If it’s feeling you’re talking about … I think it would be better to pick up the pieces, move on and cherish life as it should be. If ‘feeling dead’ refers to terminal illness, my preference is to cut short the severe sufferings.

If being dead mean feeling nothing, then feeling death is better because you are feeling something, but worse because not only are you feeling dead, but you are also mistaken because being dead does not feel like that. The dead do not feel at all. Or that's the rumour, anyway.

i think feeling dead is worse. Only because when people say they feel dead they usually mean some kind of spiritual or esoteric sort of death. I think that kind of death is far worse than the physical death.

I reckoned feeling dead is worse and worthless cos it takes one out of her present or actual life and into a state of dormancy which renders her lifeless though living. Life is all about continuity,feeling dead will make death itself come quicker,it is worse!

I've never felt dead, just very tired; I've never been dead, just heartbroken; but I have always believed that there are things much worse than death - there is very painful life, for example.

Yes, I think so. Feeling dead is dreadfull, being dead is "just a state". But the process of dying may not be a piece of cake (my mum went through that 2 weeks ago; I am not her, I am only guessing).

It can be both.
It depends on your deepest fear of what death could be like. For me, it would be burned alive. Then again, think of suicide, what if you did something then felt at your last breathe, 'oh I f&*#d up!" and then you die. --- yipe!
Death itself may be an eternal bliss or living hell depending on your religious beliefs.
The point is. We are gonna all die anyway at some point, why push it? Live your life as best that you know how, and figure it out when you die as are meant to die. Don't push it.

i think death is the ultimate end to what we know... you can't come back from death as you can from feeling dead. so while death would be an end to apathy, so can be life...
emotions can and will always change, making them a preferable state than irreversible death.

No, because as long as you are still alive, there is a chance to change it all and live the life you want. Once you are dead, your options become rather limited.

Feeling is a ball of **** because you are always sufferering, thinking, but if you were death, you wont have to have any feeling.
