucking idiots do you really think all of us are going to pass away? with the rate of technological advancements in medicine and sciences we're going to be eternal cyborgs or upload our minds in a super computer in 20-30 years time

Your question is stupid and the answer is don't think about it.
Life is a beautiful dream. Death will be similar. We are all blessed to be still dancing.
I plan on blowing my brains out before my body deteriorates to the point of not being able to do anything or going nuts.
>>672296672
Theoretically you have a good point. But that'd never happen
>>672296579
lol maybe among the 1%
most of us just gonna die like usual for the next 100-200 years
and by the time the majority of people get the 'eternal life' treatment, i wonder... how will we even protect the physical integrity of the earth? like, sure, you'll be on a hard drive or whatever. but there will still be janitors cleaning the storage banks, people powering the energy, people keeping the earth from just literally blowing up, and eventually they will all fail.
we all die bro. deal with it
>>672296579
They told the same thing 20-30 years ago.
>>672294370
I'm honestly interested in finding out what happens.
Before you spout off the inevitable...
>I know what happens!!!
>you stop breathing and become nothing and rot and worms eat you blah blah blah
I mean what we experience, what we feel, what we "see".....
There has to be something.
>>672296280
Well first, here's no such thing as "forever" for us because we can't stop the eventual heat death of the universe. AFAIK, there's no reason at all to believe that entropy could ever be reversed.
Second, although we could stop natural death, unnatural death would still be a constant fear. Even moreso, really, because it's overwhelmingly statistically likely if you live for a long time. And then your death would be all the more tragic because you had so much more life to live than a mortal of your same age.
Third, I think you're vastly over-estimating by saying we'll achieve immortality in "a few years". I really wouldn't bet on it in your lifetime.
>>672296579

sometimes i wish my religion wasn't real because the thought of burning alive forever isnt right man.. everyone should be punished based on their sin. Not just everybody burn forever even if you were a good person but thought different.

If your religion's not helping you be happy, I submit that you try not believing in it. You'll probably find that it comes much easier.
>>672294370
I've been through enough shit to fill two lifetimes with problems. Currently, I am filled with enough questionable substances to sedate an elephant. Truly, life is what you make of it, whether that be via friends, family, or whatever art you so fancy. Whether it's music, drawing, painting, dancing, anything that brings you happiness should really be considered when you think about your life.

>>672297567
ya man iv ben trying to leave it, but a pit in my gut tells me to believe. then i start to question everything.
I wish we knew 100 % if GOD exists. Why does it have to be so difficult anon?
It doesn't bother me because as far as i know its 60+ years off.
What worries is me is watching my parents creep up into the mid fifties and knowing that I've probably spent over half the time I have left with them already.
i used to get really worked up about death.
i tripped acid a few times and had 'death trips' and after that i was keenly aware of my eventual demise.
it really bothered me, so i did a lot of research into world religions, namely eastern ones and the philosophy accompanying them.
that didn't satisfy me though. its just another faith thing. i don't think there will ever be an answer that i will reach in my current life that will satisfy me.
so instead of worrying, i just don't think about it. there is no solution to the problem of death. there is no thought that i can think that will make me say 'hey you know what this death thing is alright!' i believe i will always be uncomfortable with it. so, instead of stressing myself out for no reason, i just don't think about it.
its not really avoidance, i just don't preoccupy myself with thoughts of death. when i'm in the shower and it comes up, i think "yep i'll die one day" and that's it.
>>672298175
Does that pit in your gut also tell you that if you are ever jealous of another person, even for a moment, or if you say "Jesus" with like, the wrong inflection, and you don't ask him to forgive you, then he'll set you on fire forever? Like, not for a long time... for EVER. Which is so long that the incidents that led up to it completely disappear into the mists of time while you're still burning, and then you keep burning even more forever. Does your pit tell you that that's true? If so, I'd examine that pit more thoroughly. Interrogate it, see what it's made of. If it's made of a fear of change, then don't worry, you'll get over that. If it's made of a Pascal's Wager, "just in case it really is true" kind of fear, just remember that that doesn't make any sense; any type of god could be real, you can't act according to all of their whims "just in case".
>>672298734
it doesn't have to be by-the-books christianity. the guy just says he wants to believe that there is something more.
let him do it. if it brings him comfort, who are you to deny him that?
i envy the religious. the TRULY religious. i wish i could wholeheartedly believe that god has a plan for me, and this is all just temporary bullshit and the REAL thing is coming up in 70 years or whatever.
but i can't.
i want to believe so fucking bad, but i can't.
there is a lot more to this thing than we can ever know.
I personally despise the idea. Wish humans could overcome our petty and emotional shit and start working on immortality (if we ever approach it, or at least something like 1,000's of years of life) if we want to colonize the universe it will be key that we don't rot in 80-100 years
>>672299008
No believe me, I totally think anyone should believe whatever makes them happy (as long as it doesn't make other people unduly unhappy). I just kinda inferred/assumed from his post that his religion was Christianity and that it wasn't making him happy.
>>672298676
This is how I've become.
Just sucks though, because I'm a paraplegic and get health problems all the time. When you experience pain below the injury, you don't feel it like you ordinarily do. It's worse. A small burn triggers autonomic hyperreflexia, and it feels like you're going to die sometimes.
Sometimes I wish I was depressed or suicidal, but I'm not. I still cherish life far too much, despite the bullshit.
Imma just ignore it til it goes away. Until I go away.

