I'm against it.
Obviously, I'm joking.
I've had too many people die around me to think of this as just
a hypothetical thing - it is a natural part of the cycle of
life and all the rest of that B.S. ... and frankly for some people,
it would seem to be a relief because they are so tired or in so
much pain.
I can easily imagine getting so tired that I just don't want to
play anymore thank you very much. I'm not there, but I do
feel closer to that feeling than, say, a year ago.
Mostly, I think it has to do with how good you feel - and a lot
of that is obviously based on your health. If you are active,
involved in a lot of things and can keep away from the morbid
jaws of depression, most people would "rather not" for right
up until it happens.
However, having had a number of people die around me and
not being incredibly athletic and occasionally suffering from
depression - the idea isn't as bad as perhaps it "should" be.
However, I think I'll live another day. If I must.

Funny you should ask that. I was just thinking about how we are always one heartbeat away from death. S**t happens. You could get hit by a car, your furnace could spring a leak and blow up, taking you with it. Some nitwit shooting his gun into the air on New Year's Eve could get you. Your appendix could burst while you're on a camping trip and your camping partner took the car to go into town for supplies and there's no cell reception. Get the idea? So the deal is to plan for your future, but live in the moment, for it may be your last. Personally, I'm not enjoying the prospect of death, though at my age it's getting way too close for comfort. But it's getting to where it'll be a welcome relief. Wish I were 36 again!

In my darker moments i just think i could die tomorrow of a heart attach or a bike crash or something.
I suffer with depression on and off, and i thinking about death doesnt particulary faze me. Its an eventualty that will happen.
More importantly is what i do with the time i have got.... that i havnt worked out yet!.
Relationship with a new partner isnt the answer, as relationships come and go.
Surrounding my self with possessions isnt the answer either
Traveling the world doesnt interest me and the expense is off-putting!.
Religion etc doesnt interest me at all, without insulting anyones views.. its defiantly not for me

It used to terrify me, but as I have gotten older I realised it is a part of the life cycle. No one is immune to death even the rich and famous. It is probably the one thing every person on earth has in common with everyone else. I do hope there is something after death though. I will just have to wait and see.

Easy question as it is in the future, and not necessarily the distant future, I have no problem with dying but I am concerned about doing so before my sons are grown. I trust however that God knows best and if I am called home He will look after my sons.

I'm cool about where I'm going, I met with God and gave my life to Jesus so I'm certain of eternity with him. I'm not so certain about the way I'm going to die, I simply know that God will give me what I need to get through it when the time comes. I don't want to go before my kids are grown up, and I enjoy the work I do here for Jesus, but heaven will be a great place, so I guess I'm ok with it all.

I'm looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not suicidal. I want to do all the things God wants me to do in this life and then go on to Eternal Life. All this we have here is just so much pre-amble. It's the hors-deuvre before the feast, the Departure Lounge before the holiday. I have to go through the training God is giving me, build up love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, patience, humility, self control. I have to learn to love all (even those that hate me), forgive all, show mercy and judge no-one.

I'm very close to your age but I've been near death a few times, one a suicide attempt. I am comfortable with the idea of death but I don't want to accelerate it if I'm not causing anyone problems. If I ever get to the point where I can't take care of myself again, I will probably like the idea better.

You don't have to worry about your health anymore thats a plus. Also death is a great mystery that we'll all get solved so why worry about it in death you might get too meet all the family you lose throughout your life or it could be Oblivion either way works for me.

For some odd reason, this has been bugging me alot the last few months. It just makes no sense to put all this work and effort into having a successful, happy life when we're just going to die anyway and somebody else moves into my house, marries my former wife, and takes all my stuff. Just plain sucks!
