Do You Want To be Immortal or Do You Except The Inevitable?

Question

Are You afraid to die?
Do you accept the fact that all things must die to allow the new to survive?
Do you condone existing in an artificial and sustained state?
Is preventative practice better than maintenance in regard to your choices?

Answer 1

death is something i dont belive 'cos it is not absolute to die is just log off 4m the world an imaginative!!!!!!!!! earth situated in our brain n conected by the divine internet so dont be 'fraid njoi the life n wat to log off.

Answer 2

I am immortal :o)

And everybody is afraid of dying. They may not be afraid of death; death is inevitable and we learn early on not to let a fear of death crush the joys we may find in living. But dying is a biggie. People ask if it's gonna hurt and if it is, how much, and for how long. And to this end they often go to considerable trouble to avoid doing it until the last possible moment.

Yes, death of the old is essential to the life of the new.

If I was living in an artificial and suatined state I'd probably condone it. I am not inclined to look gift horses in the mouth.

I have no idea what the last part of the question means.

Answer 3

*Of course I am afraid to die but I guess as I grow older I'll be able to accept because it's inevitable.
*Yes I do and I believe so. As a matter of fact I've been contemplating on that. Have you ever noticed, when someone dies, in a matter of seconds, a baby or babies are born.
*What do you mean? Lifestyles or the use of artificial things to sustain life? If that is so, well so long as it helps better one's living then why not. However, if it's just used to satisfy one's greed, I think not!
* Maintenance is on my own opinion one way of prevention so what's the deal?

Answer 4

Death... I accept that I must die but I do not go looking for it. It is accompanied by a feeling of anticipation that many feel before going on stage. It is something that frightens me only a little but there is an excitement about what will happen next. I am afraid that my approving artificial and existing states varies with the situation.

Answer 5

Here are my answers in the order you asked them:

~ Honestly… yes a little.
~ I do. I realize that life itself is only sustained by the death of another. Without the existence of death, life cannot be either.
~ I do not necessary “condone” it, but I have come to terms to accept it as something that cannot nor will not change – not on this earth anyways.
~ Somewhat. I apologize for all of my answers seeming uncertain, but you must understand that these types of questions do not simple satisfy me to answer, “Yes or No”. For me, preventative practices are inborn – something that the body does naturally to prolong it is own lifespan. Consider such things as the flight or fight inborn mechanism, or the regurgitation effect the body naturally does when you get something caught in your throat. The maintenance part is *equally* as important to me as the preventative aspect – just that the body tends to take care of the preventative side whereas the maintenance should be your part. Things such as healthy eating, exercising, and none-self-destructive things like smoking, (no offense to those that do) are what you can do to also help prolong your one and only precious life.

Answer 6

Death to me does not exsist, and why anyone would want to stay here on earth for eternity is beyond me, allthough I do not see eternity lasting too much longer for the human race... I live a pretty typical Joe American lifestyle with the 2 kids, house on the coroner, white picket fence, swimming pool and a dog.. Things are okay in my little peice of suburbia. That does not mean that I am blind or do not see the hell that is all about us. I am a christian, though my view of Jesus is just that and no form of orginized religion will ever change it.. I cast no stones, nor judge my neighbors. I will give to those in need and raise my children well. I love my wife and will care for her until we part. I will try to leave my little space just a tad better than it was when I came. There is a much better place that awaits me though I am in no hurry to get there.. I cherish the little things that make and keep me happy. It is all gifts, that can be taken from us at any moment.. Enjoy it while it lasts.. When your handed lemmons' make lemmon aid, learn from the experience and teach others from it.. Remaining teachable will enhance enlightenment.. Good Luck, I will see you all on the other side.

Answer 7

Being able to die is the best thing that could happen to us. I'm not saying loved ones dying isn't terrible, but because the chance exists we could die any moment, we are able to cherish life and everything else. If we were immortal we would just take everything for granted! Yes, death reminds us to cherish life always!
I think no one is afraid to die, but the way we could die is what we are afraid of. It's like the lottery of fate. It's actually kind of funny.
In this society it's of course to live by the words of horatio: "carpe diem" but we must all try to make life great for eachother.

Answer 8

I'm not afraid to die. Yes, everything must die. No, I will not condone living in a artificial state. Yes.

Being immortal would suck man. You would have memories and nightmares of loved ones that you passed by, you would kill yourself eventually. The human mind is not made for such abuse.

Answer 9

The problem here is not about dying..we will be dead anyway..the things is that the people live do dam short..when we are young we don't give a dam about life we think we are immortal in a way.but when we get old and we start to have knowledge and we start to understand life and other things...they realize that they have no more time left..so i think people should find something that would make people life longer and don't say eternal because it stinks.beside the fact we don't have the technology or the medicine it's not so advance..or is that what they want us to think..lol..people should live like 250 years...but then again...they can do that because..think about it...you could see the children of your children's children..and the populations will starve...when we could fly on other planets..yes..people should live much longer and they will.

Answer 10

It's not true that "All things must die to allow the new to survive." Nature is more complex than that.

And yes, I'm afraid to die. And no, I don't think fear and acceptance are opposites. As for "exceptance," I don't think that's a word.

Answer 11

1. I accept the inevitable
2. It's not that I'm afraid to die It's just I feel I'm leaving everyone and everything behind other than that it doesn't bother me.
3. Yes I accept it.
4.yes?
5. It's too early from me to even try understanding these Questions but you get the gist(",)