I know I'm a fucked up and worthless person. I have felt that empty feeling before and it pains the hell out of me and I don't want anyone going through it. I know that people hate religion on this board but...Jehova's witnesses are right. I'm not shitting you. They have books that tell of historic moments that are happening now. They literally saw it coming. And you know what? They're nice people. Sure they can be strict and a little weird but that's only some people. I was raised as one and have been super distant from the religion. I want to get back into it as things get worse from my perspective. Idk. I'm always scared of that empty husk feeling. It's not a bad religion, guys. Every other religion is always trying to get something out of someone and is corrupt in some way. The people are great here in this religion. It's welcoming and has no hate involved what so ever. Yes, witnesses believe in Jesus but Jehova is his father. Believe it or not, catholicism and modern day Christianity ripped of the JW bible and scriptures and modified them. Yeah. Hate me and call me a faggot for posting this. I don't care.
>>672299998
First video made me tear up. I hope for my mentally ill and suicidal brother's sake he can wake from this life and in better shoes.

That's gonna sound weird but I can't wait to die just to see what we'll happen. I don't believe in any god the fuck off with your paradise/hell or whatever.
My bet is that your consciousness simply disappear and you're not here anymore.
And I want to live a long life too so I'm not suicidal or anything, just curious AF
>>672294370
I'm not scared of the act or the process, in fact when I think of it I feel like I've fully accepted it. What scares me and makes my stomach sink though is the possibility of leaving behind the people I truly do love and appreciate.
I can't imagine not having my girlfriend or my best friend anymore man, fuck. Life is nothing without the people that make it worthwhile.

You won't experience eternal life but your double will.
happy, i want to be able to enjoy as much of life as i can while im alive, meet new people, go nice places, learn new shit, just do shit.
itd be scary to never die, just dealing with the same things over and over again, yes it would be cool to see what the futures like, but i would miss whats normal today too much, im too used to how everything is atm
plus, could think of it sorta how when you're done with a game, done all the quests and shit, run around and done the same stupid shit over n over again, n theres just nothing left to do, id hate to feel like that in rl, read every book, been to every country, learnt every language, done all the shit id like to know id be able to do
plus my memory would go to shit, id need to fill up a book or some shit, imagine living with someone you love for like 40 years, n having to write a book filled with what they r like, because you're going to forget they exist
living forever would be hell, id want to live to about 90something

Death is salvation.

When I woke up one day, I realized that I am going to die when I turn 60. This was not brought by fear of death nor was it just a tickling feeling. As sure as you know you are breathing I know when I will die.

I've come to terms with eventual death. I was hours away from dying from my colon just deteriorating away when I was 15 after spending a couple months slowly becoming skin-and-bones in a hospital. Then woke up early from the emergency surgery that saved my life without painkiller, so I felt the fresh wound of my stomach being vivisected and sewn back together (surgeon screwed up my belly button. Hate that). After all that, death doesn't seem that scary. I would have died much sooner then if I didn't have a strong will to live. That and possible divine intervention (Christian family, had a Jewish doctor) were the only explanations for me living with a scab for a large intestine.
Death is weird. We often have a fear of it, and often feel ready to accept it. But it's something that not until you have truly stared at death and told him to screw off can you fully understand how scary it is, and how to come to peace with it. It turned me from being a wuss scared of everything to constantly being ready to risk my life to protect people I care about, simply because I realize that if it comes down to it, if I die or some faggot threatening my family dies, it's just how everything is going to be. It also gives you a sense of how much one life can do.
With that said, while I have no fear of death, I do have two death-related fears:
1. Dying before my parents too. I almost put them through losing a child once, I don't want to do it again after seeing their faces the first time around.
2. I don't want to die until I can get through college and go create (more like write) the game trilogy I've wanted to make in some form since before my near-death. Tons of my nightmares from being a teen with no control of his life from a deadly illness while dealing with depression make it up, and over time I've cultivated it so that it's not whiny teen angst, but something that actually explores human life and mentality while having action you'd expect from a AAA. Dreams, yo.

