Death.

[Soopa Villain17]

Ever since i was younger ive always been scared of death. Every time there was somethin on the news of global warming and the earth flooding, sun exploding , y2k , and all the diseases carried by animals and insects coming and supposedly going to have large casualties , would come on i would get a kind of depressed feeling. When one of my best friends passed away last november it was really hard. i had known him for like 15 years and i didnt even get to see him before he died. I always try to be on the positive side and think ill live to be 80 or 90 years old but i know its very unlikely that it will happen. Then i think about it 50 or 60 years if im still here they could find some type of thing that would make you live longer or something , but once again its very unlikley. I try not to think about it but its hard every time you turn on the news or open a newspaper to find something related to death, i cant imagine what ill do when my grandparents or parents or sibblings pass .

I really wonder if there is such thing as life after death, i mean it would really be pretty stupid when you die everything just ends. Its so hard to think about it, i mean you go from having fun and doing all sorts of different things in life to absolutley NOTHING. Sometimes when i was around 12 or 13 years old i would think about and it would depress me so much i would cry, i know it sounds stupid but i did and i wished i would never die nor any of my loved ones . I wish i could stay 19 forever but its impossible. And it really sucks that all these young people in Iraq and Afghanistan and all over the rest of the world are getting killed daily. Something about today just really bothered me and i felt i should post this , to hear what other people feel about this issue. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I apreciate it!

As i always say "Eh Death Cant be all that bad every ones doing it"

Seriously i have had a few close calls that kinda opened my eyes (school bus brakeing the jack and falling while im under it, OR getting wedged under tire of a International 5 ton truck as it rolled forward unexpectedly). An stuff lke that kinda makes you step back kinda look at it and say holy that could killed me. But after that i kinda just said hell **** can happen no matter what i may as well have fun and cross the next bridge when i get their. I dont care what happens after death ill find out soon enuff till then im gona have fun.

Bro, no one wants to die...at all.. It in some way shape or form, bothers all of us..thing to realize is, you CANT avoid it. Its going to happen, I LOVE LIFE to the fullest extenet, everything about it I find fascinating, but it will end eventually. Best way to look at it, take it for what you have, dont disrespect it, and have as much fun as you can before you go. Id rather be doing something I love having the time of my life and die at 50 instantly, then have to live to 100 and suffer, thats just me tho, your only 19 look towards other things..

I came to grips with mortality a long time ago. Not everyone fears death, but everyone fears pain. As long as it's quick, thats all I care about.

I hate you but-
Im sorry to hear about the loss.
When I was 16 my best friend passed as well, I've never really gotten over him leaving.
I think about him everyday, and I would give anything to have him back.

Everybody dies, either youll get used to everybody around you dying or youll be dead yourself. Whatever happens when you or somebody else dies doesnt matter, while youre here you should make the best of it, and the best of it most certainly isnt sitting around being depressed because everything is going to die. Roll with the punches, learn from it, and do something worth writing on your tombstone.

Don't be afraid of death , be afraid of not living life to the fullest.

When your life sucks you know it.

When you die, your dead and you won't.

believe in whatever you have to believe that comforts you... Is a an idea any less worth believing in if its not true but makes you feel good? I say no

Even though Im 17, I think that death is a part of life, I know I didnt exist before I was born, and I think its a return to that state when you die, Im comfortable with that. What Im not comfortable with is thinking about in 30 years my exercise is going to be lifting myself out of a chair, or walking up stairs

your joking right, so u think when u are 47 that its gonn abe hard for u to get up stairs or get out of a chair. I hope u are kidding becasue my parents are both 50 and go out and run and exercise on a daily basis. I think u have a little bit more than 30 years to be fully active.

I could make a comment here, but even I have limits.

I still dont like you though.

I want to be the first person to get out of life alive.

indeed thousands pass each day, and who likes it? not many....... thinking on this subject has always bothered me, but then i remember that if i waste all my time thinking about death, theres no time to have a life. Live to your fullest extent, and dont let anything stop you. Haave fun and havbe some good times in the process. When i think about all my close calls, its mind boggling, everything is so fragile, so deadly in one way or another....

this thread reminds me of two people in my life.... both of which were/are perfect examples of how life should be lived.

the first passed five years ago, he was 96 and a best friend to my father. all the doctors told him not to do anything requiring physical exertion, and most importantly not to drive. He was later seen flying by doing at least 70 on the highway

the second is a current florida resident at 97. He left Cuba after castro took over and seized his 75 acre farm. nowadays he plays an hour and a half of tenis followed by a lunch with his friends. the thing that surprises me most is that he is on no medications and acts as if he were 40 years younger.
