A thought on DEATH.

[mb1]

The men of my bloodlines ALL die within their 50s or 60s. I'm not holding my breath

Yeah, the men in mine typically die in their 40s-50s

That's why I don't want to ask the question.

I re-clicked that clock about 10 times and it kept saying I'd die within the decade of 2030, in my 50's. Which really means I'm having a mid-life crisis instead of a 'quarter-life crisis'.

 

[morf]

LOL I'm gonna live till im 88 years old according to that clock, most ridiculous thing I've yet to hear. Doubt I'll make it past 60

The BMI thing isn't very helpful- according to that, my BMI is either 28 or 29 as I'm 5'8" and about 187lbs., making me just shy of obese. Maybe I'm wrong, but do I look obese?

As far as death goes, I used to be one of those "don't worry about it- it's nothing to fear" guys. Then I had a daughter. I don't actively think about and fear death, but the thought of not being able to see her again scares me more than anything in ther world.

I keep saying to myself that death is no big deal

seeing as once your dead, you wont be around to worry about the stuff your missing

Its just interesting to me how certain dates are of significant importence and somewhere in the 365/366 day year that one of those is marked for the end.

Im with you, They say my BMI is 27. Im 6'3" and about 215 pounds. I wouldnt say Im overweight, but I could stand to go to the gym a little.

Most of us do not know the day and time of our death in advance and it is interesting to reflect on what possible month and day it would end.

On the first statement: I do not envy people who know when they will die, because it usually means they don't have much time left.

As far as it being "interesting", I have to diasgree with you. I will give the issue a passing thought and then move on. After all, why spend time thinking about the one thing that's surely going to happen anyway?

 

[Poop-Loops]

Everybody will die, no matter what. So why worry about it?

 

[DaveDeVille]

I'm happy to live every day to the fullest and die a happy man.
No use in fearing what we can't avoid.

.... live life now , not later !!

And what does The Good Book say?

Treat others the best that you can everyday, and do not strive to be the richest person in the cemetery.

I have overcome my fear and dread of death through the study of asian arts dealing with the natural cycle of life and the promise of rebirth. I welcome death as a new beggining...I dont wanna die...BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- I DONT WANNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Krisfield]

I had a near death incident. I recall watching myself sitting in chair being brought back to life. It was almost like watching movie.

"Is marked for the end?" Isn't there a hint or pre-determination there, Major? One will be the end, for sure, but it hasn't been marked yet. Otherwise how could you change it, for better or worse?

 

[ehque]

ive been near death before.

and im only 20. when i was 9, i think, someone accidently knocked me into a 5m deep pool.

nearly died, and not much of a life to flash past my eyes, either.

 

[Poop-Loops]

Heh, that's funny. I'm 20, and when I was 9 I fell off one of those body board things in the pool. I had to walk out of it and then I yelled at my family who was right there didn't even notice. Luckily nothing really happened except a fear of pools, which I eventually overcame.

 

[buzzbass]

I could care less when it's going to happen. Can't come soon enough, I'm tired, mentally & physically. I've felt that way for the past few years. Besides, I'm worth more to my family dead than alive, insurance etc. If it would make things easier for my family, I'd volunteer to take the dirt nap right now.
