scootabot (07/07/2015) [-] Hey, man. We're all going to die eventually. We've got to make a mark and have as much fun in our lives as possible. Even if you're suffering from overwealming odds, you've got to find a way to live. There's a difference between being alive and living.
I don't want to wake up early in the morning and go to a ****** job that I hate to earn a crappy paycheck that's hardly worth my soul. I'd rather have a lower paying job doing something I love than a high paying job doing something I Hate.
Anyway, I do believe in an afterlife. I was raised as a Christian and while I may not agree with many of their rules now, I still consider myself a loose Christian. I believe in God, but I also believe that Science can help us explain the universe as a whole.
I sort of believe that everyone has a personalized heaven. I don't like to think about there being a Hell, for the bad people. It'd just be a place where they exist in their own world. Being able to do whatever they like. Having full power over it. Stuff like that.

tenaciouslee ONLINE (07/07/2015) [-] I only look at it one way.
All ******* right, then.
I can't stop it, I may prevent an early death, once or twice, I might say to the God of Death, "Not today". But one day, he'll get his mark, but instead of dwelling on that fact alone, I instead look at it like this: I might as well live each day as if I were dying tomorrow, because, hey, you never know.
Look, I shouldn't have to say this: Stop dwelling on death. Yeah, it's coming, get over it. Live life while you have it, don't dread it's end, enjoy it's existence and milk it until you've experienced everything humanly possible.
As Mister Spock would say, "Live long, and prosper."

iluvatar (07/07/2015) [-] how can the absence of everything be bothersome if even the the capacity to be bothered is not there?
#3 to #2
-
imthenewguy [OP](07/07/2015) [-] Think about it: One second you're alive and next you cease to exist like you weren't even here in the first place. Does it not bother you?

imthenewguy [OP](07/07/2015) [-] Well, that's your opinion. I, for one, am scared ******** at the concept of all that makes me "Me" suddently vanishing

iluvatar (07/07/2015) [-] the capacity to be bothered or bored or afraid are all aspects of consciousness. it is it that knows them and for whom they appear. when you know this you also realize you are That empty void behind all creation/realities. beyond consciousness. You return to that place every time you go to sleep by the way.
There is nothing to be afraid of, you are immortal, immaculate, immovable.

imthenewguy [OP](07/07/2015) [-] Yeah. The Void is a figment of my imagination. And since there's no way to know forma sure and live to tell about it, i constantly fear how i'm going to die, but what comes after also troubles me
#13 to #11
-
imthenewguy [OP](07/07/2015) [-] Because I don't know what will come after i'm done in. Not knowing is the worst part of it

iluvatar (07/07/2015) [-] things are not as they seem thou. we discussing the fear is helping it go away. its part of the path for it to go away. you just feel you have to do what you have to do, in this case start a post.
the more you grow in understanding the more you are in control of happens to you.

iluvatar (07/07/2015) [-] the best way to deal with fear is to allow it to ruin you on every level it wants to ruin you.
I had many fears, I let them and their respectable events happen. Nothing bad happened, I actually benefited from their absence because they were holding me back.
if you live your life with that mindset you will grow as a person much faster than 99% of the world's population.

auradan (07/07/2015) [-]
How about we just experience it for ourselves?
Nobody has ever came back to life and just says there is a afterlife.
Does everyone think that science can solve everything, like giving life or anything else that is said to be impossible?
Do you think diseases can evolve, growing faster and soon be stronger to oppose the human body defense?
But in my opinion, There is a afterlife, a heaven and hell.
It's not something you can see or feel physically.
And I believe that the first humans to walk on earth were intelligent.
It's something that defies everything in the same time not defying :
Religion.
It's just my opinion,so don't start throwing spears at me, please.

imthenewguy [OP](07/07/2015) [-] I'd go with the eternal dark oblivion approach, but since I believe there's no consciousness after death, it's sort of invalid. Basically, it feels like before you were born. At least, that's my point of view

oubliette (07/11/2015) [-] There's a lot to do before the end
Also, how do you know you will ever die? You done it before? The first guy that's going to achieve immortality probably doesn't know it yet

imthenewguy [OP](07/11/2015) [-] 1-Mainly, dank memes
2-All biology dies. Except for that jellyfish thing that reverts back to a young state. That being said, humans die. If not because of natural causes, they get killed. Immortality is sort of a ****** concept, but hey, it's all relative, right?

oubliette (07/11/2015) [-] dont think so
we believe many things because were told
not saying go shoot yourself you wont die
but have you seen the Jim Carrey movie "The Truman Show"? (GREAT movie btw)
this "life" may all just be a fabrication built around you, the first immortal, tricking you into bellieving youre human just like us.
clever amirite?
but even if that is too far fetched, considering your scientific standpoint concerning biology; are there not amazing discoveries in science weekly if not daily? and every now and then there are even profound discoveries that change the fundamental viewpoints of human understanding. Point being we, the human race, may discover a type of protein or something within the next 20 years that doubles our lifespan.
so when youre 148 years old in 2100's you'll be wondering what the **** else is there to do with all this time

imthenewguy [OP](07/11/2015) [-] It's plausible, yes. But that's not all there is to it. A WWIII could erupt at any given moment, wiping all life on Earth like it was never here in the first place. But yes, medical science is advancing rather quickly

ghostisaho (07/07/2015) [-] you need to realize you will have an impact on the world no matter how big or small it is, so decide what impact you leave on the world.
whatever awaits us after this life, or a lack of what awaits us is nothing we can do about, so focus on what we can do while we are here. that is what i say to myself to cope with the mortality i have and my inevitable death

anon (07/07/2015) [-]
You literally have just asked the question that many thousand years ago birthed religion entirely. All people die and nobody knows if your consciousness lives on past your body. There's no way to know. So just enjoy each day of your life because you know you're gonna die. If it came down to finding an ultimate solution, suicide is your only option unless you want to live in a false reality with some fake beliefs shoved up your ass. The key is to not NEED a solution and to be able to say **** it, my planet won the lottery and there's a lot of smart creatures who live here with minds that work in ways none of them understand.
Picture yourself standing outside from a birdseye view. Now zoom out until you are a small speck next to your house. Then zoom out until all you see is mountains and oceans. Then zoom out until you see the planet, THEN zoom out until you can't even see our sun. From that point of view, nobody knows or cares about humans dying on Earth.
First you must realize that you do not know, then you must accept that you do not know. The UNIVERSE we live in it VASTLY LARGER than ALL people and ESPECIALLY their ability to conceptualize it.

fjconglomerate (07/07/2015) [-] Death is only the 3rd act of a 14 part play. If you have a copy of the script you can keep act 3 from ever happening. I myself have gone through 12 acts, before making some minor alterations to loop me back to act 2.
Death is not an act to be feared. It's one of the more unpleasant ones sure, but you come out of it. Exact details are company secrets, but trust me, it's act 13 you want to be fearing. It's a 14 part play for a reason.

Think about the flowing: the universe is shaped by chaos and indifference. Immense heat and bitter cold. Empty void and and trembling energy. It's empty and endless space. Would you like to be out there alone for all eternity? Death is a reword. Desintegration of structure and that's it.

rivensenpai (07/07/2015) [-] i personally think that when im old and my body PROBABLY doesnt work very well and im jsut in a boring agony, death will be a sweet relief.