Someone cliff notes this shit. I ain't reading all that. Didn't read the other long ass post neither.
Send them this anon 4 eternity
>>672294370
it's inevitable.
like "how do you feel about your eventual breakfast?" uhhh, i dunno, its gonna happen? ill let you know how it is when i get to it
sometimes i think it is scary, sometimes I think it is interesting. like how you have gone through schooling, met so many people, talked to people and made many memories with your family and friends. you have grown to the person you are now. like you have spent all that time doing something, and then it is just gone in an instant. all your memories, time spent, things you done, pretty much gone. unless you done some crazy world changing stuff it really is pretty meaningless. but human bonds just make it seem so much scarier, because we dont want to loose the people we love, and who we have grown attached to.
Cliff note. MuhahHz
>>672302616
Sure as if that fucking matters at all. Firstly i doubt youre 61 and browsing 4chan. And secondly i could die any second even when im typing write now or get cancer or anything for that matter. You havent learn anything in your years of life lived have you.

I know it will happen, but thats life. My life is pretty interesting, so maybe my death will be as well.

I don't mind dying, I just hope it'll happen painlessly and a long time from now.
I want to go without any regrets, and with the idea of having lived a fulfilling life. So far, I definitely have, but want to do so much more before I die.
I'm not worried about the afterlife, if there is any. I'm just focusing on this life because there's a good chance it's all we get, but I live a good enough life. Do some charity work, donations locally, don't do anything that puts others at a disadvantage etc.
If there's a God, I'm sure He will see I'm a good person even if I don't pray.
I hate it and I wish I could live forever. I don't mind being a brain in a jar if i'm still alive hook me up to some robot shit and i'm good to go.
I'll go explore space and report back in a few thousand years if you fucks haven't planet of the apes'd it up.

Faggot OP of that one here. My apologies for my unusual medical incident being too "cookie cutter" for you. Feeling what it's like to have just had half your torso cut open must be pretty common among here, I guess. Crohn's can be one hell of a disease. Crapping out of your side into a sack is fun though, so there's that upside.

I've had dreams that made gave my grizzled, stoic ex military friend goosebumps when described; shit that couldn't have been imagined by the darkest of minds. He looked vacant, wide eyed and stared off in the distance like I just told him his dog died. Nothing Freudian or gory, just ominous, mind-bending and wrought with despair. A good chunk entailing a meaningless, hopeless hell populated with slowly floating Lovecraftian, aberrations that swallow towns whole where death is no escape. Environments are torn into impossibilities that are maddening in and of themselves.The most memorable, a fully realized and precise shifting fractal merged with the Earth, jutting out into the space ad infinitum, looping back in branches. Broken, decayed abstractions arose from the surroundings and snarled in contempt when I tried to lucid dream, almost as if to scare or nudge me back into my predefined dream.
I truly thought that this was a glimpse into the other side. Just chaos. No sense of cohesion where punishment is weakness and inability to adapt to the ever-changing madness. I dwelled on it for a while, then I realized I'm an eccentric artfag and it's just part of my odd noggin.
Nut up, douche. Well, I may be wrong in my nonchalant conclusion... BUT I DON'T THINK SO!

death is a fact of life. there is nothing to deal with.

The only downfall is this...
we are nothing more then products of potential lottery winners. The thought of an act to use energy and move it from one place of another is arbitrary as a random event that could have been the basis of our existence. It is like your own parents calling you an accident. You are a natural, potentially unlikely born organism with with the illusion of moral meaning in life where being grateful is offensive.

