Are you looking forward to dying?

My mother believed in reincarnation and I was brought up to believe in it too. So it's just something that I accept as the way forward.

But....when reincarnated, I will be someone else with a different life and a different body. I don't know who or where I will be.

Looking forward to death? I'm sorry, but to me that's a very depressing attitude. I'm having too much fun and enjoying life too much to want it to end any time soon. I do have health issues and rarely have a day without pain, but I can deal with that and still keep on keeping on. I know so many people who didn't make it to my age and I desperately wish they were here now and I'm sure they didn't want to go so soon. No way am I looking forward to death. Life is too beautiful. Death is the last resort.

 

I'm growing up in a catholic home and Ive been going to catholic schools all my life.. for some reason i genuinely don't believe a word of it, i'm not scared of dying, I'm scared of losing everything i love about life.

 

all of us are on the way of dying. so don't care about it, the only thing needs to worry is how to live. lol

 

I've always been terrified of the idea of dying. Not because I don't know what's going to come next, but mainly because I don't like the idea of leaving people behind.

 

Amen

 

At the moment, yes.
Things aren't so great now, I'm 65 and my family, work etc. situation is not great. I can't take off and hit the road like I'd like to. I'm still in good shape and could do, but not free to, too many ties. But, I can't imagine taking my own life either - could be big trouble. I believe the universe has purpose and meaning and I don't aim to kick it in the face by taking my life.
So I'll stick it out. But my fears and troubles in life make the idea of death easier to take. Maybe it's a groove, this zone I'm in.
You remember the Spaghetti westerns? The guys in those films were always ready to die.
