Have you ever thought of death?
 
Have you ever thought of death before. I have...

LethalTexture November 11th, 2008 10:01 AM

Of course I have; the more you do the easier it becomes to contemplate what will happen.

When I was younger the prospect used to scare me. But now, I just think that when it's my time to go it's my time, whether it be tomorrow or on my 100th birthday, anywhere in between or beyond. Just make the most of it and spend your life doing what you enjoy.

Quite a pointless qestion really, most people have thought of death at least once in their life.

But yeah, i have thought about death before. I normally ask myself how i will die, and what it must fill like, if i would feel anything at all. It crosses my mind now and then, when my trail of thought leads me to think about the loved ones that have passed away in my life. But hey, i'll never know what it feels like or how i will die until the day comes, so i'm just going to live my life whilst it lasts :D.

Emii November 11th, 2008 10:45 AM

Yes, I have. Probably more than others, since I have had a near death experience, but that's a topic for another day. =)

and yes, I know it's coming for everybody. But to me, that doesn't make it any less scary.. but I still live my life and try not to think about it too much ^^

True Reign November 11th, 2008 11:00 AM

I've thought of death before and it's not bad.

Actually not scary at all...

FairyGarland November 11th, 2008 11:03 AM

I think about death quite often. I seem to have a rather strange fascination with what happens after one dies.

Azonic November 11th, 2008 11:19 AM

Just about everyone has thought about death at least once in their life. If not, then they just did because they read this thread. XD;

Not too long ago, I have had many thoughts of suicide because I thought my life was imperfect. So much people have it better than me. I'm outgrowing that stage now, but still have thoughts of death no matter what. It's not like I'm actually thinking about committing suicide, it's just the topic of death strangely fascinates me. I have always been curious as to what happens to your spirit after you die. Of course, no one will know and probably will never know.

Now, for most of us I think almost everyone thinks about death after a horror movie. After I watch a horror movie, I'm always extremely paranoid about what's around me and what's in the dark, etc. Feels like I'm going to die / be kidnapped / etc, but it never happens. Just natural I guess. x_o

For now, I try not to think about death that much.

Aurafire November 11th, 2008 11:33 AM

Of course I have...Quite a lot when I was young. But I got over it...Everyone has to come to terms with their mortality at some point. It's no big deal for me...I just hope I can go peacefully when it's my time =P

Dukey November 11th, 2008 11:37 AM

Sigh, yes I do, too much though,
I feel I might go crazy over death...

Eternal Nightmare November 11th, 2008 11:55 AM

Yes, i have. Thinking about makes me less afraid to die and its unavoidable anyway, so why not just cherish your life and do things you enjoy before your time is up, right.

Alex November 11th, 2008 1:03 PM

I'm pretty sure everyone has thought of death at some point in their life. I wonder how it's possible not to think of death. :\

Snivi November 11th, 2008 1:23 PM

Haven't we all?!?

Especially if you have lost a loved one.

Hawkfish November 11th, 2008 1:29 PM

Yep, especially when I was depress.. Sometimes I wanted to give up on life. But, that was a long time ago. I'm not that depress anymore. And, I don't think I'll ever get that low again.
I'm not afraid of dying. Although I won't want to pass away by tomorrow. I havn't lived yet.

Gerri Shin November 11th, 2008 2:07 PM

way back when I was younger I was on some experimental drugs for ADHD that made me feel really depressed. I thought about death many times while on that stuff, but after a while I figured out it was the medicine that affected me so I got off and stayed off of that stuff.

Percy Thrillington November 11th, 2008 2:32 PM

Yes, I have managed to suffer the same fate of millions before me and millions that will come after me. No one can escape from death. All the time, we are pondering, wondering what happens when it eventually claims us. It isn't always residing within our thoughts, but you can be sure that in the latest thriller or book, there's a death or at least a reference to one. Why? Because it's human nature to be curious; death most certainly killed the cat.

♣Gawain♣ November 11th, 2008 2:34 PM

Mostly, when my life I think is on it's brink. I don't worry 'cause there's nothing to worry about. -_-

Obito. November 11th, 2008 3:05 PM

Yep i think about it all the time believe it

Fate Falls November 11th, 2008 4:34 PM

O_o

I think it's impossible for a person not to think about death in some degree, unless they are a child who has not been confronted with it before.

The question is pretty vague. Perhaps you want to be more specific?

Michii November 11th, 2008 5:46 PM

All humans have thought of death. It's only natural to think of something that is set to happen to you. No matter what we do as people, we cannot escape the inevitable. We will all die. Therefore, I believe a lot of people think about their death, trying to figure out how it's going to happen and why it is/must.

That gives my obvious answer. Yes, I have clearly thought of death many times in my life. Will I be murdered? Die of a disease? Will I live long? Short? Is tomorrow my last day to live? I think about all of that stuff. I try not to, however, since there's no point in trying to make sense out of what is as good as an alien language. I'll think of death again when I'm facing it in the eyes, and after that? Well, I'll just pray that my beliefs are accurate.

Idiot! November 11th, 2008 8:14 PM

Yes, I think of death. But to me, death is never something to be sad about. So I don't really worry about it.

Careful With That Axe, Pichu! November 11th, 2008 8:25 PM

Last time I did, I was listening to Hannah Montana.

Tokin November 11th, 2008 8:38 PM

indeed, the prospect is not scary at all, death isn't something to be feared for me, it's only an inevitable natural major transition^^

Sammi November 11th, 2008 8:39 PM

I better have -- my father died.

It's kind of hard not to for me, being a writer and all. You have to figure out when to call it quits for some characters. Sometimes it's just their time to go. Thankfully, that process is a lot easier to deal with. @[email protected]

I have almost all of my grandparents alive, too, and a great-grandmother. Soon, it'll be their time to go, and I'm not sure how I'll be able to take it. I haven't had anyone close to me die since, well, my father at the age of five. But I really worry about my parents or my siblings dying. They're a bit closer to me, plus they're younger, so it's not really their time to go. I'd be so, so upset... I don't know what I'd do.

Honest November 12th, 2008 2:37 PM

Unfortually or not, I get over being scared of death is by talkin about it or singin bout it or makin fun of it. Wierd I know, but its just the way I am. I saved my little sister from Death's hand once. I may not be able to get him away from me. @[email protected]
