How aware are you of your own mortality?

16 Comments

I'm 19 and I lost someone close to me who was in his early twenties. I then started to think about where he could be. Is there life after death, or is it just a return to nothingness? Will he ever snap back into consciousness as someone or something else (perhaps on a different planet millions of lightyears away)? Of course this led me to think about my own mortality, and then it hit me like a thunderclap, I'm going to die and there's nothing I can do to change that fact.

Also the concept of eternity is incomprehensible to me. I feel like I'm going crazy, can anyone relate?

I think about it constantly 10
I think about it regularly 25
It's usually a fleeting thought 19
I rarely think about it 7
Never really thought about it 1

    More than likely I have less time left than you have already lived. But I refuse to curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep worrying about it.
    I'm living the time I do have left to the fullest and actually my impending demise has freed me from that worry. It's so close now, that a few days, months, years won't really make that much difference, so if there's something I want to do and it's a little bit dangerous, what the hell; I've had a good life.

      oh hey!, i think its kinda weird your gf is 42 years younger than you especially as your only 50. Come at me bro, I'll slap your titties. Death is not the end! Only the beginning of a more glorious masturbation sequence! Also your views on Vietnam were utterly apalling you daft cunt, I'm willing to get my dick out and whirl it around and pretend to be a helicopter than I am to admit you were right about Vietnam you illiterate fuck-bag

      Do you have any ideas or beliefs about what death leads too, Or do you just accept that you don't know and it could literally be anything?

        My belief is that death is the end. No more anything, which is why I have tried to pack as much living into this life I could.

          That sounds like a good porch to stand on.That way if something happens and it's not uncomfortable, it'l automatically be a plus, For me at least. By the way, what is everything anyway? Whose to say anything isn't nothing, and we're always dead?

            I ain't dead yet, my friend; my gf can attest to that! 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, most days.

    Sooner or later we will face the music.
    Just hope when it's time to die, you get a fast tune and go out quickly.
    My grandfater was in the hospital for over a month, before he died. That sort of death is torture.

    I'm aware of my own mortality. Although it may sound strange to some, I am not afraid because I believe.

    Accutely. It used to be a strongly negative feeling, and although I still fear death more than anything else I think that fear can channel itself productively when I let it. I wouldn't have half as much motivation or fun if I wasn't frequently reminded that one day I won't be able to have fun or exercise motivation ever again.

    Yes. Everyday I remember that one day I will die, that it is inevitable. It's depressing. I want to live forever.

    Someday you will find me caught beneath a landslide
    in a champagne supernova in the sky.

      How many special people change,
      How many lives are living strange,
      Where were you while we were getting high?
