Does a wise person think about death whereas a fool thinks only about having a good time?

Question

I've noticed as I've grown spiritually closer to Jesus, I think more about death. The same goes since I've had my son Kadin. In Eccleslastes 7:4 it says that a wise person thinks much about death whereas a fool thinks only about having a good time.

Has anyone else had this experience of thinking alot of death as you have grown closer to God?

Answer 1

I have,,,but not in a morbid way. I think of death in terms of being resurrected into a much more fulfilling and happier life. I think of death as a time to be re-united with those I love, who are no longer here. I realize that upon my death, I'll be with God and Jesus.
I still like to have a good time; but it fades by comparison, to the life that Jesus promised those who accept His sacrifice, and who follow Him.
God Bless

Answer 2

I'm sorry but a really wise person does not need to think about death,as he is well aware that is the ultimate end.It's better to replace that thought by one aimed at getting closer to God.

Answer 3

A truly wise man will equal importance to all the aspects of life, including death. Paying too much attention to only one or some aspects of life creates blurred perception of life.

Answer 4

I agree.
10 out of 10 people die.
Most of our existence will be spent on the other side of the door of death.
When Christ was raised from the dead--that was God validating everything Jesus taught and another validation that the Old Testament is from the mouth of God.
Jesus was very clear that the day of Judgement is coming. Those whose names are not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.
There is only one way through the Wrath of God--and that is Jesus. He is the new Noah's Ark.
If you're not in Christ, you're still under God's angry wrath for not believing in God's one and only Son.
I testify that when I repented from my sins and trusted in Christ's sacrifice, the Holy Spirit came into me and made me born of God--I'm a new creature with new desires--the Word of God and His righteousness.
If I never thought of death, I'd still be afraid of it. Now that I'm in Christ, I can't hardly wait to walk through that door because I will get to spend eternity with God.
It's exciting and makes problems in this life amplify my desire for my eternal home.
God is good all the time.
If you hate thinking about death, repent and believe in Jesus' sacrifice for your sins. Read John 3--it explains these things.

Then continue reading the rest of God's love letter to you--all 66 books.
May you be blessed--blessed indeed!

Answer 5

You can't avoid death and no matter how twisted your imagination is, you will not avoid the finality and void of non-existence that death brings to all of us. Why waste precious time alive worrying about something you can't change or wish away through some make-believe god and some non-existent afterlife?

Answer 6

I don't think much about death except to keep my paperwork in order. But I am content with my life so death doesn't make me afraid when I do think about it.

However, if I had cancer, I would fight it - life is precious, too.

There are probably many ways of thinking about it, some more healthy than others.

Answer 7

I prefer to believe that a wise person thinks about living,and how to live well,so that once he is no longer living, that he leaves a positive legacy, leaves the world at least a tiny bit better because he lived.

Answer 8

I think about the minute I am in....why dwell on death....that maybe a sign of mental health issues???

Answer 9
