Willieh Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Basically this is what happened. I read a scary story earlier and it scared the ever living hell out of me...for a little bit. I thought of the possibilities of it happening and then I considered that this particular thing could happen to me! But then I thought further into it and decided that the worst thing that could happen is me dying. [spoiler=WTF???] WTF???. So I thought about it more and decided that dying is looked at as a bad thing by people. But shouldn't it be celebrated as a passing into the unknown? In a sense, couldn't you look forward to death? I considerably thought about how funking desensatised I must be to think that "Meh, worst that could happen is me dying." :| What do you think. Do you think that people value life too much or fear death too much? Or do you think I'm a psycho for thinking any variation of the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silencerleader Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 No, you have the mentality of above-average person (most of the time)I just hate it when people say "I want to die" but when it's time, they say "I only wished I could've lived longer...."I'm just curious and not so curious at the same time.I sometimes dream of what lays beyond...should I think of sorrow when I should be happy I might be going to a happier place?I think people value life way too much.

Guest JoshIcy Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ehh... In the book Xenocide and Speaker for the Dead the Penguininos have a life in which they become tree's. Which an honor, especially if they grow into a Fathertree so they look forward to the afterlife. (Yes these trees can talk with special sounds)... But anyway thats a nice perspective. But life is life, treasure it while you can but be prepared when its gone. So I am neutral on this :| Believe what keeps you sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Mourning another's passing is selfish, and that is why it is done, it is why we see life as so valuable, because it allows us to feel sorry for ourselves to see life as more than precious. Celebrating the life of one who passed is much less selfless. Humans value their own lives too much, they do not value the lives of each other enough.

2sick4u Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 People need to fear death less, as apposed to valuing life. Death provides grounds to answers, understanding on a potentially massive scale, whilst life is just a period in which you ponder those things. I don't fear death, as I welcome the prospect of it.I however, fear how I'm going to die, since 9/10, it'd suck, and wouldn't be instant. The value people inject into their own lives is illogical.Seriously.We have the perception of our lives having more value, due to intelligence and free-will.Leaving out the various things Static made me realize today, our lives are worthless on a mass scale, whilst provide meaning on an individual scale.We need to think on the mass-scale more often.Since trying to spare the masses is just going to harm the masses.In a blunt, unelaborated way, that is.=/. As Static said, we do not value the lives of each other enough.The individual scale of thought we all abide by is represented through peoples want for their own life. Selflessness appears to be only meant for immortals, by today's standards. =/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i understand that people are curious about death mainly because we don't know what happens after that, what if nothing happens? what if god existed and we are going to hell? what if souls exist and ours will just roam the earth mindlessly? It's hard to comprehend what will happen but the dumb thing to do is try to kill yourself to find out..... Sooner or later it's gonna happen =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry OldMaster Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 what if god existed and we are going to hell? Then I'll be like, uh-oh.

~Rebellious Rage~ Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Who knows what will happen will you just go floating off into complete darkness haveing no control over yourself, will you be reeborn as another person, or will you do as your religion says(if you have one).

Willieh Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I do not fear death' date=' nor do I value my life Maybe that's why I'm so suicidal[/color']Stop posting that in threads. Make a thread of your own; that was irrelevant. If you're suicidal you need to seek help, not post in everybody's thread about how you are suicidal. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Enjoy life when you have it. You'll know when death comes. Death is bad, but good in some way (if you're Christian). But just Enjoy Life and live it to the fullest. Life doesn't last forever on Earth, so, be happy ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
