Ever wonder what Death is going to feel or be like?

[bat1]

As we are all getting older day by day, soon our day will come

But what will happen? is there a lot of pain? Are we really going to
See a bright light? What about the day of judgement ? Will I go
To heaven or hell?

I'm almost 52. The older you get the faster time goes time is short
Live your life to the fullest everyday as today could be your last..

I'm just sitting here on night shift in Afghanistan at fob Lindsey looking at
The stars with my Ipad..thinking about life..:werd:

[Chaos]

I'm going to relish the chance to start over!!
(I believe life energy is constantly reused)

[trish]

Be safe out there bat. We're thinking about you.
To your question, my opinion is that dead feels exactly the way pre-conception felt. But that's just my opinion; I wouldn't advise finding out sooner than the fates desire.

[TS Evelyn Summers]

I think I seen too many horror movies.....but I wanna go out like every big titty bimbo does in the movies. In the WORST way possible!


I wanna go out in the most horrible of ways.... fall or get thrown into a tree chipper....


Get picked up by a stranger and cut into a hundred little pieces....


Get decapitated....


Get tied to 4 horses...and get pulled to pieces...


and then wind up on the Young News Channel....hahah

Do any of you remember where you were before you were born? That's what death will be like.

There is nothing, it's just black.

Are you kiddin' me??? I doesn't fuckin' matter what it's gonna be like...you'll be fuckin' dead!!!

[Ben]

Are you kiddin' me??? I doesn't fuckin' matter what it's gonna be like...you'll be fuckin' dead!!!

Ha ha! Exactly. Well, it's like before you were born....
I mean, the planet was around for about 5 billion years before you -- and I -- were born. What was that like? Well, death -- :)
So, it's nothing. So, everything has a hollowness to it, I guess. Read Kafka, Camus and Sartre....

[trish]

I mean, the planet was around for about 5 billion years before you -- and I -- were born. What was that like?It was terrible. I had nowhere to put my stuff.

[Chaos]

I was about 16 maybe 17. We had a wood burning stove and got our wood from a strip mine. As much as we could carry,5$ a load. My dad decided that we could over fill our conversion van and just drive slow the whole way home....
Genius that my dad is :loser: he decided that the 80lb tree stump would go in last....on the top of a loose pile of wood. When he got cut off he slammed on the brakes....I had to sit on the floor in between my dad and stepbrother. The tree stump hit me,and smashed my face into the dashboard/center island of the van...next thing I knew I was in a hospital room surrounded by my whole family.
It was a day later. Apparently I was under the stump long enough to stop breathing, but luckily my stepbrother knew CPR. All I know is if I was dead I saw nothing,and lost a lot of my fears along with a few memories. Funny, I never felt as lucky as they said I was...

[danthepoetman]

Compelling story, Chaos.
As an old philosopher said about death, when it’s there, you’re not anymore; and when it’s not, you’re still around. It’s that simple. There’s nothing to fear.
Our meaningless presence justifiably results in this, at the personal level: nothingness.

[horst1]

i never really think about it. there's nothing to fear and nothing to look forward to. the end.

[Prospero]

By the sounds of it Bat, you surely need that R and R. Shame you gotta take it in Dubai. (If you want to meet an escort there see my osts in the what to do in Dubai thread0 then you best bet is to check a site like www.ts-dating.com beforehand where several visiting girls do list their numbers and write down their those numbers as you'll not be able to visit any adult sites on-line in Dubai. They're all blocked.)

But be very careful. Especially as you're a serving US soldier.

As for death? Well it's gonna come to us all one day. I just sure hope you get back home to the US in one piece and live to a ripe old age.

you lay in the ground and worms eat you.

[speedking59]

i don't wonder. at the risk of seeming epistemologically certain, i know. check my signature,

[Prospero]

LOL speedking59... you sound like a happy-go-lucky guy!

Now I wondered if the OP wondered if we contemplate the experience - ie what it might be lke to die from cancer, or a heart attack, or drowning, or a slit throat or whatever... or what being dead is like.

So dying can surely be variously horrendous. The latter either complete oblivion or - in the off chance that the religious here are right - blissful for some and hell for others.
Or maybe you will come back as a lion or a grasshopper or a cactus.

Just live and enjoy and don't sweat the endgame so much.

No...

I also dont sit around and stare at a cake and wonder what its going to taste like when I eat it... I wait till I eat it and then I know.

[rockabilly]

Cold and alone.

I also dont sit around and stare at a cake and wonder what its going to taste like when I eat it... I wait till I eat it and then I know.

Just looking at the cake and thinking about how nice it could be is often better than the eating!

(Is the cake is a lie?)

[Jericho]

Like warm apple pie! :shrug

[SammiValentine]

Not really, witnessed enough death for one year.

[nitron]

Hi everybody, personally I think one of two things will happen. Our life might be the clue to all this. If we live in a Multiverse, we are version of yourself. Periodically a version of yourself is thrown into a particular Universe and so on. In some versions your straight in others your schizophrenic and in others your perfectly fine but the world around you isn't. And so on.
The second version of this , is were thrown into a world by a computer program that varies the parameters of our existences . Think Matrix without us being needed as fuel source for the damn computer. So in either case, this existence were living in now is the afterlife. And when we pass all our memories are erased , that is the price we pay for a kind of immortality. It's not perfect, it's a bit of a nasty bargain, but I'm pretty sure that's how we all roll.

