People say they died everyday. Be it on personal things, when they lost their loved ones they could say that they have died. When they have put a stop to a bad habit they also could say that they have died. To you folks, what dyou think?

I thought about the fact that the sun was going to continue to rise and set as it always does only I would no longer be around to experience it

In a sense you do die everyday - if you sleep, that is. In the period of deep sleep just after you fall asleep and before you dream, you are no longer aware of your senses, your self or the world. In a sense, you're not there. Well, your personality, the bit that says, "I" or "me" isn't there. Some might say your soul is still there but I've never experienced that, so I have no opinion on it (except a rather sceptical one). As I get older (I'm 58) I get more aware that my death gets a little closer every day (still no idea when it will be, though) & it seems more & more OK, even though I enjoy life a lot.

Since people are being resusitated every day there are loads of people who have technically come back from the dead. Their stories are not really enlightening.
This is true however, each person dies alone, and each and everyone of us is capable of dying. You might look at it this way. I know I can succeed at this, however crap I am at everything else. If you have had a friend die I hope it was a lesson to you that death hurts those that you leave behind far more than it hurts you.

i have something to tell you, from my real life experience.
i was 16 year old and i had gun shut on my front head and several wounds all over my body. it was in 1990 back home in africa.
at the time i got shut on my head i just fell down. it was in the middle of a battle. i still remember that thinking that i passed away and hopefully would meet my best friends who passed away some of them weeks, some of them months, and of course some of them even days.i completely thought i passed away, but after few days i gained consciousness sleeping in a small hospital in the area.
i always regret something; i wish i could think playing or talking with my friends who passed away before. at that time, the minute i got hit was the only moment that i thought i was dead, after that moment i was in deep coma, and the more you lose blood the more you become unconscious.
i hope this would help you. to understand whats death look like.
did i see my death? well i was always ready for that, may be thats why i started thinking about death the minute i got shut.

You are born therefore you have to die.
Do you remember being born? No.
You would not remember dying either.
Dying is the end result of being born. It is natural and aught to be the culmination of one's achievements.
Energy cannot be destroyed it can only alter its form therefore,
Dying is not the end.
It is the beginning of a new existence in a different and exciting new 'dimension'.

Loss, total loss. Nothing, no thing, void, voidness, obliteration, not-knowingness. Not even black, not even dark - nothing. An ending. No words can really describe it and no one knows. There are a lot of stories from those who think they know and some guesses but no one knows. It goes hand in hand with life. And that's the beauty of it.

I've been thinking and wanting it everytime am in very difficult situation and no way out - except death. I think its like sleeping in deep slumber where you are transformed in an undescribed dimension. Its like you exist but living in a vaccum of unkown.

That's Hamlet's "to be or not to be". We think about it all the time. That would put an end to a lot of our troubles, but we'd miss out on a lot of good things too, wouldn't we?

depends on how you die
it can be painful, but i guess it can also be like slipping into sleep
just consider: during sleep, there are moments where you don't dream. sometimes you fall asleep and wake up 3 hours later, and there was nothing inbetween. did you miss anything during that time? did it hurt? any feelings? no, you were gone, completely gone, and that's probably what it feels like when you're dead. you're not missing anything. you're off.

I think dying is like finding your way back home. I believe we are put here on earth for a certain amount of time and when our time is up God takes us back home.
