You never know how much something means to you until its gone...
I remember, when at moments of my life that came very close to killing me... How great life is and how much Everything means to you when its slipping away...
I dont know of anything scarier than that... being scared shitless and slipping away into the dark...
I dont care what your religous beliefs/convictions if any, Those last few moments are IT, either there is life after death or there isnt... it is the great Clincher - A point, fact, or remark that settles something conclusively; a decisive factor to face the end... is scary... its a scary prospect, everything rides on that moment... Everything.
ihave to be sort of honest with y'all. i obsess about death. not usually mine, but sometimes. mostly my loved ones. It isn't like an unhealthy thing, well I dont think so anyway. I'm not constantly worried about it. I just think about it a lot, how my friends will die, what I'd do without them, thinking of what would happen to my brother if my parents died, stuff like that. It doesn't consume me so I don't worry too much about it.
My best friend hates it when I talk about it, but I think a lot about my funeral. I'm 22 years old and I've got every detail planned. I have a friggin will. I just see this as good planning. Maybe I'm a sicko. Among my friend (and my mom's) least favorite ideas: lots of miniature urns, filled with my ashes, to be taken home as souveniers (and NOT scattered! that's my method of scattering them myself!). Well, that and the kegs and open bar. My friends like that part of it. and no depressing music. i also hope i die when it's warm, because i want it to be a pool party. after all, why should people dred the last time they're going to party with you? make it something memorable that they'll enjoy, not something they'll always want to forget!

To quote someone you might know when asked about death: [quote]Some see it as a changing into an indestructible form, forever unchanging. They believe that the purpose of the entire universe is to then maintain that form in an Earth-like garden which will give delight and pleasure through all eternity.
On the other hand, there are those who hold to the idea of our blinking into nothingness with all of our experiences and hopes and dreams merely a delusion.
Considering the marvelous complexity of the universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that, matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension, I believe that our existence must be more than either of these philosophies, that what we are goes beyond Euclidian or other practical measuring systems and that our existence is part of reality beyond what we understand now as reality.<hr></blockquote>
I'm frightened by the prospect of my life ending before I'm done living it. Not believing in an afterlife, I'm convinced that the event itself is nothing to be afraid of; like the last page of a good book, it's just the end.
Of course, I'm also terrified that I might be wrong about God, and He'll be pretty pissed off when it comes time to face Him.
I don't know. Wish I could ask <a href="http://apnews.excite.com/article/20020127/D7HA6OFO3.html"; target="_blank">her</a> why she would do something like blow herself up for some religious cause. If I really wanted to die, right now, it wouldn't be that way. I'd rather die having an orgasm.
Death really doesn't scare me. There could always be something better at the light in the tunnel...whatever. (Artman @_@ is feeling down and out today...)
What can I say, the thought of my dieing would bother me, but its not something that Im particularily afraid of. However if I were to die at this moment, Id think of it as a shame, there was so much left for me to do.

actually, that makes a scary amount of sense...

there is nothing you will try to hold on to.
If you aren?t afraid of dying,
there is nothing you can?t achieve.
Trying to control the future
is like trying to take the master carpenter?s place.
When you handle the master carpenter?s tools,
chances are that you?ll cut your hand.
