Question Death

Okay, I'm a HUGE horror fan - I love the shit!!! I can watch deaths on film and it never bothers me one bit - in fact, its rather exciting. But, once I bring myself back into the real world and start actually thinking about what death really means.... I hate the idea. Anyone else here utterly infatuated with death, and at the same time scared out of your mind when you really sit down and think about it? Just curious. Why the hell is that anyway? Maybe I'm just so scared of it that watching it in a fantasy world is the only way I can actually overcome that fear for atleast two hours. What do you guys think? Am I totally wacked out of mind...or are there folks out there like me? What do you think?

i dont watch horror movies for death, i watch em for the chase scenes . but there has to be some death to make the villain fearful. i am scared of death in real life, im not scared of what comes afterwards, i can handle being a spirit when the time is right. im scared of missing out on the rest of my life.
i like horror movies but it doesnt mean i dont get scared by em.

The actualy "dying" part don't bother me much, I mean unless you go in a particularly fucked up way...u know, butchered....I'm guessing the passing wouldn't be so bad, u know, not all that long a process....
death itself however - I think it'd suck IF the situation is just you becoming nonexistant...you know, everything you love, hate, dream about, "live for" and think just vanishes...on the upside, if that is the case, I guess you won't be around to give a fuck about it...
Personally, I can't even imagine total "nothing-ness", hard as I try, it seems impossible to fathom.
On yet another upside, how many different theories are there about life after death or some form of continuation? I mean, at least the odds say there's something out there, right?
I was pretty death obsessed a while ago,got myself all worked up about it, depressed n shit...even considered hypnotism just so I wouldnt think about it, funny thing is, one day, I just stopped giving a fuck, and now, I can't even MAKE myself worry about it, even if I try.
Try telling yourself that no matter how much it sucks, and how definate death is, there aint shit you can do about it....

No matter how it happens...it's inevitable...Why be afraid?

that is so true
I sometimes think on how i would die
will i get old and die of a hart attack, or will I die next week in my car?
the idea is pretty weird, fate has it's twists and turns

I'm not afraid of dying, although, I now know i would be afraid of it later, when i retire from work (i know, it's still like 30-40 years) but then you can live the good live, you live the life you've earned, hard work means good money after retirement
if I would die like 1 week before retirement i would be mad

Death is just a transitional faze, sometimes you are reincarnated but not always as human. Its inevitable that you leave this plane of existance but not to worry. I personally would like to finish some things first before I leave this retched place but it isnt up to me.

The idea of non-existence doesn't bother me particularly. I mean, there will be no "me" to realize I'm being non-existent.

If Death is anything like Death on the Disk....I promise that you all will not be pissed. He's pretty fuckin' cool. (See Terry Pratchett's Disk Work series...has nothing to do with horror but it could).

I imagine that dying is like going down before anethesia. You start fading and not only can you not hold on, but I don't think, once the process has started, that you would think to hold on. Then again it could be like coming up on the big hill of a rollercoster (which I wouldn't know anything about), but I doubt it.

From a Goddess woman stand point: Dying is only another corridor that we walk through to take Her hand. Then, we realize that She was the corridor in the first place.

Cheeba, you may, in fact, not be a Buddhist. They wish to achieve the "nothingness." Check the Taoists....we're everywhere.


What am I talking about? Fucked if I know. It's the Way.
