I might not be here next year. How many times have I heard that? Of course I never took the comment too seriously but I think about it a lot now. I don't really know how my Grandma walked around so happy knowing the things she knew. That older people die. That we all die. But it's not that which got me. It?s the way she can still live knowing that one day she would die. It?s the same with me. One day I will die. I don't know when or where or how, but it will happen. It has to happen to us all.

Now I don't know about you but after checking that through and even whilst typing it, it got me thinking. It?s so true I almost want to believe it isn?t, just for the comfort in believing it wont all end one day. But it will.

How did you feel after reading my rather deep and depressing post? Have you got anything to say that is along the same lines of deep thoughts?

I have already thought about this before and thinking about it a while I finally decided that I don't care if I die or not, because I shouldn't become obsessed with the idea I should just live while I can.

Thanks, here it is Friday afternoon, with a three day weekend to look forward to, and me [/i]not[/i] feeling depressed for the first time in about a week since school started this week, and now you come in trying to reverse all that?

Actually, it didn't work. I still have a three-day weekend. So I'll give my reply to that depressing and horribly true thought: tough shit. If you have such a problem with it, that's what suicide is for.

Though I suppose it is a shame those are our only two options.

I've thought about it alot. But I've come to conclusion of not caring. Its going to happen one day so why worry? Just get on with life and enjoy it while you've got it.

All the more reason to enjoy life while it lasts. I don't mean drugs and stuff, but go out and have fun. Meet people, fall in love, don't worry about dieing

I suppose it is something you try not to think about, or try to re-interpret the brute fact into something better like- "you live only once, so make the most of life" or, as Dawkins did, pointed out that the chances of you yourself existing are a billion to one, yet you existed, so you should be grateful for space between non-existence.


I was gazing at the full moon last night, and while i was thinking how beautiful it was it crossed my mind that I, a physical being am part of this universe just like the moon. I am a conscious part of the universe, looking back on itself and admiring it. I don't know if that is relevant, but it was one of the more unusual thoughts i have had recently, and seems vaguely relevant.

"Death is just another path; one that we all must follow" - Gandalf the White.

This quote always had an effect on me, and its how I feel about death.

It's interesting how I can brush off thoughts about my inevitable death so easily. I think about it for five minutes and almost cry until someone drops a shiny coin and I get distracted. And I don't think death is so bad if you've lived your life to the fullest. I know somebody who was dead for around two seconds and then snapped out of it. Don't know how, but you know what she thought about it? She thought it was magnificent. True bliss.

I drink the blood of virgins and new born babies which means I'm good for eternity.
if those are separate things then children are really being messed up nowadays.

meh, i don't particularly care about my life much. one day it will be over, true, but whatever, it's completely unavoidable. all i can do is make sure i go out on my own terms.

You and everyone you know or ever will know is going to die someday. Sad, but true. What's worse is that no matter how famous you become in life, you will be forgot after you die. In the end, It's as if you never existed at all. For that reason, enjoy life while you have it. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we could all be dead!

(That's not true...Just look at Alexander the Great, Gilgamesh, RamessesI-XI...I could list a ton more but I think I got my point across...)

EDIT: I really don't care about dying. (I forgot to answer the original question.) XD

I'm dead already...

Of course I had to make that joke.
But on topic, I already know I will die already and have known that for a while. This post summarizes it pretty well:

This man had the right idea, live well while you can.

How many names do you think you can name of ordinary people who lived a thousand years ago? a hundred years ago? Regular people don't get remembered. Famous people have there memory live on for longer but in time even they will be forgot.
