Just as the titles says. I want to hear your thoughts on death. Yay, Nay, or what?
exclaim RULES exclaim -No religious battles. -Educated answers! -More then just a 'I think it's sad.' or Etc. -Put thought into your answers.
exclaim WHY exclaim Because I can. I have a twisted mind that I may allow you all in slowly. Depending on your answers to my odd questions. If I get to dark, stop me please.

Death, eh?
I think it's something beautiful, yet dark at the same time. Something that brings peace to a troubled soul. It's something that I look forward to - really, just to be able to be at peace, and get away from all this drama - but yes. This is something comforting. But it's not something easily expressed, really. I can't tell you how much I've been dreaming of it (sorry David, I do wish my own demise at times), but it's something worth waiting for, you know?
I'm actually not afraid to die - just thinking about death gets me all excited! ( I am a masochist, so it's quite understandable.) I mean, it's something to be happy about, really. (Would you like to spend forever on this planet?) Then again, I'm quite the melancholy monster, and suicide is something oddly considered a lot...
I think death is a wonderful thing. Especially when described in detail. It makes me want to die even more.
Grief shouldn't even exist. When someone dies, you should be happy for them, no matter what.
But there is much to consider.
I even hope for my own death to come soon. It may be my escape from reality. It may not. No matter.
Now you've heard part of my view on death.

In other words, hmm... my thoughts on death...
1) The greatest adventure afterlife.
2) Nothing to be afraid of.
3) Most people fear it as something like the grim reaper, and you have to do good things to go to a good place. Or so says religion. (What a conformist idea.)
4) Laugh at it. Hehehe. HEHEHE.

in my opinion death is nothing but a mystery.why now.how.what happens afterwards. if there really is anything after it. etc. it is much like the human mind.but not quite. the human mind is impossible to completely understand. to me death is both horrible yet relieving and needed. i mean to think about it. to be alive and deal with your mistakes. and constantly be with the same people who think they know you.repeating things like work and such everyday would be stressing. and sometimes there are those times were you want things to end. wether it is life,school,work,etc. not knowing wether you lived your life well,wanting to fix some mistake,tell someone one more thing is the horrible thing about death.not to mention not knowing if there is another world and such and if there isnt then you will sort of rot in the ground.if there is you will be judged to a spiritual torture or heaven.and then deal with praying and such will either be a complete waste or the one thing to save you soul.but on the good thing about death.that way we wont overly populate,and the stress of keeping yourself alive and well wont be a problem anymore.at one point in my life i felt death wasn't anything to fear.not a bit.i was more afraid of the pain that comes along.i still believe that now a bit. but thinking about what will happen afterwards with the religion,being remembered,making a difference on the world and other people,has become a worry of mine.but although i will still be partly afraid i think the thing with death is well when it happens it happens wether you like it or not,the trick is dealing with it.sometimes death in itself will make other people remember you.and maybe doing the slightest thing will make you be remembered and make a difference on someone. so i guess just deal with it....unless you die...then you cant really do that..unless there is another world...eh whatever.well thats my opinion
p.s. please no one religious/anyone else get offended.this is my opinion.dont try to change it.and sorry if this makes no sense or is stupid.im not very good at writing my thoughts smile

I don't really think you have a twisted mind... xd i think that you are just trying to think of ways to kill boredom right?
Well my thoughts on death are "Isn't it infinite nothingness?" or maybe "The agent of death, usually represented as a man or a skeleton carrying a scythe"
I don't really care about where i go when i die whether its heaven or hell but i just hope that i, and others like me, live a rich life full of fun! xd Although, I do not think death is "the end of life" i think it's an eternal slumber but im not really sure since i haven't seen any ghost lately that can tell me the truth... xp

First of all. I'm glad you are taking this seriously. Thought I should get that out there.
Lynnie, I was actually amazed by your answer. I agree with you for the most part, and the depth of your answer... Excited me in a bit, I guess. Our ideals seem the same.
Though death can be beautiful, and a gift, it can be messy, and ungraceful. I dislike those times.
Also, I find 'suicide' a harsh word. I may not be religious, but I believe in sins, as in wrong doing. A personal law I guess. And in my eyes, a suicide would be a sin.
To kill yourself to get away from pity things is ungraceful. Not beautiful. Now, to allow it to come to you, Now that is beauty. To allow it to overtake, slowly but surly. Or quick and easy. Yes, those are the best.
When one dies, I find they should not suffer. And there should not be much blood. Obviously, unless you have a personal malice against them.
For those to die peacefully, the should receive no grief, yes. Though there are ones who cannot help but grieve. If you do so, it should be with full intention to fallow. Thats how I see it.
Call it necrophilia if you will, But even at wakes, I get excited to see the open casket. To see that 'love one' lying there, In peace. Their eternal rest, as Ben calls it.
I may not know what comes after. But for one to look as beautiful when they pass, It must be nice.
I envy them. -Jun.
Quote: I don't really think you have a twisted mind... xd i think that you are just trying to think of ways to kill boredom right? And if I was to answer no, would you be afraid? I don't mean to kill time, though it is a grand topic. I honestly would like to know. I am judgmental on human ideals and opinions on life.

Everyone's gonna die eventually, but I think I'll stall.
Life is something you should be thankful for. It's a shame if such a priceless gift was taken away too soon, or wanted to be taken away. No one's ever sure if there is a heaven, hell, nor purgatory. You don't know what to look forward to "after" life. So death isn't something you should be looking forward to nor fear. Death is only something you should know as a fact. mrgreen

@Kamelisan:
I was compelled to give you an answer, as your post made me think.
Why stall? Sure, I'm thankful for being here and all, but looking forward to something so far away makes it seem so close. Life isn't wasted, but used up in a way that people choose. Nothing's ever too far away.
@Tsakkun:
Nice to know I share ideals with someone similar - someone who's into thinking about the serious things in life.
So, suicide is a sin to you. I'm not saying that it isn't, but that's my way of keeping myself sane. I don't plan to off myself anytime soon, but it really is something to think about. What would things be like if I wasn't here? It's what gets me through the hard times in life, like the deaths of others. I just imagine myself in their place. And then I think - what will I miss if I die now?
And I've already feigned death once before, so it's just useless to waste time waiting for it to come. I wasn't meant to live on this planet.
And you should know as well as I do, but most people always want to die peacefully. It's really not something to be chosen, yes? You just take what comes to you and deal. It's al up to whatever you believe in.

Your post confused me Lynnie... If you are to only fawn over death, you would not enjoy it, I think. But, as for me thinking one should die peacefully, It's because on the other side of the coin, Their death could be a murder/rape case.
That's not beautiful. That is an embarrassment. I find people remember you best, By your death. You could have lived an extraordinary life, But no one will remember it due to a hideous death.
And everyone was meant to be on this planet. What kind of life would you live otherwise? You've escaped death once, only shows you are meant for a greater one. And by going on those terms, I better have an amazing one, or I'll be pretty upset.
Those who wish to die peacefully are scared. Those who wish to die beautifully are strong. We will all pass, so make it nice.

No, because suicide is planed. You make it the way you want.
Obviously sometimes that isn't the case. But, in a planned suicide. Yes.

@Onilion: Depends on the case, really.
@Tsakkun: Fawning over death would be a waste of time. But you were right - some cases are taken to new extremes.
And people wouldn't really remember us unless we go out in our flame of glory, or maybe a long friendship. There's just too much going on in the world for anyone to care.
Greater death, eh? Why am I not dead yet?
Lastly, people who want to die peacefully have to escape to a quiet corner of the world - if they can.
@kuraikame:
Why? Does death make you uneasy?