No worries. Just seemed strange having that whole ordeal I went through called "cookie cutter". Was definitely one of those "This may have happened to two other people in the world this way" kinda things, or at least felt like it. Definitely feels unusual looking back on it all. Kinda can't believe it all happened, but the scar on my stomach from the first new crapper and the current crapper on the other side of my stomach remind me it did. Pretty legit scars from the whole thing though, came to peace with my existence, and have learned some unique life lessons from it, so no real big loss there, aside from no way to access the prostate. Bad for both pleasure and cancer checks

holy fuck. id ask you what your on and then ask if i can have some, but NOPE. I dont want any of that. i think i just got a context high and i need to go look at pretty pictures. or just fap. i may just fap

My life's pretty shitty.
Through injury, I've lost the ability to do the things I most enjoyed, for perhaps forever.
Before that, I had a legal battle which lasted almost 5 years during which my life was essentially in a complete stop (I won in the end, though).
Before that, I had a couple of years that were ok, I guess, other than for self-esteem issues and economical troubles.
Before that, I had other health issues that prevented me from really living my life "to the fullest", if you want to use that banal&stupid expression.
Before that, I had a shitty childhood during which I was bullied & beaten at least once a week for about 7-8 years in school.
I'm pretty goddamn tired now at 30-something, and to be honest I wouldn't really mind dying.

Anyone who says they aren't scared of death is a liar. Anyone who says they don't think about it is a liar. Anyone who thinks they are going somewhere afterwards like heaven or hell is lying to themselves. You are going to be worm food, plain and simple. Everything you do or have done will be forgotten and in a hundred years it will be as if you never even existed. Welcome to reality morons.
I can't wait for it, honestly. But I want to go out in a blaze of glory.

I live in a first world country with healthcare, money, and a life. Why the fuck would I give a shit about death?
And for all you dipshits saying that you want to die or don't care if you do, by all means stick a gun in your mouth and do your part to decrease the surplus population. I assure you, you won't be missed.

I welcome it.
I love sleep and every morning i wake up tired.
I love the idea of death.
However immortality tech is apparently like 10 years away and, fuck, Ill take that too.
>>672294370
already went through ego death during a bad hallucinogenic trip.
im ready to die anytime.
today. tomorrow. 10 years, 90 years. does not matter. i dont care anymore.
i am part of the totality. i cannot die. i do not live.
>>672303958
>want to do so much more before I die.
I'd be interested in what you want to do, as another view could be that, because of your acceptance of your mortality, you're creating a treadmill of achievement for yourself which will all be meaningless once you die. Better, perhaps, just to live and enjoy the moment, taking simple pleasures in what the world throws at you?
>>672296579
For someone so sure about this, you sure dont use google, do you?
Telemere repair is the key. Our bodies just forget how to regenerate themselves, and they now know why. Once they have that we are immortal. Even google started pouring millions into firms on this technology this year.
In the meantime, its also been found injecting young blood into the old makes them reverse in age a few years. Its being used to treat alzheimers.

