Question: Do you realize that you will die someday!?
I know it, but I can't feel it!. And I don't even think I will really be dead!. I think I'll have some pain, and then I'll go to heaven!.

So I'm not really worried, and I sort of live as if I'll never die!. If I lived like I was dying everyday, I would be one depressed human!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I envy you!. I sort of live like I'll never live another day!. It is a bit depressing, but I try to make each day, each moment count!.

I think this comes from knowing friends and family members who have passed away!.

Either way, be as happy as you can be in the now!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm definitely aware of it (been put in a few situations that really shoved my mortality in my face) but I don't think actively thinking about death is really part of my life!. I'm not worried about physically dying!.!.!.just about leaving loved ones behind!.

And on your opinion about the afterlife!.!.!.I used to be much more certain of it!. After my father passed away, I really doubt it!. If there is a nice comfy place to go, I think he'd hate it up there!.!.!.I mean, all he lived for is [here]!.

It's healthy to know your mortality and to accept it!. Just I would never let that take away from living!.!.!.it may be fleeting, but it can be great nonetheless!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes definitely!. I have even started to pick the readings for my funeral service!. This is not morbid!. I don't think that I'm going to die tomorrow but we know not the day nor the hour!.

I am a Roman Catholic and know that I want a Requiem Mass!. All I have to do is choose my readings and have a eulogy for someone to give of my life story!. The rest is done for me!.

I have already organised my parents funerals!. It was very sad losing them but there was great consolation in knowing that they had everything in order for the ceremony and that I did not have to go to a lot of trouble!.

We will all face judgement by God so we are told!. No one wants to die but we all have to face it!. It is better to be prepared than not!. I think that having a Christian faith helps!. I think that most people are intrinsically good and will end up in heaven!.

However, we should call to mind the things that we know that we have done wrong and tell God we are genuinely sorry for offending him every now and then just out of respect for the fact that he died for our salvation!. I think that will lead to a lot happier death!.

There is no need to be depressed about dying if we believe that we will achieve out eternal reward!. That is why Christ came on earth in the first place, to die for our salvation!. We just have to take up the offer and live a Christian life in order to obtain eternal salvation!.

Pray to St Joseph for a happy death if you are of that mind!.

God Bless!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sure I realize I'll "die" one day!. The awareness of my earthly mortality seems to pop up in its screaming passion during different times of the year!. Perhaps to make me appreciate every moment!? But I'm not worried!. I've accepted Christ as my Savior and am growing in Him every day!. I live my life to its fullest and couldn't be more happier!.

This life is but a pitstop in the journey of our eternal souls!. I'm just thankful God has opened my heart to accept the Truth in this life!.

Obviously this is not strictly a question asked of any rational adult, and thankfully we don't have a tattoo of a bar code on us, with a shelf life date, "Best used before"

What allows many to accept what life offers, or what we endure in life, is called "faith"!. In your case as well as others, that sense is a learned experience often nurtured and held to as a means to deal with what life is all about!.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with having faith or believing in "Heaven" or whatever name a sect gives to an after place, but proof is as elusive as anything else we have ever known, until after that life ends, and I've never heard of anyone alerting us as to where they went after, that can be proven without doubt!.

Beyond the fact that Heaven may or may not exist, it offers hope to those who believe, that we become more than just worm food after we die!.

Yes I realize that!. But then there is the resurrection and no death after that!.
The body is like a seed, in order for the seed to produce it has to die and then something greater comes out of the ground and the fruit of the seed is multiplied!.
I believe this will happen to me as well!.
When I die my spirit will rise to the Christ and God's kingdom!. But the body will remain here in the ground!. Come the resurrection day God almighty will raise the body and it will be a perfect body as God first intended!. In that my spirit will reside!.
But between now and then !.!.!.!. yes I know I am going to die, but it's only going to be once!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Speak for yourself, dude!. You do not know that I will die someday!. That's why I don't like people!. They make assumptions about "us" in general and think they "know" who we are!. I live as like!. I've earned that place in my life!. I do not take anything for granted anymore!. And I do not make assumptions about others!. You may want to do the same when asking questions from now on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

THAT IS WHY YOU "THINK" YOU WILL GO TO HEAVEN!.!.!. THINKING OTHERWISE IS DEPRESSING AND THEREFORE YOU WOULD RATHER BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT PREACHES/TEACHES OTHERWISE!. AS A HUMAN YOU AVOID THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL BAD/DEPRESSED AND RELIGION/FAITH HELPS YOU AVOID HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE ULTIMATE REALITY!. YOUR FAITH ACTS IN AN ALMOST MEDICINAL WAY TO HELP YOU DEAL WITH THE UNKNOWN ASPECT OF DEATH, I AM NOT CRITICING YOU, I UNDERSTAND THE BEHAVIOR YOU AND MOST OTHER PEOPLE EXHIBIT!. JUST DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN PUSH OFF YOUR RELIGIOUS PRACTICES ON ME!. I DON'T TELL YOU WHAT TO BELIEVE, DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO BELIEVE!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Should be similar to what it was like before i was born!. I'm cool with that!.

But check out this statistical argument!.

It has been estimated that there have been about 60 billion people on Earth over history!. There are about 6 billion of them now!. So ten percent of people haven't died!. This isn't a statistical sample, this is the entire population!. The conclusion is that 10% of people are immortal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh yes but i look at it this way,
Every Morning i wake up i read the obituary's and if i am not in there i get up!.
We all die at some point ,Some of us think that they come back, Some don't , But if we do i want to come back as the smile on a child's face at christmas time!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am only able to answer this question because of electrical impulses in my brain!.
One day the impulses will stop and I will not be aware because my brain will no longer function!.
I can cope with that; it's inevitable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I do, and I'm not worried at all!. Death is inevitable, and has to come one day!.

I don't know that I'll go to heaven or hell, but I've no regrets!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

One day I'll be dead and bad people will go on living doing their evil!. Kinda sucks don't it!.
In this one movie a guy says: In a minute I'll be dead, but you!.!.!.you'll always be an a**hole!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
