will death be boring?

Question

after all it may be billions of years before we become self conscious again.

Answer 1

It all depends how you see it, relativity my friend. "Death only scares'', it is the fullness of life, without death life can not exist, for everything born and alive sometime must die, or change, what comes after is only for the crazy minds to think.

Answer 2

There's a Terry Pratchett book in which Death takes a holiday, which you might enjoy. I'd be confused, for sure- I don't believe Death is 'a person' so the whole experience would be something of a shock. I'd also probably live my life fairly normally, especially at first, because I wouldn't be 100% confident I was immortal, so I'd try not to die, just in case Death was joking.

Answer 3

Ummmm... why? are you planning on being alive after you die? Does that even make sense? When you're dead, you're dead, end of story, your brain will rot away along with all your memories, senses and anything you ever had that physically and mentally connected you to this world. I'm sorry but i don't believe in the after life, i believe when it's over it's over. And what do you mean by millions of years before we become conscious again? Are you planning on a resurrection? if so, please give us your secret because we'll all be interested in knowing how you'll pull that off. And don't worry, death doesn't hurt, only dying (if you're unlucky that is, i mean if it happens fast and you don't even see it coming then... well you get my point)

Answer 4

It will be billions of years before we
regain our awareness of life. Maybe
even billions of light years.
But it won't be boring. In fact, the time
will pass in the blink of an eye.

I have to believe that space travel is
right around the corner. And real space
travel will parallel birth and death. We
will need to strip time and space from
bosons (energy bits) to make galaxy
travel feasible.

Answer 5

The billions of years in the speculation about death … this cannot be correct. This is not supported by our experience in life and therefore is unproven. The argument I like to present here is that life is an unbroken sequence of events in our experience, whereas the fact of this sequence is even more consistent in the nature of all things. There is just one thing in existence that only we experience in a number of different ways. Everything is linked through a thread of cause and effect: life, birth, growth, death, and then life again in yet another form. Similarly all things in existence are interlinked: there could not have been apples if there were no pollen bearing insects, if there were no sunshine, and if there were no air and soil.

If then life is without unnatural breaks and gaps within its sanctums how death that is but a condition in life be any different in terms of all things passing on from one stage to the other in the same existence. Death, I do not think, was imposed upon the nature of things from somewhere else. I think death was born with life, and it will die when life will. This could be one way to justify the tyranny of death in life that death will die itself when it will cause life to end in this world.

And then existence without death could not be a life as we know it now, a life subjected to an end. That life might be a life endless in existence, not only lasted in durations of countable numbers of years but life in the essence of being itself.

It is however very thoughtful of you to mention the process of restoration of consciousness taking billions of years in evolution of human life on earth. But again there is no solid proof in life that by dying we will retrograde into same primitive form yet again; we might ascend into a heavenly state of being in some other dimension, or descend into agonising and hellish realisation of our failures on earth for that matter – there cannot be a hell without a consciousness of it being there.

And in direct response to your main question – will death be boring, I think not. The only point I would like to make is the death is death as long as it has not come. The power induced by the thoughts of death, the dire realisations, bother, fear and anxiety caused by them, the things that the fear of death make us do is, all this is phenomenal, invaluable and extraordinary part of ordinary human life. Life on earth would be meaningless and unbearable burden if it were to be endured forever. There is not point of future in death and therefore no point of asking – will death be boring, mainly for the reasons I mentioned in the second paragraph. The question however can be asked – is death boring?

Death is just a timeless void between two steps between two dimensions of the same existence, one step being the life we have, and the next, the life we aspire up to and work towards while being alive.
Live long and prosper, may God Almighty be merciful!

Answer 6

I don't think it will be boring.


Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 7

Depends where you die.

You might find Derek Acorah or the team from Most Haunted pestering the living daylights out of you. I suppose that could spice things up a bit though.
