Are you mad that you're going to die one day?

Question

How often do you think about your inevitable death? And that life will go on without you? And that you'll be either cremated or underground in a box for many, many more years than you were alive?

Answer 1

When I was younger, it was inconceivable to me that life would go on when I died, as if I was never even there.

As I matured, I stopped fearing death and accepted that there was something else out there in the afterlife.

Answer 2

Long-term happiness only occurs in The Light on the Other Side.

Here is a passage from a notable Near Death Experience:

<< I saw the Christian heaven. We expect it to be a beautiful place, and you stand in front of the throne, worshipping forever. I tried it. It is boring! This is all we are going to do? It is childlike. I do not mean to offend anyone. Some heavens are very interesting, and some are very boring. I found the ancient ones to be more interesting, like the Native American ones, the Happy Hunting Grounds. The Egyptians have fantastic ones. It goes on and on. There are so many of them. In each of them there is a fractal that is your particular interpretation, unless you are part of the group soul that believes in only the God of a particular religion. Then you are very close, in the same ball park together. But even then, each is a little bit different. That is a part of yourself that you leave there. Death is about life, not about heaven. >>

Those who think they can outwit and offset the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that of entropy, which by the way does not apply in the Spirit, are only kidding themselves. Even the Zetan-aliens - like the commonly reported Greys - can't pull that one off. They grow old and transition too.

Although the actual dying process is often traumatic, if you have tried to live by The Golden Rule, served others, and are at least a basically spiritual person, then you have much to look forward to in the Primary Reality.

<< Life is very important because how we have lived our life largely determines how far we can go into the light. >>

Our world if falling down around us. Terran civilization is in a state of spiritual, moral, and environmental decay. There are severe weather patterns - probably related to global warming - which are becoming more frequent.

World War 3 has already started and appears to be escalating. Iran and North Korea are in the process of developing long-range missiles supplied from Red China. Iraq is on the brink of civil war. Moreover, according to the latest intelligence reports, Red China is likely to attack and invade Taiwan (an ally of the US) in 2008.

There is the AIDS plague, up-and-coming viruses that cannot be treated with antibiotics, and the Avian/Bird Flu epidemic.

In short, this planet is rapidly becoming a large-scale HELL.

Am I mad that one day I will die?

Hardly.

Like many people, I will be relieved to be free of this place and in The Light, which is our true home.

Answer 3

No, I'm not mad at all. Death is just a part of life. And I don't really care that I'll be cremated because that's just the body, not my spirit. As per the law of conservation of energy, I think that my spirit will reincarnate. Kind of a never really dying thing. So I am at peace with death.

Answer 4

the only thing that bothers me is HOW i'll die. i'm extreamly clostophobic so the idea of suffocating or drowning terrifies me. i've come to the conclusion that if i have to die an unnatural death, i would rather be shot point blank in the head.
as for after death, i dont really care what's done with my body. my grandmother was cremated and her ashes were skattered across a bay in NY, but her son was cremated and put in their backyard... along with other family members and pets... i dont think that anyone in my family has a headstone anywhere (like a cemetary) so its like, whats the point of being burried if no one knows where you are. but then if your ashes are skattered, then no one will still know where you are. and i have no one that i would want to be burried next to (yet at least, my parents are still alive and i'm not married or have any kids).

but if i were to die tomorrow, i would guess i would say cremate me and scatter me around the backyard of my grandfathers house so i could at least be with family. i totally dont want to be sitting on someone's fireplace or something.

Answer 5

Cremated, and no I'm not angry at death. I don't want to live to be 150, and not be able to do anything for myself. That would be miserable, there is a reason why people die. Although it is unfortunate when people die too young -so I would say I wish everyone would die satisfied after a long, happy life.

Answer 6

I'm not mad about it. Death is part of life. I wouldn't want to be here forever, it would get boring. We wouldn't appreciate life as much if it lasted forever. I hope that I do die an old lady and die a painless death, and I'm not worried about it. I think that death will be peaceful. I don't think about death too often but probably will more as I age and as I start losing friends and family to death.

Answer 7

Oh, I think of it often, but it would not do me any good thinking about death right now, will it?

Of course, I am mad that I will not experience all that life has to offer. However, that fact makes me a better person, for I do not know what is on the other side.

Answer 8

I am mad that the people I love might die before me and that i would have to live without them. But I am not mad that i will die one day. I believe in reincarnation, so this really isnt the end. And maybe next lifetime will be better.
Also, i plan on being in a mausoleum, so i wont be underground.

Answer 9

It doesn't make me mad, it's part of the life cycle. And since I believe in reincarnation, I won't be spending all that time underground, I'll be in a new life waiting for the next death.

Answer 10

I am not mad that I am going to die one day. I may not be jumping for joy at the idea right now but you know it is a realistic part of life and you just want to make sure you are ready to go. I suggest living your life the right way before you die cause it mos def. can not be avoided.

Answer 11

Not mad at all. I realized at an early age that life means death. Don't really think about it, no use wondering, won't change anything. After death, life as i knew it is over!
