What are your thoughts on death? Do you fear it? Or do you embrace it with open arms? Rebirth? A better place?

i dont fear it or embrace it. when u die u die lol. not sure if i belive in life after death or not so... live life to the fullest. just my opinin

Why should you fear it we all will die one day so embrace it all it means is no more pain of the earth anf the ppl in it

I think death is just a phase of life, I think our choices and circumstances determine if we move on, haunt, or are reborn... I embrace death, I dont welcome it but I honor it, respect it, when my time comes I will accept it... Like a Samurai facing the sword, I will bow to it, and nothing else...

I dont like to think of death. Its the waste of time we ahve here!

death, its inevitable so there is no reason to fear it, its like fearing growing old, it will happen and so why fear it? also i see death as an escape. but i have no idea what happens after death, but i dont belive i should ponder on it or i will waste my pre-death. but i dont belive in the christian heaven and hell.

well i definatly dont fear death. and im waiting for it to come for me, but untill then im stuck here. and i know you might be thinking well you can just kill yourself, but thats really just to much work. but i think after you die you just dont exist anymore.

its just a phase of existence really. from each moment to the next it takes place within all of us.

Life, Death, Rebirth L - V - X

I no longer fear it, I've been so close to Death so many times now, that when it does happen I might actually enjoy it. But no I'm not lookin gto go any time soon, to much fun still to have

I don't fear it, I'm just gonna take it as it comes...

i do not fear death i mean it will one day get me out of this hell hole that has so nicely ben named earth........
i write abourt it alot i actually thought about takeing it upon my self alot but that is how it goes i am no longer in to sucide but i would love to die

I suppose everyone has a kind of 'natural' fear of the unknown, for examply death and ghosties and ghoulies. But Im not sure if I am afraid of death or not. I suppose when I do go, I wish to go after I have had a good life and am relatively old...

for me, life and death are one and the same, only the patterns of your soul energy differ.

this is why I do not wish to be cremated.

i fear paine, not to die...

I agree with so gothic... I think I fear pain too more than I do death..

I belive in rebirth

I don't fear death,I fear what would happen next.I also fear pain too.

I don't ignore the possibilty that there's re-carnation or heaven and hell,or underworld and whatever.I just wish I would disappear forever when I'll die.

Death is simply part of the journey of life....

Many paths intersect on this journey, teaching us various lessons.

So mote it be.

I agree with Hawk2 death is merely another path along an endless journey.

We live we die we are reborn.

I welcome death with open arms. I do not know where we go when we die nor do I have any Idea.

i dont fear it, i dont want there to be an after life for me or anything like that but i do wonder wat might come after death

It is a path I neither fear nor embrace. If there is something on the otherside, great, see you there. But I don't know what to believe.
I have done so many things, that could have brought me there. Could have killed me. I am not longer fool harder, nor do I long to find out.
When it happens, I am ready for it. Till then, there is no use worrying about it.
It will happen to everone. No one can live forever.

Damn typo demon!

No longer fool HARDY. Not Harder.

;)

Is it just me or I'm having DE JA VU's about Death threads?

Not just you King....but at least these threads have nice answers in them.

;)

haha!

death is a part of life. It happens to all of us eventually. I do not fear it, nor do I embrace it. Although it is a good friend of mine. **shrugs** Oh well.

not really afraid of it just rather it didnt happen for a very long time...

I dont really fear death or embrace it. I try not to think that i may not be here tomorrow. That all lies in the hands of whatever fate i choose

I don't really fear death, but I don't embrace it either... I've never really thought about it actually, so I'm not that sure on what to think.

it's a part of life. an inverse and continuation in what one could possibly consider a different colour. ascension to something beyond. i haven't died so i cannot exactly say what. the only death i fear is the death of genius and hope.

I personally am not scared of death, when it comes my turn, i will open my arms to embrace death

Death to others that I hold close to my heart, that I fear. I know that they will live on as a spirit in my heart, but there will no longer be anyone to embrace, to talk, share memories with, that will be gone

I fear death for loved ones but not for myself

Do you wait for death to embrace you?
Or do you 'help' death find you?

