I think about death.

[david13]

And I think it probably won't bother me very much. At least if it does, I won't realize it, what with being dead and all.
If death is like sleep, a pleasant escape from this contaminated world, with all it's problems, then I probably won't mind.
I'm in no hurry, at least not right now.
But it may be like they say, Peace in the Valley.
I probably could enjoy that.
I'm not afraid of it, I mean, it's inevitable. And you only go once, so that's not much to fear.
And I'm somewhat of a loner, or at least I enjoy my own company. So I don't have to create any imaginary friends to go with me.

1. Interesting

Thought this was going to be a copycat.

Imaginary friends? Never had those either!

2. I think about it too sometimes

Mostly at times like right now when I have a lot of free time but I don't do anything with it. I don't think of it in a suicidal way, but more like Billy in that Sheryl Crow song, "All I wanna do is have one day of fun before I die," or something like that.

3. I'm not afraid of it either.

I'm just not quite ready to leave this life just yet ;)

I've got enough to do (and try out) to keep me busy for a thousand years! Or it seems like that sometimes :P

4. makes you wonder ..

Does DEATH think about us?

[david13]

8. Kimi. Death is out to get each and every one of us. And will, too. dc

10. I can see Ryuk!

I don't remember touching the Deathnote though. I don't know, I'm not sure I could handle having a shinigami follow me around...they're all kind of creepy looking.

5. Here's what I think...there is no afterlife

three years ago I fucked up my ankle pretty bad slipping on ice...it required emergency surgery. They put me under...I remember laying on the operating table when they were just about to administer the anesthetic...they asked me to count backwards from ten, then, it was like I blinked my eyes like I woke up from a short nap...total blackness...no awareness, no nothing...just nothingness.....the nurse was standing there staring at me, like she was expecting me to wake up at that time. She told me the operation was over, and they were moving me to outpatient rehab something-or-other ( post-op maybe ). The time I was under I wasn't even aware of that time...much like the time before I was born....much like the time before you were born

that is death, to me...no awareness of anything..

[david13]

6. That was my surgical experience. They rolled me out and I thought

oh, no, they didn't do it, I have to come back. Then I realized they did it and I wasn't there. I was gone.
Nonexistant.

7. Yup...kind of creepy to some but I look at it as comforting in a way

call me morbid, but every now-and-then I look at this thing we call "life" and consider it to be a boring repetition of bullshit...worries, sorrows, stress...etc...whatever. I won't get into this further, I better not

14. Little different experience here.

Went into congestive heart failure due to entire body filling up with fluids while I was receiving an out patient treatment. They put me into a drug induced coma where I remained for days. While under I had an awareness of what was happening around me plus dreams that I am sure was induced by the drugs and my own fear of what was happening, plus sometimes I felt I was outside my body watching what was happening. If there is anything such as a hell, I was in it. I lost all track of time and place. What took place in days seemed like years to me.

When I finally came out of the coma, I had no idea of where I was or how much time has passed. It took me days to come to terms with what was real and just where I was. I would never want to repeat that experience, although I am thankful that the doctors did what they did to keep me alive.

I don't fear death but I fear what comes after it. I just want peace, no after life for me please.

9. I think what I fear most about death is how it will hurt my family.

I hope to go when I am old, and I have seen my daughter (and hopefully at least one more kid in the future) grow up and be happy. And hopefully both of my parents will have already passed. I don't want them to go because I need them, but I also don't want them to have to bury another child. I am a Christian, so I believe that I will have a wonderful "life" after death, so my only fear is what I leave behind. I want to believe that I am loved enough that it would hurt my friends and family, but I also don't want any hurt going on, if that makes any sense. Life should be celebrated. It is hard to celebrate life when you are hurting so much, but life should be celebrated.

11. I contemplate death frequently as I'm on a spiritual path (I wish

there was another way to say that because it sounds so cliche'). Anyway, IMHO, I think that we're all energy and that energy doesn't cease to exist, it changes form-when we die. I'm actually looking forward to what's on the other side. I've had quite a few paranormal experiences that have me pretty much convinced, at least for me, that there's a lot more "out there."

12. I wish I had the guts to embrace it

13. Nothing lasts forever.

Not youth, not life, or even cold Novemenr rain... :)
