Does that mean the you are ready to die?  

simple stuff really unless you are just trying to make some point that has nothing to do with the subject.   Hell... you seem perfectly happy to risk your life to ride that glorified bicycle with a tiny little motor on it...  Does that mean you are willing or ready to die?   It must mean you are willing to take the risk?

Why don't you tell us about you since you don't seem to understand anyone else?

I appreciate the concern, but really I wasn't. I think I fall into the category of people that posted, I would take practical measures to prolong my life as much as possible, but I wouldn't feel short changed if I found my time was up. This is lot different than the way I thought just a few years ago. I'm not sure if its an age thing or a type of depression. I don't FEEL depressed or self destructive, but I feel tired a lot. That could be age too I guess.

But it was an honest question as to how most people think about their own mortality. I was hesitant to post it as I did not want it to seem like some veiled cry for help :)

I don't think anyone should fear death either - I mean it is going to come. What I was wondering is has it become a rational conclusion or a sensible end in your own mind. When I was in my 20's, it seemed like an abstract concept. Now, after seeing more than half my family and a lot of friends pass, its longer abstract, but in my mind a natural completion. Its like the "circle of life" actually means something to me now and not just a nice phrase

it crossed my mind.  but his post isn't really Baker Act material.  

i think the way he feels could be normal if he is an older person who has been through a lot and feels like he has a lot of miles on him.  

i think that a perspective change happens naturally to most older people if they live long enough.  kids look at them and wonder how they can live at 70 without being in constant terror every day, knowing that they can die at any moment?  

ce la vie

but i really don't know for sure.  BTW himself suggests that he might be mildly depressed.  maybe he is.

Sorry Skuzzy I said I'd stay out of here, but with no reply in 3 weeks, and the topic at hand, well... "Mustaine" lives on, and I hope you understand.


I personally do not want or look forward to dying. A good friend and I had this conversation, today actually; about death. "Does the person in a car wreck with their head bashed feel anything?"

The same goes for a number of different types of death. I have been "brainwashed" and de-sensitized to "death" from another site I frequent, though unwillingly as the pics are impossible to miss.

Anyway, my concern is thus: do people dying "feel" it happening? That is the core of the question. If there is no real "feeling" then what is lost?



If you want to get into a moral debate about my Christianity, or anything of that nature please take it to another thread. But here, I have to ask the question "when does the soul leave the body???" There are many theories about this and no answers possible.

If I were put in a situation like the thread starter’s examples, I hold true my thoughts would be about the will of God, and his purpose of this. I would pray to ask if this is God’s will let it be so, if not, let it pass. There is no other way about it in my mind. If it were God’s will then I would ask for a sign to show that, if so it is unavoidable; hence I would have no choice but to accept it.

Death is an unpleasant thing for all those that surround it, and I do not pretend to know anything about it. I DO know that I hold strong in my convictions, and that all things happen for a purpose.



Before you comment on this, PLEASE re-read my comments in the 3rd paragraph above. Thank you.

You are kidding right????

Don't know for sure but I'd bet money it had to do with the choice of language used in Mustaines posts in the link you provided. It looks pretty clear to me.

Assuming you are in fact Mustaine I would immagine you should take it easy with this personna lest you get smacked with a ban stick again.

Nobodys ever ready to die, I mean a lot of people think they'll make it to some grand old age and slowly pass away with all your family etc.
In reality, it will probably come fast and your last words will be something like " Oh S**" and then it's lights out, so no point in thinking about it.