[trish]

Actually we're all on a virtual reality carnival ride. When the ride's over, I'm gonna finish my cotton candy and watch my boyfriend play the ring-toss game. If he wins me stuffed animal, I just may let him stuff my tight ass tonight with his ever hard boy cock.

[Dino Velvet]

When I'm dead I hope I stay that way.

[TempestTS]

Thank Gawd - last thing we want is a Zombie Dino shambling around and trying to wack off with dead penis...

[martin48]

I imagine death is rather final - after the last credits (if you are lucky), they turn the house lights off. That's it. Given a choice, I'd go for Woody Allen view - live life backwards.


“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”



The end sounds a bit like Trish's view :)

Hell, yeah, I wonder about that. I always have and that of course intensified after I got cancer. Really enjoyed returning to consciousness after my brain surgeries, altho they let me wake up with ventilator down my throat the first time (Gave me a real appreciation for deep throat!) I was much happier the second time around, because I was pretty apprehensive about what was going to happen when I went in.

I personally hope there is something after death and I'm trying to make sure I go to cooler of the options in my mind. :party::dancing:

[giovanni_hotel]

The act of dying can be excruciatingly painful and slow.
I saw a vid online of Mexi drug cartel executing two rivals gang members with a chainsaw.
Both men where handcuffed naked against a brick wall, and the first man had a leg sawed off...still alive...then an arm, his other arm...still alive, and then finally his head which was the toughest cut of all evidenced by the horrific expression on his face.

Death itself??
Painless amnesia.
(Human) consciousness after death??
Let you know when I get there.

I've thought about death and while I'd preferably like to keep living, dying doesn't scare me. However, dying by drowning, being choked, or bleeding out does kind of frighten me so I try to avoid underwater erotic asphyxiation and bloodletting. Otherwise, I try not to worry about things I can't control and death is certainly one of those things. I'm an atheist, which only means that I don't believe in any god(s). It's a personal belief that there's no such thing as a soul, an afterlife, or even good and evil. I've got nothing to look forward to or fear after I die. I think that's a good chunk of the reason why I neither fear or lament upon death, though.

[Prospero]

This is the song I want sung at my funeral.
The words sum it up.

When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.

That sir, is something I can neither confirm nor deny... :whistle:

[Stavros]

I think it all depends on how death arrives -I have died a few times in dreams, twice by falling from a great height such as a cliff, the third time from a gunshot (I was tied on a bed at the time, a prisoner in a far off land), and there was no pain, because the moment of impact is like any sudden trauma, anaesthetising the body -in real life, real pain comes after some injury, say from a car accident, or an illness like cancer- because the body -and the mind- has survived the initial trauma and is now trying to cope with the impact. So I genuinely believe, perhaps I have to believe, that the jumpers on 9/11 either died before they hit the ground, or felt no pain. I read that one of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing, was discovered strapped to his seat, in a field outside the town, clutching grass in his hand...As for the transition, I recall a desperation not to let go, then the feeling of resignation -its over and I can do nothing about it- a fond farewell to the world, and then the light...

[broncofan]

I am at this point afraid of dying. I had one near death experience and I remember the surge of adrenaline was so intense that I felt numbness, some dissociation, but also terror. There are other times when I've been more free-spirited and did not care one way or another. But generally my sense is, what else do I have but my life?

Sometimes if you think about death and how it's the worst that can happen to you it makes all your day to day anxieties disappear. It's comforting that when we die the things we think are important that are not will all be forgotten.

But on the other hand if you don't value your life, what can you value? You won't be here to miss it when it's gone, but that's cold comfort. As for the moment of death I fear it less than being deprived of life.

[danthepoetman]

I’m much more afraid of what suffering might be given for me to endure, especially by the medical profession, than I ever was of death. In fact, I know her personally; she’s freed some people I loved; others she has taken much too soon, but without pain. What could be scary about nothingness anyways? You loose everything, but you can’t know it. It’s those who stay that have to bare the losses, whether they know it or not –in the latter case, they usually get to understand eventually, but that’s another story.
One thing anyone should definitely think about, when it comes to death, is to share as much love as you can with those with whom it’s possible, because this precise hereafter I was just talking about often comes very suddenly and is obviously irreversible.

[Adama77]

I'm not afraid of death in and of itself, but I AM afraid of the process of dying. I do not want to suffer any pain during my death... I want to go peacefully in my sleep.

Very well-put and I vehemently agree.

Nice, Martin! I love this! And as you know, it’s a well known and exploited theme in art! Schubert composed a beautiful string quartett on it. And there are many representations in pictorial arts. It’s an expression of the Vanity genre, the representation of how fragile and transient (no pun) life is…

Why? is this life really that bad?

[Los Angeles resident]

My hope is I will start life over again and have no memory of my current life but I doubt that will happen.


Why? is this life really that bad?

No, not at all. It's just that I have no memory of any past life I have lived, if I have had past lives, which I doubt. It's just that I want to be able to enjoy life again from beginning to end and not end up in some empty black space like where I was before I was born.
