This = not a post about being suicidal. This post is for people living a good life with a solid personality.
Do you look forward to dying or are you afraid of it?`
If you are afraid of it, why? Is there a REAL rational reason for being afraid?
Can you think of reasons to look forward to your death with a sense of peace and optimism?
Debussey thinks looking forward to your death with peace and optimism, and almost a kind of excitement, all while living a great life on earth and being responsible = the way to go. It also makes the most logical sense.

at 70 I hope I get hit by a freakin bus !

Is that so you can live out your remaining years as a cripple, having hot nurses spongebath you, while you drool on yourself and get uncontrollable boners?

Fuck no I don't want to die I want to live a crack one off forever !!!!!!
-
I tend not to think about dying.
People who do have something mentally wrong with them.

Remember this:
No matter how rich you are…
No matter how many friends you have…
The size of your funeral will depend on the weather.

I often wonder about it but dont obsess over it. When it happens it happens , its in Gods hands not mine

I concur :)

I agree with you, STella...but the real question here - the one that keeps me up at night - is Do others look forward to my death with peace and optimism?

If you become a real asshole and start murdering people, they might do as well :D

At the moment I do because oblivion would be preferable to this sleep deprivation I have.

How did you sleep last night?

i am not afraid to die so much as in i think i am more afraid of the way i will die. some suffer alot, and others just go to bed and wake up in heaven or hell by dying in their sleep. i mean, if i get shot a 1/2 dozen times point blank in my chest or gut, that's it. if i have to suffer and gasp and choke before i die, i don't think i'm gonna' like that too much. :-\

not true

remember this....once youre dead and gone, you won't even know you were alive in the first place. So just relax about death.
-
I think you have total control over what happens when you die...I think anyone who is content in being the person they are NOW really must have a huge set of nuts...

not true
I believe that was an old Red Skelton quote.
Bless him.

Why is Debussey in time out again?

Can't wait to tell John this. ta Monty! (It's so English!

peace, for sure. Guess that's what death is. I'm definitely not scared to die as I have learned a bit of spirituality along this long road called life.
optimism I'm working on. Perhaps that's something which comes with age and wisdom. My next door neighbour said yesterday to me (after other neighbours had set fire to their sofa whilst high or something and wasted more taxpayers money than I earn in a month on two fire engines and 2 cop cars for 3 hours), "Kinda makes you look forward to death, doesn't it"? He lives in the flat above where the fire was. Very sarcastic man, my neighbour John.

I'm not about to welcome death, because I'm sure it's a long way aways yet: I've always thought I'd die at 99 in my sleep with a great many books next to me, stacked up, unread.

Great words by my favorite philosopher, Alan Watts:
-
Wow thank you so much! I'd read his books maybe 20 years ago, but didn't realise that he's still alive (is he?) and is on UTube. That was perhaps one of the best 10 minutes I've ever spent.
Looking forward

I'm so glad you could find him again! 20 years is a while back! I just started reading his books. I'm on the his second book. I read The Book and am now on Does It Matter?
The funny thing is, he died even before you read his books. His departure was in the early 70s.
I made a thread all about Watts a while back. I'll bump it back up. It's in the General too. And it has more videos and info. :)
awesome thanks...

Death in the end is the only reality we have to face, yet somehow we manage to suppress the thought of it most of our lifes. Unfortunally most of us live our lifes like we are immortal.
And yes, in the few moments I am able to face it, I'm scared shitless. I know that it shouldn't be that way, but that's how it is.
-
Death only scares us because of all that we have invested in our egos.

I know this topic started in late January and posting about a month later looks meaningless. I did because I never thought of Life itself, in a way that you would be able to even ponder the idea of looking forward to your own mortality or death with peace and optimism. The ironic twist to that is it would be easily misguided to live everyday in a happy way with peace and optimism.
My reason for saying that is because I have to assume that the one who started this subject might have a deep insightful understanding of the religious aspects of death in the world.
-

Why would that be misguiding?
-
I think that would be misguided because these days you could be unlucky and run into a situation where someone is killing people at random the way you hear about so many homicidal types of multiple shootings like the one on Valentine's Day.
-
I certainly don't look to old age with peace and optimism.
