First off, i'm not suicidal... or maybe I am. I dont know. But I want to know how many other people think like this...
I am so curious as to what Death is like. What is it like to be dead, what really happens when we die? People have faith that god will take them to heaven, or that they will be reincarnated, or that they will simply rot in the ground. At times, it really gets me curious as to what really happens when we die. at times, i've gotten to the point where I'm playing around with my pocket knife, and then it crosses my mind that if i were to plunge it into my heart I would find out instantly. But of course, I dont.
How many other people are really curious about death as I am?
you should stop beating around the bushes and just man up and do it
>>1 for me death is like going to sleep, when you lose consciousness and before you start dreaming.
Because I think I know what death is, I'm not particularly curious about it.
Do you remember what it was like in the time before you were conceived?
No? Well... death is just like that.
But if you really think it might be different, there's no need to be so impatient about it... all you have to do is wait.
you aren't alone death is probably one of the main things that drive people to live and we are all fixated upon it for one reason or another or in one way or another why do you think religion is so popular. Your feelings are similar to mine and that means that you are probably just bored I too sometimes look and a knife and wonder or stand at the edge of a cliff after a long hike in the forest and imagine myself falling but I've also thought about it way too much and I deffinitly advise you to find something to occupy your thoughts unless you want to become depressed for a long time. Sure it might just be like going to sleep but there is evidence that your brain remains active for something like a month after you die and then there are the out of body experiences hospital people have. I mean who's to say that these dreams don't just last I mean you can sleep and have dreams that last weeks so maybe these dreams just last and your trapped in side your own head forever. Heaven and hell then are reflections of your guilt on your dreams because when we live don't we have nightmares when we are worried and stressed about things and have good dreams when our life is good. It's just an idea and just hopeful thinking on my part.
Want to find out? Take a "thumbprint" of LSD. Report back to us.
OP I think it's more interesting if you find out why you think of death instead of what death is about. For example, why do you contemplate death in this moment in your life?
> but there is evidence that your brain remains active for something like a month after you die
What? Once you die, your heart stops, blood flow stops, brain can't work without blood.
OP here, I obviously am still alive and have not done it haha. >>5 yes, these thoughts primarily come up when i'm alone and extremely bored. I have been keeping it in the back of my mind. Ive been trying to find religion and "find god" for a long time but I just have too many doubts about it.
>>7 hmmmm, i'm not sure why I contemplate it. It's just something interesting to think about when i'm bored I guess. But, i'm thinking now that I could be something smaller within me that is driving me to think about it in that way. For example, i'm single, so maybe it's that lonely feeling?
... this could become a really interesting project for psychology lol
OP, I feel exactly the same way. I don't really want to kill myself, but death greatly interests me too.
Say, at 65 or something, when I am old enough, when life experiences have come to a standstill and I become more like a burden to the society (Frankly, however cruel as it may sound, most old people above 70 are a burden. They are nothing more than vegetables waiting to die), voluntary euthanasia would be a good solution. Its more like, I am done with living, lets see how it is when I die.
Whether trolls or not, these are terrible excuses for human beings.
I think about death all the time. I like to think about how I would carry out swift vengeance on whoever I felt deserved it. I make a list of these people and I hide it where I don't think anyone will ever find it. Just in case I find one of those "Death Notes" one day. I'll have that list... and then their asses are toast. But in all seriousness if you really want to know what death is like go volunteer at your local Hospice. Jesus fucking christ... I'll never think about death again. Not after I got to hang out with abunch of dying old people with AIDs, cancer and other terminal illnesses. Fuck that.
