What if the only reason we die, is that we accept it as an inevitability?

Answer 1

I agree with you...

I have a theory that as long as I keep telling myself to never give up never surrender and keep on fighting I can survive no matter what. It has been observed over the years that people can survive amazing things if they don't give up.

Discovery channel had a short segment about a man who was disarming old mines in third world countries when he missed one and it blew his leg and arm off and it took an hour for a rescue helicopter to get there by all accounts he SHOULD have been dead he had lost so much blood he was running on empty but he told himself he had to live to see his family again and he did.

I plan to put this theory to the test sometime in the far future :) I'll let you know how it pans out.

Answer 2

But what about all those people who don't accept death as inevitable? The people in denial, who think they are invincible? They die anyway. I realize that most of them probably accept death as inevitable on a subconcious level at least, but surely there must have existed one person in the world, at some point it time, that did not.

Answer 3

While that is an interesting concept...I don't think it's possible at all. Why would young children die then? Children don't understand death and cannot accept it as inevitable. And our natural reaction to death is to act like it dosen't exist...as if not thinking or talking about it makes us invincible to it. Or if we talk about..it makes ours that much closer and more real. And few people every really admit anything about death to themselves, they always try to hide it, ignore it.

Answer 4

for me
there is no question of not accepting this phenomenon
i.e. death
it is inevitable.
and now asking your question in my head that.... we only die because we do not accept that we can change how long we shall live....
for me ....
there are things written in heaven ad earth....
and we are a part of that scribbling...
we die because of one simple fact... mortality...
which is the ground brick of this life...
we are born and we shalld die....one day
whether we choose to live a hundered years
death shall cross our path no matter what...

and trust me none of us will be able to even breath if we know that this life would go on.....

death is a comfort that we shall come out of this coffin of our body.. its a promise of freedom

and yes it is inevitable truth..
it applies on EVERYHTING that exists in our knowledge...besides GOd of course..

Answer 5

I am sure not every body accepted it as an inevitability.

But the outcome, alas, was the same.

Answer 6

Oh yeah? what if, where we were before this, we asked the same question? Like, "gosh do I really have to be born? can't I just stay here?" Death isn't really death anyway, it's simply a change in conciousness. Possibly it's not just a change but some kind of evolution. So, are you saying you do not want to evolve? Think about it.

Answer 7

We all die whether we accept it as inevitable or no..

Answer 8

Well, as I see it everything in this universe is in a constant state of change, and death is just one of the different types of change we go through. We may be able to alter its timing but the hardware just wears out after a time.
Besides, what if death is not a bad thing?

Answer 9

I accepted death as inevitable LONG ago . . . and am still very much alive. In fact, I feel better in my forties than I did in my thirties.

Answer 10

well we do live to die but what is death but another rebirth to bring knowledge gained from here back to where we came death is only for the living dead people have no attachment thats why its so important to learn our lessons and grow or our life for our kids will be worse
