Are you sad that you're going to eventually die?

Till I had my fun and my dreams are complete. God rest my soul for an afterlife that i spend hours thinking of. 
Well considering the fact when I die I'm coming back to haunt everyone, death isn't to depressing for me.
Well, this thread is what finally made me register, congratulations.
I remember when I first realized this. I was young, probably not even double-digits, and it was late at night when my parents had already gone to sleep. I crawled out of bed, in tears, and woke my parents up crying "I'm going to die someday." Sorry mom, I'm sure that was a little unnerving.
But, after being tucked back in, I concluded it wasn't worth worrying about. But I've been thinking about this subject a lot lately, and I've found it still terrifies me. I don't want to die. I've played RPGs, I know immortality and agelessness is overrated, and I understand that the looming shadow of death is what keeps people productive and gives them purpose, but that's no comfort to me.
I don't want to die and have the world trudge on without me. I enjoy life, and I don't want it to end. I want to see all the things to come in the future.
But, seeing how most of the replies have been either "It's silly to worry about that" or "I try not to think about it", I get the impression this isn't something you're ever supposed to be comfortable with.
In the end, I guess the best you can do is not let the fear of death interfere with your life. I'm still working on that.

I dont fear death, i only fear on how it will come. Death shall be bliss, but the moments leading up to it i can only hope shall be fast.
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.
I have the comedic stylings.tzimize said:I laughed at this too, hehe, who knew talking about death could be so funnyRhombusHatesYou said:
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?
