The 'Big 4' of metal are playing sonisphere festival in the UK this summer. I see that and I can do whatever I like with the rest of my life since nothing else will matter.

OT: Yes and no.
Yes because I'd REALLY like to know how the story (of the universe) ends.
No because...if we didnt die everything would be come meaningless. Things have value because they are not eternal.
I laughed at this too, hehe, who knew talking about death could be so funnyRhombusHatesYou said:

OT: I see death a some kind of freedom, all the misery of the world slips of your shoulders, that said, I still enjoy living.
I'm not sad about it. Everybody is going to die at some point after all. I'm not in the mood to hasten it any though and its not something that I tend to dwell on. It's a fact of life like the sky being blue, birds tweeting or people whining on the internet.

Eh. I know when it'll be, sort of (10~15 years at the latest), so I've had some time to come to terms with it. Sure, it's not great. It certainly does bother me sometimes, but I'm more or less over it.
That said, I have rearranged my life around it. Mostly ditching a great deal of any plans for that silly "future" thing most people apparently have. Almost everyone apparently gets one, so I just had to rebel, you know how kids my age are.

Nope. Live my life the way I wish, and live it to the fullest I can.
Death is inevitable. Why waste the rest of my time worrying about what will come regardless of what I do?

there is nothing you can do about it freezing yourself is only postponing it I sort-off made peace with it its not something I,m looking forward to but I cant stop it
Depends. Dying in a horribly painful way is obviously something that I want to avoid, but being instantly killed by something like an explosion I have no problem with. I'm not really depressed about dying of natural causes, I think eventually I might get bored with life. If I was suddenly stuck in a position where choosing my own death is the only option, I like to think that I'd take it in stride, no 'why meeeee?' complaining or last minute calls to a deity. I'd probably just smoke all the cigarettes I had on me, attempt to say something witty, and then get it over with.
Might be a nice change of pace. I mean, I've been alive for, like, my entire life, death might be pleasant and exciting.

I've sort of just accepted that I'm going to die and that it can happen at any time. I just want to spend as much time in life doing the things I like to do. And if I'm lucky I might die on a high note. But I really don't care, it's (hopefully) some time away..
I'll try to keep religion out of this as much as possible, but since my beliefs are such a deep part of me, it may be hard. I intend to enjoy this life as much as possible, experience as much as I can, and leave as many people as I can with good memories of me. I believe that there's more to existence than this one life, but if there isn't, I won't be aware of it, so it doesn't particularly worry me.
The only thing about the thought of dying that gives me pause comes from my belief in reincarnation. Even if I come back, I won't be me. I only get one life; one life with my friends, one life with my fiancee. Once I die, no matter what comes next, I'll be dead.
I'm not afraid of death, I'm actually rather intrigued by it. But, yeah, I am a bit sad that Shaun will only get to walk this planet once, and more than a third of it has probably gone by already.

Not at all, in fact I'm glad I'm eventually going to die. And before you ask, no I'm not depressed in anyway. I love my life and the people close to me a lot.
However the thought that my life is finite only works as a stimuly to make the most of it. I would get extremely depressed if I turned out / became immortal. What would be the point of life then?
Other then that I'm extremely curious about what happens after dead. A great part of me understands that quiet well, but the part of me that choices to believes in souls doesn't know.

I'm fine with it. Life is a journey and it is an act of self delusion to not consider that one day it will end and relax and be at peace with that.
I just don't want it to hurt and I don't want it to linger. Other than that, I know it is coming. It doesn't fill my mind all the time. Shrug and move on.

Yes, I really, really do not want to die. At least, not if I can avoid it all-together. Funny enough though, knowing I will some day die makes me apathetic towards life in general. Why bother? In 50 years or so (if I'm lucky), I'll be dead, everything I ever did will be forgotten, and the fact that I was a nice guy is all that people wil talk about. I don't care if I die because it's inevitable, but if I could prevent it... yeah, life might have some meaning.
