Sometimes, we wish we could live forever...

But other times, it's a relief that we will die one day, and our misery or sorrow will be gone for good.


Supposing you knew exactly when you would die, what will you think of before you leave this world forever?

Life hurts and pain makes you grow. I won't miss this world, but I'd be preparing so that I don't do the same mistakes in the next.

Speaking as a person that actually did die (revived by fire personel), I can tell you that there is little real thinking about anything that is going on let alone what I was going to miss the most.

I remember the event "fairly" well and I just know that it was a good thing that I could not talk. The person that was in the room with me was asking me if I was all right. Had I of been able to talk, I would have said that yes, I am fine. Wierd huh?

~~~ Should we be thinking of all the rotton stuff that occurred in our lives so we'll be happy to go? Or make our last moments here more enjoyable by remembering the happier things we experienced? The latter sounds more reasonable. Since I would know the exact time of my death,I would probably have my favorite music playing (Bob Marley) and just kick back and visualize my times I enjoyed with my husband (R.I.P.) and my favorite cat (R.I.P.) and hope to see them after I exit stage left. I mean die. That's what I'd do if I knew I was going to die in my near future. If it turns out to be ten years from now, maybe I'll like some different kind of music. Who knows. Does'nt really matter what I do.......nobody gets out of this life alive. ~~~

Self-pity is the route to misery and sorrow. When we choose to stop feeling sorrow for ourself, we then have a different experience of the world.

My death will not likely happen for decades.

Some of the most famous philosophers struggled with depression. Philosophy can be a magnet for this.

I would have wanted to live a good life, a moral life and I would have wanted to tasted success but not have let it gone to my head. In any case if I were to die when I was old say like 70 then I would be happy to leave since they say those are the golden years when you are old I really cannot imagine them being too nice since one is old and wrinkled and sick by then.

certain, I keep in mind 2 previous lives. both very distinct. it isn't a lot a remembering, it truly is better a sensation that i became unquestionably re-experiencing that distinct fragment of the previous existence again. All senses were very acute in the course of the adventure. I felt i became there in no uncertain words. i might want to work out, contact, scent, experience sensations. experience warm, thirsty. i might want to also experience each of the sentiments again in the course of the adventure that i must have felt the first time round. both my previous existence reports were the perfect minutes of both those lives. One became no longer provoking even although i became purely 14 after I died in an coincidence. It became interesting because i might want to work out the female who were my mom in that existence status crying over my body. yet i became now no longer in my body, i became soaring above it. I succeeded in looking this position and travelling it. I even discovered the nook save the position our kin had once lived approx 60 years in the past, because in the course of the adventure I were given names, places, tiny information, so i became in a position to hint down the region. the second one existence I experienced i rather can't talk of. it truly is previous the geographical areas of danger that absolutely everyone might want to even remotely trust me and that i do not want to ask even better ridicule than i'm likely to get already. i will in simple terms say that i became no longer in human type. contained in the East reincarnation is in simple terms common, yet no longer the following contained in the West, because it conflicts with Orthodox Christian beliefs. even though it truly is a imperative guiding idea interior of maximum folk of Indian non secular traditions which incorporates Hinduism and Jainism. also Kabbalah, and Gnostic and Esoteric Christianity. The Buddhist idea of Rebirth is fairly diverse to the Hindu traditions, so possibly can't be lined. some historic Greek philosophers said it also. So i do not discover it a wierd theory in any respect.

I will remember that life is a journey and part of that journey was always leading to my eventual demise relinquishing the physical form that is what I am, but not necessarily who I am. I will graduate to a plane of existence beyond this one, and in doing so, I will realize that much like life there is another unknown adventure that is awaiting me.

In one of Terry Prachett's books, a person who has just died asks DEATH whether this is the part where his life flashes before his eyes and DEATH replies "No, that was the part you just went through." So life is a flash and the remainder is eternity.
ST BEDE'S DEATH SONG (Modern Translation)
Before the unavoidable journey there, no one becomes wiser in thought than him who, by need, ponders, before his going hence, what good and evil within his soul, after his day of death, will be judged.

Thats easy, I know I wont miss this world when I get to the next. I hope the ones I love will come with me, but I will remember how Jesus died for me and how I accepted his gift of eternal salvation.

How on earth would anyone know that? Do we book in a certain memory for that moment or something? I think life is a little bit more random than that.
