Where do we go?

[Raphael]

the only thing you can be sure you will experience and yet you will never have any idea. death is the secret of life, there is only one way to to figure it out, and even that way is not for sure  

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

now for the funerals I have been to (father, grand parents and such) I always end up thinking in the natural way and later on I start thinking about my own death, the organs I will donate, where the money will go if i have many at the time... etc etc

Also I think of how everybody becomes a hero as soon as they die, no matter what kind of stupidity the person did, no matter what, in the end people will say the person is a saint... and then I just stop thinking about it at all and go play a game

Driving is dangerous, I realize that, i almost got t boned crossing the high way a few months ago, woman in her cadillac figured she would run a red light, had to slam on the gas to avoid getting hit

In the back of your fragile eggshell mind the experience did nothing but reinforce your self-diagnoses of imperviousness.


All young people secretly believe that they will be the first person in the history of the world to live FOREVER.

I like to think death is so far down the road that I don't need to worry about it

I'm a young person, and I know I will die someday. Never use the world "all"

Congratulations; you're adult.

That is where your wrong. living forever is impossible. Also, i know i dont want to live forever.

Next time, try saying "some young people".

Congratulations; you're an adult too.

Although...  There's a pretty good chance that one of you is lying.

Sluggish, that's a No True Scotsman Fallacy.  You can't base a conclusion about a group from the condition (i.e., all penguins that jump in lakes are penguins, therefore penguins that do not jump in lakes are zebras).

since its going to happen anyway, I dont worry about it much

[phatzo]

If I was to choose my death, it would be a large explosion. Where I would go after that is easy. Probably 100ft in the air and scattered over a large radius.

This is not a debate technique; this is fact.  Children do not have the capability to understand their own mortality.  The dawning realization is a major part of becoming an adult.

I don't know. And I'm comfortable in the thought that those who claim they know don't know either.

But if I had to give an answer, I'd quote Epicurus : "death is nothing to us." When we exist death is not, and when death exists we are not. All sensation and consciousness ends with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death there is awareness.

Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo (I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care)

For having witnessed the death of some of my close relative, I'd say that there is peace in death. The sadness is for the others, not the dead.

I try to live a good life and I know it's going to end one day. I try my hardest for when that day comes, I will not look back on a life of missed opportunity and regrets. That's the only thing an humble man can hope for.