Also, something to think about...One's personal development in this lifetime will affect one's situation in the after-life, and it will determine one's future - whether it be to reincarnate in this world (in a worse, similar or better condition than one is now) or to fulfill one's potential by moving on to higher purposes and responsibilities.

So if how you have spent your time upon Gods computer game, has a impact on your afterlife.. the i bet their are a few worried people reading this right now!

i think i believe in the "time".death know whene to come.it feels us, so each person is taken by death at it's own time.(i hope you understand me).
i think that we all will go there some where we never been before.
good night.

Death why fear it. It happens to everyone. No need to embrace it you get nothing in return. Why look forward to rebirth when all you do is start to head in the path of death again, why do it again. If I die I hope I stay dead wouldn't want to do it again. I see death as making up on the rest you didn't get when you lived. Lived and stayed awake to do and see everything possible. It's like I heard to sleep is to die !!

Ah.. and this is a fitting point for one of my fav quotes...
We thought her dying whilst she slept and sleeping when she died - Thomas Hood (1799-1845)

Why fear rest ? Why embrace it? .. I care not.. death is a part of life.. a stepping stone.. take it as it is...

Death = Transformation

death is a moving experience, if he touches someone you have held close for many years you are struck by a feeling that you cant write about or even think about, sadness and pain are nothing compared to what you feel, but like it has been said its the only thing in life a person can be sure of.

Death is unavoidable. We either lead ourselves to it or we wait for our time to pass onto the next life. Death doesn't really have a form, but a fate. I embrace Death because in the end, that's the only toll you pay.. Your life.

Hmmm interesting topic, I agree with many things said here... I can't really say that I fear it, I know it is inevitable... therefore... when it happens it happens, I would have to say that when I really sit down and think about it... yanno like whilst laying down... drifting to sleep I fear most... the things I will not have done... so I try to live each day doing the things I want to...

Im a Marine, and i am not afraid of death, everybody dies, i dont think that it is death itself that ppl are afraid of, its how they are going to die, and how much pain will be involved....

I think it would be awesome to see an endless feild of bodies, not to mention the smell...

i wish i know what death really is. i am doubtful for i do not know what lies next to it. for those people who know and have witnessed what is really death, too bad they're not already existing to tell us the whole mystery

I laugh in the face of death ha ha ha ha

Death is nothing to laugh at, it takes and gives depending how you look at it, its to be respected or feared, one or the other...

Scares the wholey hell outta me. After you hit that casket you can't bounce around and do what you used to do. Your kicking dirt on the other side. Then the bugs come and you start to rot. Thats just not something I want to welcome.

*raises eyebrow*

I dont fear my death. I just fear the death of ones i love, because that is few. I fear nothing their is absolutely nothing to fear. I believe in reincarnation. I believe in a spirit that seems to bind us all in some way or another. Their may be a god, i think he just watches i don't believe he tries to help. As if we are all just science experiments. I have been involved with death at a young age. I never questioned what death was i would just question why it must. Death is something that needs to be accepted, not embraced. Embracing death isn't something anyone can do. You and death cannot be friends, unless your true will is wanting to die. Death is everything, from a sidewalk, to a plane, even a comb is death.

I don't fear death I embace it cause sooner or later it will come for all of us and when it does there will be no escape from it. So i will welcome it with open arms and accept that fact that it is my turn to die.And with that said I don't see why anyone should fear it!!

People fear death because its something that cant be controlled, something that cant be guessed, or understood, you can assume what happens next but you wont know till your there, and then you can tell no one of your enlightenment..

If i have a choice, when the time comes i will fight death. I will fight it with all my might. I won't just let it hapen. There's so much more then death.

i should have died a few times already. so i no longer fear death, and at the same time i do not want it to come. i actualy fear the death of my friends and family more than i do my own. however i know that wherever they go that they are in a better place.

