Are you okay with dying? (1 Viewer)

CurlyNight said:
Probably not. It would depend on how many friends/fam I have left- my social situation. Nothing worse than being lonely and add old to it. It would be very depressing.

That's the trade off, your friends and family die off over & over. Think Highlander but no one is trying to cut your head off. I assume after the first few decades your social situation would be pretty solid. If you live forever at some point you should be able to accumulate some wealth. Heck, just saving wheat pennies from the 40's would have netted you millions!

Throw in I can look like I'm 25 forever and it's a deal! Looking in the mirror at a prune body and face would be very depressing.

 
Not terrified, but i'm okay with dying...just not today.

If it could be a minimum of 15 years from today, all the things i'd like before i leave should have happened.

 
Well, I guess we'd all like to be perfectly healthy until 85 or 90, lay the wood one last time, take a nap and fade away peacefully but for most of us not named Arizona Ron or Nathan R Jessup it ain't gonna happen that way.

I wouldn't want to die too early and put my family in a bad state.  I guess insurance covers the money part, but it's the rest I'd worry about.  Once kids get out of college, start jobs and have solid relationships the worries start to dissipate.  I'm pretty content.  I'm blessed with a great family, friends, career, etc.  I have a very full life.  So I want that to continue for as long as possible.  But if it's my time it's my time.  One of my best friends died of a brain tumor at 49.  He didn't get to choose.  11 months from diagnosis and he was gone.  So every day is a blessing to me.  I hope I go out with dignity, without pain, comfortably in my sleep but I have no control over that other than to try and take care of myself. Which I do.  So a lot of it is God's will or luck depending on your view/faith. 

My hope is as I face death I'll be as brave as others.  When I see folks with something brutal like ALS I just don't know how I'd deal with it.  I pray I don't have to find out.  In any event, I don't want to be a burden to my family.  I'd rather go the Kervorkian route than burden my family.

Can't do that, you'd be you at the time the decision was made but perfect health kind of assures that you'd automatically be in better shape than you are now and you have millennia to get in shape, get off your ### ya lazy *******!

If you could live forever without health worries my opinion is you should be able to generate wealth if by no other means than renting a storage space and saving stuff. Again, I reference Highlander as a gameplan for success when you are immortal.

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born into this ole world to carry on, to carry on.

I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the dying time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here,
just bundle up my coffin cause it's cold way down there,
I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there.
And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born in this ole world to carry on, to carry on.

My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
but I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell,
only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell.
And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
there'll be one child born into this ole world to carry on, to carry on.

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
and all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally.
Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon,
don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy,
just let me go naturally.

The birds they sang at the break of day 
Start again I heard them say 
Don't dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be. 
Ah the wars they will be fought again 
The holy dove she will be caught again bought and sold and bought again 
The dove is never free. 

Ring the bells that still can ring 
Forget your perfect offering 
There is a crack in everything 
That's how the light gets in.

That is what it comes down to for me.

 
Very grateful to have the death with dignity option in Cali. No way would I want myself and my fam to suffer the loooooong agonising death (mentally/physically/emotionally) from something like cancer.

People who are afraid of dying haven't really lived IMO.  I think about dying and meh, there are things I want to see and do but whatever.  I'm not a religious person either, whatever I have here is the best I'll ever get IMO.  Wouldn't mind going to doggy heaven though, that exists and it seems pretty awesome.  :thumbup:

I kind of agree and disagree with this. Once I had my child I wasn't okay with it because I wondered how she would handle it and if there would be a good mother figure in her life or one at all. Once she is on her own I think I would be okay with it again.