Fuck man. Glad I'm not alone. Took acid thinking it was gonna be fun and it really fucked me up. Guess it's better than being ignorant to though.
>>672306777
I hope you're wrong. Otherwise overcrowding, resource shortages, war and death of the powerless (deliberate or accidental) will be our probable fate. The population of the worls is growing too fast anyway - imagine adding back in the death rate
>there is a theory that no civilizations much more advanced than we are can exist anywhere in the universe, because intelligence is destined to invent itself out of existence before it can comprehend and deal with the consequences of its inventions
>>672306493
i had that happen to me when i was like 7
no hallucinogens needed needed, i just realized what death was and created my own interpretation or whatever.
autism is one hell of a drug amirite?
>>672306967
Oh I didn't spell it right, so I'm a retard and everything I say is wrong.
A cancer cure that provided immediate relief and saw 95% of test subjects go into remission just entered peer review phase. The test subjects were all near death and this trial was a last resort.
We are going to cure it in our lifetime.
>>672307096
wow, way to quote every book, movie or game about the future ever anon, you're a real philosophical genius you are.
also, did you think that maybe they might just, i dunno, sterilize people when they make them immortal? plus, nobody really wants to live forever. there's a limit to what a person can see and experience in their life time. eventually people would just start killing themselves once they'd decided they'd lived long enough.
do you think things through at all?
fucking faux-deep pseudo-intellectual retard
>>672307020
only it didnt mess me up though.
2 weeks i couldnt think straight.
afterwards things are fine and i am more well adjusted than ever.
depression went away. i have zero anxiety or fear of danger.
started exercising right. grades went up.
but i lost most emotion. i cant connect to anybody on a human level anymore.
the only physical contact i can stand is when im hitting somebody or getting hit in the boxing gym.
any normal person would say its not a good trade. im at the point where i dont care.
>>672307332
depends on the type of cancer.
neural cancers develop slow and even though they are classified as malignant, they are slow enough to be treated as benign.
same goes for other malignant entities like basal cell carcinomas.
on the other hand, things that get us are prostate, breast, gastrointestinal, melanomas, squaemous cell carcinomas etc.
due to their insidious onset and lack of viable treatment methods.
if they cure those with a decent cure rate then it would be nobel prize tier.
I'm not scared of death because i know when i'll be dead, i will be dead, i won't be able to feel recourse depression or sadness.
Death is a part of life, accepting that is the only way to get over the fear of death, and as long as mine will be quick, i won't be afraid of it, i hope my death is unsuspecting though, i don't want my last minutes knowing i'm going to die.
>>672307096
It isnt growing too fast. Our cap is 10 billion, we are at about 7 billion and our global fertility rate is down to 2.4. Thats almost replacement rate. It is projected to be replacement or less in the next 50 years.
>>672294370
Lately I'm finding comfort in the idea of eventually doing myself in.
This way if I get crushed by a truck or a pack of dindus rip my arms off, I'll go real gentle into that good night since they're just doing it for me, might even thank them if I have the chance.
The worst thing that can happen at this point is I'll give a shit about my life and want more time for everything.
>>672307557
How did you get over the depression? I'm 3 months into this shit and it's driving me insane.
Im excited to see whats after this and im ok with dieing just not right now im still a virgin lmaoo
>>672297412
>of going to hell? im terrified as a man can be.
here's a hint - its all make believe. You're running your life based on a fantasy. Its indoctrination to the nth degree
>>672294370
I can't fucking wait no more worries
>>672307757
nice Dylan Thomas reference
you do realize that you will absolutely regret it if you die without accomplishing anything, right?
your final moments are when you make your peace, but how can you do that if you've got nothing to pacify you? even just "hey i have a kid to pass on my legacy" or "i did something very few other people have ever done"
>>672294370
I don't. I've been repressing feelings since I was ten so I just tuck it away and refuse to touch it. The occasion it slips out and I begin to think of it, it sends me into a terrified depressed state.
>>672307859
well for starters, you're not depressed, you're just at a low point.
>>672307859
hallucinogenics. hands down the best home remedy somebody i know had.
he tried cognitive behavioural therapy, tried zoloft. etc. etc.
nothing compares to chugging down pure dexmethorphan cough syrup lying on the bed in a dark room with a bottle of water and 12 hours of spare time.
he kept it away for a good 2 months the first time. 3 months the next.
the depression goes away for longer and longer every time.
then the guy i knew took some LSA and had ego death. then he been fine for 2 years and counting.

>implying your actions mattered, or will matter in the long run

time is the great equalizer. entropy affects all things.

I've wished to die in the past and now I just accept that I'll one day die. Simple as that.
>>672294370
I just do. i've just stopped worrying about everything.
>>672308274
Show us the scientific study that says God does not exist, and backs it up with proof. You can't? Then get outta here nigga
>>672308012
So far I have the most regret over things I've done rather than things I haven't because I made the decision not to do them so there's no real reason why I should fret over those.
As for passing on a legacy, that's more the kid's problem of what he wants to do with it than mine, why should I worry about that too?
>>672308130
you think i don't know that?
everything you create will turn to dust within 100 years, and everything you think is important is ultimately meaningless.
but that doesn't mean you should just stop caring.
tell me anon, why do you eat chocolate? it doesn't fill you up, compared to most foods, and it has no real nutritional value. if anything it's actually the reverse. and it's pretty expensive considering.
so why do you eat it?
because it feels good. because you enjoy it. because that pleasure, even if temporary, was worth the money that you spent on it, which could sometimes equate to half an hour of work, just for a few mouthfuls of cocoa beans and sugar (and all the other shit)
even fleeting pleasure is worth striving for anon, and even temporary happiness is still happiness. remember that
>>672307513
>also, did you think that maybe they might just, i dunno, sterilize people when they make them immortal? plus, nobody really wants to live forever. there's a limit to what a person can see and experience in their life time. eventually people would just start killing themselves once they'd decided they'd lived long enough.
Who would decide who gets sterilised? Or maybe they wouldn't. Maybe there isn't a limit - I've seen no evidence for one as lifespan is the current limit. And if nobody wants to live forever (again, interested in knowing how you know) why would they try to achieve immortality in the first place
>do you think things through at all?
>>672294370
I was suicidal for a long time... so I had a lot of time to think about death. After it all comes down to what you believe about this universe. If you are an atheist then nothing else exists, so you no longer exist, so you won't care anyway. If you are agnostic you have to believe that something exists after death. If that is the case then that something has to be better then life. Unless you are a christian, in which case idk why I would have this conversation with you.
>>672295906
You have no idea how difficult it is to grasp that. Not poster, but everything he wrote is such a disconnect for me. I get anxiety attacks from time to time at that prospect. Other times it's a passing thought.
>>672294370
I actually want it to come a bit sooner. I chickened out a couple days ago while sort of asking for someone who would assist in my death. Too much of a bitch I guess
>>672308646
>you do realize that you will absolutely regret it if you die without accomplishing anything, right?
you said nothing about happiness.
i said nothing about happiness
>>672308274
hahaha, holy shit, people like you are my favourite.
your head is so far up your own ass it's basically come full circle.
you are the most hypocritical type of person on the planet if you think that.
"oh you can't prove it exists, therefore it doesn't exist"
you also can't prove that it doesn't exist Einstein.
this is why i hate atheists.
when you are, death is not. when death is, you are no more. there is no reason to worry. enjoy your brief spark of conciousness.
>>672295663
Yeah this is one of the rather rare occasions where I have to strongly disagree with Richard Dawkins.
The lucky ones are in fact those who are never born as they never have to struggle. Life is just a constant fight against discomfort. Our brains are simply hard wired to interpret life as something beautiful because of the self-preservation instinct, which is the hardest instinct to override mentally.
>>672308830
Finally some who gets it!!!!
>>672308612
90% of people will look back at things they didn't do with regret and wonder, "what if"
the other 10% are fucking liars.
everybody does. you can't not. it's part of human nature to want what you can't have.
>>672294370
We were all already dead. Where were you in 1492? I don't know but it didn't seem to be an issue. I imagine death is much the same way. I don't think of will be an issue.
>>672308830
Maybe one day you'll pick up a dictionary and learn what atheism actually means. And then go into denial rather than accept you've been making a complete fool of yourself all these years.
Maybe this already happened.

