The Mez, inspired off the wall question.....does anyone ever think about death!!?

Kunjufu · (#1 (**permalink**))

Just an extension of Mezmerised thoughts from another thread....just wondering if anyone considers what it might be liuke to die, or what happens next... When I was young thought of not being around used to scare me shitless... I don't mind admitting that...

I couldn't get my head around, not breathing, not existing and whether when i die, will that be it...finish..... there times I would even wish that I could live for ever....

Funnily enough, as i get older, I don't I have the opposite view....and i rarely think about it..only on the very odd occassions...

Hmmmmmm

Lost many people Kunjufu.Lost somebody close in the early hours ofyesterdaymorning...still raw

I get VERY morbid and think of death, oh yes. When I was younger I was immortal and didnt care. But then people started to die and it preys on you. I went the reckless way because "you only live once" and then when somebody else died recklessly went back to being overcautious but the thought of me ending was always there. More so recently.

Dunno maybe as I get older as you say... it will matter less and less to me than it does now. Hope so.

Just a few years agoI didn't give a sh*t whether I lived or I died. Funny howa wife and child can suddenly change all that. I wasn't reckless per se but I did indulge in a few things I shouldn't have without giving too much thought of the consequences.

NowI care about life 100% because Iwant me and the missus to grow old and graywhile our GREAT grandchildren serve da two ah we breakfast in bed. I'm aiming to be like them folks in Dominica and live to 120 and sh*t like that.

I never worry about me, only those I'll leave behind.

Prince you know what triggered this off again...it was that murder blues programme....i was thinking about that idiot in Tottenham who got shot in the back running from his attacker....I wonder how stupid he felt as the first bullet ripped through his body as he lay on the floor...

Never really think about... until you here of someone dieing.... mind you I do wonder how easy it is for someone to die....everyday I am on the edge of the nothern line platform....

I tend tobe more worried about the process.... of dieing rather than death itself... becuase I believe once you die thats it... you don't exist anymore which means you can't feel people's grief....confused3...

But knowing how close I am with my family... I can imagine the pain they will feel... so yes that worries me most....

Interesting topic... I've thought about death on many occasions, and to be honest when I think of death I think of freedom... I think of no more pain... no more limitations ...I know some might find it weird.

However i don't believe in taking your own life as I believe we all have a purpose and destiny to fulfill.

Have you everwaited at Bank station in the rush hour morning for a northern line?

That is SOOO dangerous. You can't help but think of death there.

It also means there will be nothing of you to care. I fear oblivion certainly, would be irrational not to. Still I can't allow myself the comfort of imaginary doctrines to ease it for me. I've seen some do this. Live life unbelieving like me and then the fear takes them and the hope for more leads to the fall into the dogma.... I can't say never me but I shouldn't like to think so. Would be a massive contradiction but fear does funny things.

But knowing how close I am with my family... I can imagine the pain they will feel... so yes that worries me most....

This is why I am torn between wanting to die fast for my own benefit so I don't suffer and between having the time to say goodbye. I've seen the effects of both on the family and believe me it means something to some people that they managed to clear the air. I've also seen the effects of a sudden loss and shock and it's not pretty.

In all the places I've been, in all missions, in all the fights I never gave it much thought. Even at the birth of my son..I didn't think about it much. But with the passing of my mother and the birth of my daughter, I've been thinking about it more and more.
