you are gonna die
 

its true. i don't know you or your circumstances or anything about you, nor do i particularly care. i do know for a fact you are gonna die. don't know when or how, but it's gonna happen.

how do you feel about that? do you even think about it? do you care?

I put little stock into thinking or caring about my demise. Like you said, it will happen. It's the one for sure thing in this life. Why waste my time thinking about it? Everything's already been figured out for me...

No, I'm not gonna die.

Hence I feel nothing.

Hence I don't care.

Squeeb, are you PWI?

But, yeah, I could swear we've got several threads dedicated to this.

My mortality doesn't bother me. I've thought about it after going through some nasty situations while "serving my country." Honestly, I don't really care because I have yet to build anything with my life so far. I'll care when I've got the house and wife and kids (cats)... when I have Responsibilities (TM).

When I think about my mortality, I think about my father. When I came home from my last deployment and ditched the military he told me that he'd done everything in his life that he'd made Major Life Goals decades ago. Worthwhile career, nice house, endlessly chatty wife, and seeing his kids grow up and become successful young men. There were several occasions where he could have very easily died due to organ failures and subsequent hospital fuck-ups. He told me that while it was scary, he was okay with it... because he felt he'd done his job with his life. Something about that simple statement floors me. Mission accomplished? In life? Hell, I can't even begin to fathom that... I'm so torn by little things in life every day. I gripe about my grades and girlfriends.

Him? No Dr. Phil bullshit, no whining, no tears. The man was hooked up to machines like some kind of wrinkled CPU and told me he was okay with things.

He is a man that understands purpose and I pray that I can meet my end with the same kind of wisdom and dignity.

I have much to learn from him before he goes.

what is PWI? if it means fucked up, yea, right now, i'm pretty fucked up

Posting While Intoxicated

Is this insightful?

Drunk. Yes.

I came to terms with the idea that My Time Is Limited about a decade ago. The reasons behind this are not, I think, very interesting to many people who aren't me and are simply my own besides that, so I'm not going to share them here. Regardless, I'm comfortable with the fact and do my best to make the most of the time I have with the full foreknowledge that it could be over any moment.

“Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.”

I've made my peace with death. I have some beliefs about the afterlife and the soul that help matters, and as for everything else...death is just inevitable. It is the final part of life. There's no sense freaking out about it.

I was going to post something snarky like this and call it a day but that song along with much of my music collection is proof enough of the fact that death is a pretty big deal in my life. I'd love to put it in a box along with all the other irreconcilables but the sooner I've packed them away, the sooner I'm playing with them again.

Yup, sounds about right.

Heh... heh-heh.

lol, bring your A game ...

Another kill Xerxys thread, eh?

What? No. I was being dead serious earlier.

Then somehow my post-graduation homicide present came up and, ya know, I got all excited.

Sometimes I need a wet nap to clean up.

Haha. Just remember you asked for it.

There's enough love to go around if you're feeling neglected. I wouldn't even have to get my hands dirty with you as I'd simply strap you to a chair for 8 hours and leave you in a room with the entire greenday discography on shuffle - I'm pretty sure you'd do yourself in after that.

Listen to Shatner on this one:

Dhammapada, Chapter IV, Aphorism 47:

Death carries off a man who is gathering flowers and whose mind is distracted, as a flood carries off a sleeping village.

Don't waste your time.

I'm glad I'm going to die. Glad I don't know when. Scared though of the pain or involuntary terror that may happen during said event. Otherwise can't wait to see what's on the other side. Plus I'm hoping all my pain will be gone after I'm dead.

eh. yes. so are you. everything begins and ends. Anyone with half a brain cell considers it at some point. There's not much to be done about it. Just keep living the best you can.

Absolutely.
No worries.
It'll be here when it gets here.
Just keep doin' what I'm doin'.

Hooray, Death!!!! Death always wins.

I have a bad tendency not to live it up, but I've got no other regrets........

I am not going to die. I base this postulation on the fact that I have not died yet.

yes, i will, i just hope it's quiet.

^^This. I'm not "ready", but I don't fear it. On the whole, I don't have regrets.
