Is it normal to think about death multiple times a day?

Tom_Cruise

Does everyone do this? Is it a natural thought process?

I Luv Crysis

I'm thinking about death right now,

Probably due to the morbid nature of this thread.

Thanks.

Do you?

Fcukin hell Tom,even by your standards this is morbid:(

I don't think it's a normal process at all but thats just my opinion!

Tbh first thing this morn I said, "Jaysus I'm dying" but that was after 4 heavy days on the 'gas'!

I'm sure some people do think about it often but it's not for me

Not cool Tom!!!

Well, not as cool as a morgue.

Yes, but not always in a depressed kind of way, more of the curious kind.

Yours death or other people's?

No, it's not normal if you think about it multiple times every single day, unless of course you spend your days attending funerals.

My death. I understand how selfish that sounds.

It's a common means to socialising in the countryside.

It doesn't sound selfish, odd maybe.

What exactly do you think about - how you die, imagine your funeral etc?

Tom are you not going to mars or some far off galaxy to become an alien or something?

Relax bro you'll be one of the lucky ones to experience another dimension!

Serious answer: I think everyone goes through stages when they think about death and loved ones dying. Get busy if it starts to get you down because basically there is fock all you can do about it.

Wasting your time thinking of death is a waste of life.

I was at a funeral just before Xmas and it was like a party. Pub hired out for the day, band and DJ hired and focking chicken wings to eat.

If it wasn't their grandmother that died and the occasional breakdown I'd of said they were delighted she died!

Do animals know they are going to die? I know critters (chipmunks etc) don't.

I've heard that some cats leave home to die but don't know if it's true.

You seem like a cheery sort:cool:

I have read that about cats too.

Anyway.. Yeah, I think of death a lot. The thing that disturbs me is that you are truly on your own in the process and nobody can go there with you to help you along the way. But at the same time people who know that death is near seem to be at peace and are ready for it. It's a fascinating subject.

She had a cute arse Tom, granted but time to move on eh.

'What happens when you die?' The one question we will never know the answer to when we're alive. That's why it fascinates us. Yes, we have the accounts of people who have been resuscitated, science telling us that the bright light and our life experiences being 'flashed before our eyes' are a way of our brain trying to make sense of what' happening etc, but the truth is when we really find out it's too late for us to tell anyone.

I'm thinking about it now:(.

Unfortunately, in my late teens and early twenties, an inordinate number of young people (18-25 age group) from school/local area/drinking buddies etc died in quick succession, from car crashes, accidents at work or on the road, down to suicide. 4 in a 6 month period alone, and another few tragedies spaced out over the years ... and now and again an old photo or anecdote will pop up on Facebook, or when out ("remember when ...?"), so yes it can be quite morbid, but also serves as a fresh reminder of our fragility.

Damn you OP.

But is it all that bad? I'm amazed at the people I've known, seen in the media etc.. that seem to accept it. Do they see something we don't? Is there a stage that the brain will make the host accept death?

I hope death has a After Party, because The Main Event stinks!

Some people fight it to the end, others will accept that they are terminally ill. I suppose accepting it will a sense of peace, after all fighting the inevitable must be exhausting. A lot of it comes down to individual temperament, your age, outlook on life and death and whether you feel you've achieved all you want. Or maybe some people just think 'what can I do' and put on a brave face.

My only fear of death is reicarnation, busting out my adverseries like a mental patient

No it doesnt. If we were all to put our problems up on a table right now, I bet you'd only take back your own.

Regardless of what that person accomplished during their life on Earth or what horrible disease happened to cross their path, I believe all dying people have the same thing in common. They all accept the end of life when it's near.

The **** you and your lot have said about Lord Xenu I'm not surprised you think about death so much, he's a coming to getcha, Jesus that is...
