Why don't you want to die?
« on: May 29, 2011, 09:03:54 PM »
I came close about 15 years ago, and I wouldn't of know any difference.  Mom said she's afraid she might miss something important.

Cessation of existence is non-appealing.

For me, it's the absence of being or of thought in general. If I could at least have conscious thought, I'd be fine. Would be fine with any afterlife as well (not bringing that topic into this thread if I can help it). For me, one the scariest things about death is the fact that I'll forget everything and not even know it.

I couldn't say it any better. It's not the fact that I know it's going to happen to me, it's just HOW?  :huh

No pain would be the best way to go.  But why you don't want to go?

I fell about 25 feet while working almost 8 years ago.  People who saw it, tell me that if I hadn't hit something on the way down I would have gone in head first.  Still messed me up pretty badly.  But to the question...  I don't want to die because I have a lot going for myself now.  There are a lot of good times in my future, God willing.

I've had a good handful of near death experiences.....one I was laying in a field after crashing my motorcycle with a collapsed lung and internal injuries.

I knew then I wasn't ready to die but when your in pain like that you almost want to.

I'm not afraid to die but I think everyone should at least get the chance to love and have a family of their own before they go.

I had to have CPR done after I drowned in the pool a the YMCA, me not being able to swim plus the pool being full of kids, I got kicked to the bottom but one of the people watching saw me at the bottom and rescued me. I was 8 but hell I still remember it.

It was a small pool, 5 foot deep, maybe 20 by 20, bout 30 kinds in there at once. Also most pools have chemicals in them so if someone does pee it kills all the bacteria. I hardly doubt that water was clean, and I got a lung full of it.  :uhoh

I'd miss the Avengers movie.

That and frozen custard, plus a few other things.
