So, I have this like weird fear of dying.  Not like, Oh I'm gonna die tomorrow!

But just about the fact that all of us are going to die at some point, and it seems like we live never thinking about that reality.  Like, one day in some way, we are all going to be dead.  And it creeps me the fuck out!

But my question is do you believe in the afterlife?  Like, once you're officially booked -- whether natural causes or gunshot wound to the wig -- is it just over?  Or do you believe life immediately picks up again in some weird afterlife or alternate state?




Opposites Attract.

This is one of my favorite topics. Lemme gather my thoughts a bit.


It's unconditional, these days you know....

I think we're done, boom.

I'm still on the fence whether or not an afterlife exists.

I don't fear death though, it's something that's going to happen.

All I can do is enjoy life and every moment it has to offer -- not anticipate the inevitable.

Mortality is something ive been thinking about a lot this year, especially with the state of society atm. The whole existential thing just began bothering me once I realized that I wont have life again, at least in the same way. Kinda weird but If I were to place my beliefs in anything related to afterlife it would be similar to reincarnation.

The people I love and value  most have definitely shared more than one life together in different forms/roles. I believe this comes to an end when you or your significant others really do something that fulfills your purpose and impacts others lives in a helpful way. Then I think the cycle ends and you reach the "afterlife", which I believe looks different for everyone.

Im always on the fence though because sometimes I just believe that nothing happens. That also scares me. I really don't like imagining life, as it exists now, any differently. I love where I am and who is along with me for the journey. I don't want THIS to end, change, or reboot...but it will.

FINE.

I think about this often. I also think about why I'm here in the first place. Why is their earth? Why do people exist? etc.

But back to what you're saying, I believe in the afterlife. Life is filled with too many coincidences, deja vu's, gut feelings, weird/specials moments for us just to die and that be it.

I believe our energy/soul transforms into something better.

CHOKE

You know when your phone runs out of juice and the screen goes black and basically becomes a lifeless brick?

It's kind of like that.

Bae!

yummy

It all sounds like mental torture, whether you die and lost all connection with your loved ones and the world you previously knew or wander around in some afterlife for the rest of eternity with no purpose.

Sounde corny, but I guess the only solution is to cherish every moment you have now.

I love this!

That is amazing.  Fulfilling your purpose is such an ambigious phrase.  It's hard to really define what it even means when you start breaking it down.  Is it personal purpose?  And if so, what is the point of living just to personally achieve or learn something?  Is it playing a part in someone else learning or reaching something?  It's hard to really make sense of it when you start analyzing the definition of purpose as it relates to who we are or how we can trigger change for someone/something else.

Whew!

IDK.

Never really thought about either tbh. All I can do is enjoy and appreciate life while I'm here and when it's my time to go it's my time.

But my question is do y'all have life insurance coverage? So many of us walk around without it like nothing can happen today or tomorrow, it's always good to be prepare for these kinds of things. Although I'll be dead I still want my corpse to be properly buried and not tossed like a piece of trash.

FINE.

LOL  :blush:
I was leaving work like maybe almost a month ago and it was raining
I was turning off a ramp and my truck hydroplaned and I spun around and hit the railing. I was so scared and thought I was a fucking goner. I got out to see what was over the railing and if I had went through it, it wouldn't have been too damn nice. But during all that I had this weird flashback of all my family and loved ones. It was so scary. I really thought I was going to die.
