I am 72, and it scares me because I only hope there is a Heaven & I will go there!. When one is old, you think about how much time you wasted, and how will you die, and will it be painful!. also, all my friends (and me) feel so much younger than we are that it is hard to believe we are elderly and on borrowed time!. We facilate between facing reality and feeling we still have a lot of time to make the changes in ourselves we have spent a life time procrastinating about, and accepting the fact we will continue to pretend to ourselves we still have plenty of time!. I guess the bottom line is that after death we will join God and be sublimely happy, or feel nothing, and thus, not miss anyone or anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, when this question is asked I am always reminded of what Socrates said when he drank the hemlock early and was ask why he was doing so!. He said "I want to see what is on the other side of the door"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The body will pass away!. The spirit will continue its journey through the universe, and beyond!.

No, not sad!. Enjoying this gift of time, to achieve correction!.

We humans are very good at fooling ourselves!. Due to Pride/ego/Genesis!. We think we have time!. This is error!.

time is on loan from The Creator!. don't waste it, as we all do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well yes we all have to die one day but the secret is not to think about it or it will worry you, take life as it comes and enjoy as many good times as you can!. Do we really die though!? or do we go to another place that is better than this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
