"Another trademark death topic from Ros"

I'm feeling confused.

On the one hand (*contemplates her right hand*), I'm scared of death. I'm scared of not exsting anymore. I don't want to die I want to live forever.

On the other hand *is now scrutinizing her left hand* I'm intrigued by death. I want to stop hurting. When I die I won't hurt anymore. I'm so tired all of the time and I want to rest. I want to be asleep, to not be consious. How different is being asleep, to being dead?

Its a big contradiction. I'm scared of not exisiting, but also I'm tired of an existance where I am in pain and I am tired. In some ways I wish to experiance what its like to not exist. But of course I can't experiance whats its like not to exist, because I won't exist to experiance it.

Find a new way of looking at life.

hehe well you did your bit, by making me ponder what it was like before I began to exist :S

*shrugs*
Best I shuttup and see if anyone else is.

Well I'm tired of living but scared of being dead, and therein lies my contradiction.

Is no one elses scared or even sligtly worried about being dead?

Fair enough, we all have different ways of thinking.

Personally I have zero fear of death or being dead, which means I enjoy my life.
If there's a heaven/hell, I'll take it as it happens.
If there is a god, I'm punching him in the balls.
If there is a devil, I'm punching him in the balls.

Nothing we can do, the certainty in life we all have is that one day we WILL die.
Whether you smoke or not, drink or not, believe in god or not, have money or not.
We all die.

I'm going to continue on my mission until I'm good and ready.

I never thought of where I was before I was born before.

Afterlife worries me. What if I'm wrong about the whole No God thing, and I end up going to hell. I don't think I would like that very much.

I guess I can't imagine me not being here anymore. And worse than that I wory about what will hapopen to The Ogre when he dies. If I'm still alive I will have to cope with him not existing anymore as well.

Why?
You'll either be non-existent and not aware, as you were before being born
Or you'll be in the afterlife, where any worries are over.

Its not dying I'm scared of. It being dead that I'm scared of.

i think everyone pitched in for a psychiatrist for that matter... anyway, i hope christians arent right (being an atheist myself) because hell sounds like a bad place. living on forever would be pointless if noone else existed, which noone will after all the chaos/aliens/global warming/etc. you wopuld just be so bored and you couldnt commit suicide. dont commit suicide right now though because the weathers so nice. :)

I very nearly died in a car accident in '91.
Badly, badly smashed up to the point of it was radioed in as a fatal.

And what I do know is that when death comes, you wont even know it.
I remember nothing about my accident, nothing about the hospital etc.

When you die, you'll not even realise it. So relax and enjoy.
