Who Else takes comfort in the fact that one day Soon(relatively), you'll be Dead?

**yieldtonothing** · Today, 07:39 PM

don't get me wrong, i'm not a morbid fuk. i dont look forward to actually dying...but i kinda look forward to being dead if that makes sense. not being here, being on a different plane. not having to deal with all this day to day bullchit.

i like to think that i can be chilling with my dad's dad just laughing at everyone trying so fuking hard. would be nice.

**shoelaces** · Today, 07:41 PM

No. I finally started making good money and found some new hobbies that I truly enjoy.

If I died soon then all the years of toiling away and suffering would have been for nothing. I want to at least enjoy the fruits of my labor before I die.

Das it mane, haven’t made a friend/been happy in about 18 years. **** is getting old

**Silencespeaks** · Today, 07:45 PM

Yes I see it as finding peace and finally learning your true self in the transition and hopefully a reunion with deceased family and pets.

**JuicedMayhem** · Today, 07:48 PM

I embrace it. So excited to see what’s on the other side.

hey i'm enjoying my time here in this body for what it's worth but i totally hear you. what's the fuking point? i'm pretty sure i've been here before and i cant figure out why the fuk i came back. if it wasn't to fuk around and have a good time, im totally lost

Inb4 this life is just "level 1", and every life after this gets harder and worse.

I gain perspective from it.

Your obsession with me is so weird alt brah

**Cass40** · Today, 08:06 PM

No not really cos I like to be alive and love life but I'm not scared of death, either.

**TheTwilightZone** · Today, 08:08 PM

Fukk no. Death is scary.

It's so scary we've invented supernatural stories about Heaven and Hell to feel better about dying. We can't deal with the fact that we only get like 80 years on this planet and then kaput.

Chit fukkin' sucks when you think about it.

**propreffered7** · Today, 08:10 PM

not me. love life

the finality of death is hard to conceptualize. just briefly talking about it doesn't really scare but then thinking about how life goes on and how little i'll be around is WEIRD

**Cass40** · Today, 08:14 PM

So all the time I have these periods in my life where I learn so many new things and grow or whatever. It's sometimes painful and probably miscers wouldn't put any value in it. Even though I'm old AF I feel like I change all the time, and even if it's painful I never think it's meaningless etc. When people say what's the point or everything is meaningless, don't they experience that?

It is only terrifying from an ego perspective.

From a perspective of awareness and consciousness it’s a very meaningful transition.

Why are you talking about your periods?

I'd rather you talk about your periods than what ever this esoteric mumbo jumbo is.

On death... it's been a good run. I got it in.

prolly not, cause you're prolly talking someone with depression. they're like numbed/ dulled out; consistently flat-lined so they don't experience the vicissitudes of life but a steady, consistent melancholy. specifically, the consistency of it is exactly what "depression" is about

it's changeable but they don't realize it and especially when you're/they're in the thralls of it and inculcated by it

One day you will realize it’s not mumbo jumbo but the truth about your true self. Your true self is merely awareness. Your experience of being a separate person with a separate personality is just an illusion. A fantasy created by ego.

I don't think I've ever been that depressed. Sounds horrible.

You sound like Eckhard Tolle or whatever his name is.

Pretty sure you are cycling through phases of narcissism. Srs

That's not an insult. It's just what it is. Keep working at it. Searching is the right answer. You'll find peace.

they have mild forms of it too. stuff like dysthymia

**JustMoved24** · Today, 08:26 PM

Death is easy, life is hard

Without life being hard, death wouldn’t be such a release

Yeah I love his books. That and Zen Buddhism which is basically the same thing.

“To study the Buddha Way is to study the self.

To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.

When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away.

No trace of enlightenment remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly.”
