    Honestly it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm going to die. I am curious, excited, terrified, but mostly not ready at all to die, nor do I desire it anytime in the near future. I want to live out my life as far as I can and go out with a bang.

    I can relate, even though I think the chance is big our consciousness is gone after we die. The subtile difference between the word dying and death makes me wanna add that I am not excited about the process of dying but more so about death itself. I really hope that I don't die slowly and painfully but that is kind of obvious :p

    Yeah I'm not afraid of dying, but i will be afraid to leave my loved ones.
    I know a lot of people who say they are afraid of dying because its the unknown, they don't know what to expect. There are many theories but nothing is fact when it comes to after death. The way i see it is, how can someone say they are afraid of dying? saying 'its because it is the unknown?' Don't we already live in the Unknown? Any day you could die and you don't know it. shit tomorrow is unknown, so is next week and we still make plans? lol...its really not that important cos in the end its not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away :) i love that quote :D

    If death was a bad thing do you think it would be real? Everything is a creation of my mind so if I die then I will just move to another shell. Thats my logic anyways, I am afraid of death but I am also excited...

    I am not looking forward to it even though I know it will happen one day. I am not afraid of dying. I just know that when I do there will be loved ones left behind that will be hurt by it.

    I hope in the time that I have left that they will know that I am ready and I would rather them celebrate my life than morn my passing.

    I am sure that I know where I am going and I hope it is as wondefuel as I expect it to be. I know that it would tear me apart if one of my kids or grand children was to die before me, and I hope that it doesn't happen. I love my life and all the people in it.

    I view dying like most other things - its a life experience. Dying is simply a part of living. To embrace life you have to eventually embrace death.

    That doesn't mean I want to do it anytime soon. I want to embrace life for many, many, many more moons.

    I remember when I was a bit scared of death --- although I've usually been pretty open-minded about it. These days, I am half-excited for it, and I'm terrified of it. I guess the full realization that I have absolutely no fucking idea what is going to happen to me, afterwards, has hit.

    Yeah, I've read stuff about NDE's which gives me a bit of faith, plus I've lived in an independently positive spiritual path for almost my whole existence.

    I'm a bit pissed off about this life and death thing --- I mean why the fuck do we have to go through all this shit?? I'm not totally convinced that we ever had a choice or that we aren't going to be forced into another journey at this one's end.

    Oh well, what the fuck are we going to do about it?

    Not existing? Well, that shouldn't give us any pause at all. That is an easy path, ostensibly.

    Yeah, I sometimes think "I wish this shit was over" but I can see the thought is comming from existential angst which is the result of humanity's propensity to turn away from the living universe and scramble up it's collective, disgusting butt-hole wherein it suffers horribly.

    Probably about 5% of us admit to this condition while the rest lie about it.
    Wishing for death and a better after-life is one response, others like to buy a lot of shit and others wreck their brains with drugs in an effort to escape it.

    If you are a creative person you probably will be more acutely aware of it than others.

    On a more positive note, I find that I feel a lot better when I see myself as an expression of life itself rather than a threatened individual to whom it all seems a bit too much.

    I accept that my personal death is part of the totality of what I am, but it is beyond my human comprehension, so I try as best I can to follow my unique path through life. It sounds a lot easier than it is!

    when I die, I will return to the flow of life. But I realize that I don't have unlimited time here, so make wise usage of every minute of your time. you never know when its going to come to a sudden end.

    Live a life worth remembering. I tend to think about death more than I would like sometimes but it's weird that I won't know this name / body afterward.
    I think death can be used to see that life is short, precious, beautiful and rare.

    Use that perspective to forgive and be forgiven. Pray. Be kind. Meditate and dwell on positivity. If it makes anyone feel better not even Buddha, Yeshua, Rama, Krishna, Merlin etc etc are here do why worry. Enjoy the ride

    Life is a beautiful movie. Pick a character role you see your self playing within life and perform a role worthy of all the audiences of all the spheres. Humble your self. Worship the god within. Smile and let go when the time comes( if u have that wonderful option) lol....

    my contingency plans for after death are to have a natural woodland burial in a wicker coffin with a tree planted on top, if theres no afterlife for me at least my decaying body will nourish something else and help that to grow, live and survive its life.

    I think it is most likely, but I do not assume to know anything about it. The alternative is non-existence, and, if such is the case, it won't be much work.
