How often do you think about your own death?

Question

Also why is it the most common thing but also the least spoken about?

Answer 1

Oh thanks first time in 20 years that I have been able to forget about it and........doh ....why you go and ask now?
If you avoid looking at someone you dont like at a party they wont come over and talk to you...(is the idea) but it never works they always come and bore you in the end .....same thing with death people think if they avoid talking or thinking about it, it wont happen....go over look at it straight in the face you'v seen it before... just before you were in your mums tummy, Except now ..

Answer 2

its the least spoken about because of its sadness. I think quite often that I don't want to suffer and want a quick death. That is a better was for everyone around you as well I think. I wonder what everyone would think (maybe thats a bit selfish?). I hope I come back someway in spirit maybe to see others around me. I think my Dad is around after his death, but that is a whole other subject!

Answer 3

Some people don't like to think about death, as it's so final. They would never see another dawn nor hear the words of love from a partner. They can't grasp the fact that the world would still go round without them as if they never existed or meant very little.
Some people see death as a way out of their troubles....and think of it almost daily as being the only way out.

Je pense à la mort chaque nuit, elle ne m'effraye pas, c'est simplement un nouveau commencement et une fin à ce chapitre mortel complètement d'ennui et de mésaventure

Answer 4

Daily, at least three times daily. Its probably least spoken of because others dont need to know, its something you dont make casual conversation of and most times scares others or gets them wondering why you came up with the convo. Some may not bring it up because they dont want anyone to know they think of it, others because they think it may not be normal. All depends on the person.

Answer 6

some times more than others. the best thing to do is to do something to keep your thoughts away from it. think about death as a way to see God and live with Him Forever. Once you are comfortable with a new way of thinking the thoughts of dying may disappear..

We are all human, and it is the fear of the unknown inside that keeps us wondering. You did a good thing asking the question that everyone else is afraid to ask. Be proud of yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what is bothering you, but be careful about who you ask.

Answer 7

This is a good question.I often think at my own death,and sometimes i think how I'm going to die,but I'm trying to accept it as something natural,it is part of our lives,even if we can't accept it,this is our destiny.We are born,marry and then die.Its important to stay calm even if its hard to do that.U can get depressive and that will make u take ur life,to suicide,don't think at that,and accept it,is better.This is my advice 4 u,bye

Answer 8

I think about after my death, my time in heaven (yes I will be going there). I've written my own funeral service. It will be in my church. I've chosen the processional and recessional music, the three hymns and the three bible readings. I've also stipulated where I want to be cremated, and where my ashes are to go. I'm just gone 50. The dying part isn't too important at the moment, just the after bit.

Answer 9

I read a quote somewhere :-

Live like its your last day today.

Imagine what shall you do if you knew you were going to die tomorrow ???

I am sure you shall try to live and enjoy each and every moment, shall show your love to everybody close to you and also to everybody you could not show and even to those you hated, and try to finish all pending jobs today only and clear all the clutter.

Death is a reality and instead of running away from it, we should accept it and try our best to live our life to the fullest.

Answer 10

Most common i think because we wonder if we have done enough in life and have we left a latrge enoughimpact to not be forgotten like our relatives or friends. i think we dont often talk about it because we are scared of criticism
