Question

what are your views on Death?

Answer 1

continuity of life

Answer 2

Everyone with a healthy emotionality is afraid of death. And rightly so. No one wants to know what it feels like to die. Suffocating, having your heart stop, bleeding to death, being ravaged by disease or any of the other ways you can die all sound very unpleasant. Many people are also afraid of the consequences of death, the effects of their death on the world or what their fate will be in the afterlife. That is why people come up with religious and spiritual beliefs that sugar coat the consequences of death. People want to believe that they will go to heaven, or that their dead loved ones spirits still influence life, even though there is absolutely no evidence to support this type of thinking. Personally, I see death as inevitable and final. True, my dead body will be consumed by other organisms and thus continue as part of the ecological cycle, but I won't be conscious of that process. Since death is going to happen and is truly the end, it gives me more reason to live this life how I want, because I only get one shot. Why not try to learn and have as much fun as I can before its over? I can also understand how people would take the finality of death as something that strips our existence of meaning, but I think they are expecting too much out of this life. We don't choose to live, we don't decide the circumstances we are born into and most of us are concieved by accident, so why do people expect this life to have a higher purpose? I guess it comes back to death and peoples' wish for it not to be final. People cannot really concieve nonexistence so most fear it. It would be hard to welcome it. So I guess my official stance on death is one of apathy. I accept it and realize that I can't care about anything once I'm dead.

Answer 3

Mast: My views on death are, that death is a temporary state of being, where one is asleep. I believe, that since energy can neither, be created nor destroyed, humans are energy and will be resurrected eventually, when his or her Creator returns to this earth. Death is transitory [temporary].

Answer 4

Death is the only thing in life that is guaranteed - birth is nothing but the beginning of your death!
Make peace with it, 'coz it'll get you regardless.

I believe that death is the ultimate feeling of release. A "breathing out" if you will.

Answer 5

We only die to the observers here on Earth. God has the reconstruction formula for our bodies and personalities. So death is simply an earthly death but not our eternal death.