No I dont fear death, but welcome it. It will happen one way or another. So why should I have fear. As far as an afterlife. No. I beleive once you are dead, that's it. You are worm food. But than again I may be wrong. One day I may find out.

well..i used to fear death but now since bush has been re-elected... id rather be dead ..im sure its a much better place

well i guess death shall serve me soon!!!!..............I'll be waiting towards the great mystery that lies ahead of it!!!!fear no death!....that's the law of the living!

Death is an interesting subject and yes we have brought it up here many times in the forums. What is death? The ending of electrical impulses in our brains which gives us our existence. But what is beyond all that? Some think nothing, a void of darkness and others feel that there is an after life or even reincarnation. I was born to die and turn back to dust. Do I fear it? Anyone that says no are fools, everybody fears it in there own way since self preservation is very strong in our minds. I don’t care if you are young, old, a derelict or a Marine we fear the unknown and what is after death is the unknown.

So in other words, yes I fear it for I do not know what will come after it. But I will not be consumed by how I am going to die, I live to live and when death comes knocking on my door and asked for me….I will take the walk with him.

to be honest i fear death the only reason for that is over a few years i have had a very vivid dream off being in a red sporty tpye car riding down the road next thing i see is pure white it may sound crazy but i feel thats how i am going to die by sudden impact i guess thats good i wont feel anything i have 3 kids though i dont want to die before they are old enough to be on there own thats why i fear death

I sometimes think about it and realize that its something that none of us are going to escape .Sometimes we fear what we dont understand or know So I guess dying is an unknown mystery to us all .We will be with everyone else who has gone to where ever ahead of us So maybe you can hang on to that Live love and laugh

It's not like I want to die, but knowing that I will die someday and accepting that fact, gives me the strength to face death. I do not fear it.

Death = worm food....~smiles~

Remember people recycle...recycle...recycle...~giggles~

Death is a part of life. When it comes for me, I will not fear it. I will go unblinking into the great beyond.

Hell , Ima' comin' ! :D

To be of deathh it is for the intended to on surface tension of ones thought turning inside out with intended to be that same surface tension of first preceived.

A lot of people on this site are athiests--all dressed up with no where to go--- a lot more are practicing magicians who create there own place after death. As for myself I don't really fear it, everyone has a time and there really is no cheating death. plus in less than three years I have lost 2 dearly loved family members and while I mourn them I know that thier religious belief allowed them to be in a better place. Fear death...no. Embrace it...no. Wait for it...yes...

One should not fear death but embrace it when your story has come to a close

death will come for us all in time so why worry about it ???? Enjoy what you have as a mortal because when you are undead things change ....

i fear it for i will have to face god when he ask me what i have done for him...i wouldn't know what to say...so i live in that fear and i hate pain so i live in that fear two

I'm not afraid of death, it's the dieing part I'm afraid of!
I just hope it doesn't happen any time soon ^_^

Those of you in here that responded that they don't fear death are in fact already dead. Maybe you just don't know it yet. Have you ever tried to turn that red door handle?

You are such the intelectual Stormie and I love that about you but you confuse so many others .... If you dont fear are you no longer alive ????

It would depend on your definition of being "alive"

Those alive feel death so near, or "living dead" can still be emotionless. To me, feeling alive is an emotion, not a state of being.

Alive in a dead body, or dead in an alive body..

Ah yes, the confusion.

And love is such an emotion so can one not fear death and love another and not be alive or does that love make one alive ??? So just how does an undead love another??

It would indeed depend on the eye of the beholder. Love can be another form of death if it consumes you.

Well put my dear

well i killed myself twice and i believe that u just stay on earth cuz i havent gone anywhere and im talking to u now...or am i? YAY!

i dont fear it. i would just it rather be little painless. not much but yea you get the point.

i consider death a new born.....
reincarnation....
we live after we die....as someone else...

death is the final scene through a long and winding play...the best part where your true climax comes to pass...
-Stacey's Chick

death? what is death a start or end?
i think star i don't fear death i walk with him everyday. when he knocks i'll open the door and travel down a diffrent kinda path!!!!

Death my friend is death obsessed.... I believe death has a certain sadness as it seperaes you from those you love but it also ends this... place and brings on something new.
