Let's Talk About Death

I wouldn’t mind dying young, although once I have kids I wouldn’t want to until they’re older. I want to die doing something I love, which is any adrenaline-triggering thrill, although I may regret that wish. I hope to somehow touch others’ lives, but I’d rather be known as virtuous rather than anything popular.

 

hmmm... I don't think I care much about the events that happen before I die. Because we can't take our experiences here on earth with us to the grave... and eventually people will lose their memory of you... so all that stuff is kind of useless.

I think it's more important to focus on the actual moment of our death and afterwards. I would want to have a foreseeable death. That way it allows me to prepare myself. If an afterlife does exist, which I believe it does, I would want my mother to be waiting for me, I would want to be able to see her moments before I die. When she was in the hospital dying of cancer, she said she saw her father in the room sitting across the bed from her comforting her.

The same thing happened to my uncle who died when I was just a child. As he was dying, he said he saw a saint appear to him and was comforting him in his last hours.

In those last moments of death, when I know that I will not live for more than a day or two, in that feeling of helplessness and fear, I would want to prepare my heart and be able to connect to God on a sincere level outside of my own ego. In our moments of death our ego begins to die, we begin to see things more clearly than we do when we are alive and well. It truly is a beautiful thing.

 

I want to die while making love. I don't. Care what age. My achievements and people's memory of me is only temporary no matter what I do. I might as well go out in an awesome way.

 

I want to be as old as I can be while also being physically & mentally functional and fit.
How? I don't know but i've had this fantasy that when I'm ready to die, I would skydive and just not open the parachute. That would be a great way to go, although not for the people around me.
How do i want people to remember me? I don't think I'm wise enough to answer that right now.

 

I can't control at what age I will die, that is controlled by God and I will inshallah accept whatever that age is. I want to die peacefully and calmly, I don't want to be afraid of death before I die but rather I want to accept it and to accept God's wisdom. Before I die, I want to achieve peace within my soul. I want people to remember me as a genuinely good and humble human being.

 

As a Christian, even I find this to be a bit preachy

 

Let's talk about life it tends to be better than death?

 

I want to find true love, I want to see the world in all its greatest beauties. I want to be able to fund these journeys sourcing it from a job that i can passionately say i love doing. These are all dreams. To travel with the person of my dreams is my idea of bliss, my definition of happiness to me, that is all i long for in life. Before, i felt no purpose, before when i just lived to educate myself because that's how it was in the moment. I feel more like how i want to be now. I feel as though it's quite hard to represent ourselves, to find our true selves. I find this take's so long, maybe even one's own lifetime to completely understand who it is they wish to be. What it is that will make them the most happy. But in all of us, at least, there is a kind of central belief in that we are happy if we choose to be. We choose to smile whenever we command it so.

But i want to die young, i'm rather sure of that. I dont want to live old, i feel it'll become a duty, a task for me to live rather than a joyful experience. We really truly do need to see life more as a game. Not one with malicious intent, but to akin to peace, live our lives hoping to gain this peace of mind. For there is no one that can really, truly, make us happy but ourselves. In our own minds.

In my own life time i would like to create, create something worthy enough to be remembered. In any format, whether it be music, art, film. I want something i can live by, have written down to just mark my being here. I wish i could fervently express my every feeling i feel, jotting it down on some piece of paper or however it may be. Some people have children as a means of carrying on their blood, i guess there's a sense of pride in that, keeping the family line. I dont really know. But i just want to feel like i'm living to live. Even when people say 'money doesn't bring happiness' though, it truly does, spent well, it finances mostly all your joys. Aside love, which is free.

To put a number on it, i would die in my late 20's most likely. That's just how i feel is when the body starts to get older. Maybe i'll live on til im 30 or so, i have no reason to feel sad, no suicidal intent. I just, i dont want to live forever bored out of my mind. I dont want to continue living only to live a miserable life. I'm sorry if people feel that's wrong of me to think that way. Growing old just doesn't sound fun. I becomes less and less capable of doing things, i may even be struck down by some deadly disease further prohibiting my potentials. Na, that's not for me.

I still dont know how i'd do it. Preferably, Painleslly via drugs or alcohol overdose. Although it seems suicide is never a surefire way of death. Which is another factor of fear, i wouldn't want to be left further disabled in my abilities and then only expected to continue living, closesly monitored through a life one clearly feels no thrill of in living and only feels suffering. That's not any kind of 'life', real living, real potential to do and experience all you dream about doing

(I'm not sure if its against the rules to talk in this way, if it's graphic by any means, i apologise, i don't mean it in this way and i hope my post will be kept up. I'm just trying to figure out the value of life in my own way. And i apologise if that feels wrong to you. )

I don't feel too passionate as of yet about setting down in a caring family setting, only to deduct from my experience these all fall apart and crumble at some stage.

Im gonna keep being good in my life just cause that's how i feel. I want to live life free of concern, im sure we all do, but that's just not the way it is. I wish i could just fly off somewhere and live off the land in my own self sustaining way. But i dont have that kind of knowledge, i'd know of nowhere to go.

Sorry if this post is just a bundle of nonsense, although it'd be very intriguing for me to hear people's thoughts on the way my head currently thinks and if it is rational by any means, or if im truly just being selfish im not sure ):

 

I want to go after my wife goes. I don't want to leave her to clean up my lifetime mess.

I want to die old. Preferably after my kids are all married, and my grandkids are sick of me imparting my wisdom.

As far as dying itself, I want to go doing something heroic. Like taking a bullet shielding a child, or drowning because I gave up my life vest, etc.

I don't want to die scared.

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm at peace, but I will miss the fun and people this life has to offer.

My wife and kids all know I love them. I have stood for good my whole life and am not ashamed. As long as I remain this way, anytime it happens it happens.

 

Well for the most part I'll let my depression speak for me. 1. Any age really. 2. Some kind of accident. 3. I want to save someone else's life or do some kind of big good deed. 4. Well memories fade into nothingness but if my soul is to be judged I'd want people to remember me as someone who always attempted to be a good person despite my quick anger and jadedness.

 

Hey!
I am currently studying at the university and my goal is to be a computer programmer (that is one of my biggest wishes right now)
and of course, to find the love of my life, to build a family and to travel around the world.
I don't care about my death so much since it's not something that is under my control.
Anyway -

How old do you want to be before you die?
At the age of 70 - 80 would be nice

How do you want to die?
A death by natural causes I guess (not because of a disease or anything like that)

What do you want to achieve before you die?
As I mentioned before, I want to be a computer programmer,
to build a family and to visit the USA once.

How do you want people to remember you?
I don't care.
The most important thing is that I know that I did the best I can to make everyone happy and that I didn't betray or hurt my friends and my loved ones.
Simple as that.

I'm 22 years old if it matters (I just had this stupid urge to mention it lmao)

 

I think this is why it's important to be thankful everyday for what we have. Life truly is beautiful, we just have to learn how to enjoy it.
