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.

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?

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 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

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. $:-\$

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...

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.

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