okay friend, you keep tipping that fedora.
Am I actually the only one who is more afraid of the day when one's parents die than of one's own death? I mean, I am not a child anymore, I am 30, I have a job, I live at my own place, but even though I can imagine a world without me, I cannot imagine a world in which I have no mother or father...
>>672309070
Sorry. Was it done by the same person? Are they in jail?
>>672296579
Do you really think eternal life would be a good thing? If your answer is 'yes', you clearly haven't thought about the implications enough.

>>672309179
yes. no.
>>672309154
i used to think about it. but these days i don't as much. i imagine it will be painful. i'm lucky, i only have 1 parent.

Bullshit. If that was true then there would be no great personality to look up to. Also, checked.
>>672309186
Afterlife? If I thought I had to live through another life I'd kill myself right now.
>>672309288
Were you a kid? Does anyone else know?
this is the only correct answer
life is a nihilistic completely nonsense, there are no morals, no objectives, no values, nothing
the only think that matters is pleasure, whatever makes you happy goes, drugs, hoes, traveling, killing people, helping others, being good, making money, whatever... the only reason to live is hedonism and getting the most pleasure you can possible get, thats it
>>672294370
i dont even worry about it
because when it comes,
i'll be too busy looking good.
>>672309154

Afterlife in the christian sense would be a whole 'nother beast entirely as there simply would be no escape. You would be completely powerless, had no control over your own fate whatsoever. This is why I never understood why christians see the eternal afterlife as a good thing. They would have to live with every singe bad memory or wrong choice they ever made in their lifetime for eternity. A real blessing.

the modern interpretation is that it means unity back with god
Knowing im gunna die makes me feel better
>>672309403
I mostly agree. However, the only 'absolute moral value' I would agree on is to try to never be the cause of discomfort. This even allows for killing people, as long as you do it in a way that is painless and you kill everyone who would be negatively effected by said killing.
Sooner the fucking better I say, this is taking FAR FAR too fucking long.
The fact that you're alive surely means you have every chance to be alive again. Maybe it's all one big loop, when the sun explodes in the next 6 billion years, maybe that'll be the next bang. True infinity.
>>672310019
Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't take religion / belief in supernatural shit seriously no matter how anyone 'interprets scripture'. I understand how religion came into existence and that at some point it actually served a purpose in society but I see no fundamental difference between say greek mythology and the abrahamic religions.
Not afraid of death. I am however afraid of dying slowly.
The chances of a painless swift death doesn't seem too likely.
>>672310732
we are all dying slowly...
>>672310619
A (super-)nova has nothing to do with the beginning of the universe.
