starcapone Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Death is the only thing that is certain in life. We just don't know how we will die. Morbid, not really. It's even more of a reality since that day. Anyone have a living will? I'm considering making one within a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimk29 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life. ~Jean Giraudoux, Amphitryon, 1929 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xpander Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I've been coming to terms with it since high school. It doesn't take much, really, just a genuine interest in it and strong willpower.To be quite honest, September 11th barely made an impact on in terms of relating to death. To be quite honest, once you realize the way things run in life, those lives aren't as significant in value...and it's more the sentimental loss that impacts you more than anything rather than the sheer number of lives.

barvybe Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 u die a little bit each dayuntil you have people relying on you (wife, kids, etc.) there really isn't much to prepare for. it sucks for those that knew you, but there isn't anything you can do about that.no way to "prepare" for an untimely death Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugar_n_spice Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 No as a matter of fact i dont think i will ever come to grips w/ it. It scares the hell out of me. I guess im most scared that i will die not getting to do everything i want to. And to think that i will never see my family and friends again... I think as I get older it scares me more and more. And when you see friends & family that are sick, I think it makes it worse. As for all that afterlife crap, i dont believe in it. and i guess knowing that death is a final thing petrifies me....

mssabina Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 i've come to grips with dying in the sense that i accept the fact that i will die one day and i'm not afraid of it. i'm not scared of getting old or dying suddenly and i try to live my life day by day so that if i could look back on it when i die, i would be happy with how i lived.... i think it's more important (and more comforting) to focus on living rather than dying...

rudeboyyouth Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I accept that I will eventually die, but I don't know if I will ever be ready to. I'm not scared of dying without having done anything or any bullshit like that. I am scared of the actual moment of my death; the actual process of dying is what scares me. As for a will: I haven't earned enough to make one out. Fuck a will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigmagal Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 I am no where near being able to accept death. I have so many things that I still need to do... I have dreams and goals that need to be accomplished. Maybe when I have done the things that I feel I need to do with my life, will I be able to accept death.

jimk29 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Everyone dies, its just part of living, it doesn't matter if you are ready to accept it or not. Just live your life so that when you die you have done what you wanted to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptune1 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Pretty much everything we do is done in the context of our eventual death... The possibility is always 'looming' in the back of our minds somewhere... But it's the ability to realize our own finiteness the makes being human what it is. In the end, death is absurd. There is no cheating it! And it seems that it is our 'job' as human beings to realize this, and act out our lives nonetheless, extending a notion of how we wish the world to be in a projection of our actions. One may live life in the denial of death, as many seem to; or one may recognize the inevitability of death and go about on your daily life. To embrace the notion of one's own death, and be positive in life, is a challenge we all face... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
