No matter what religion you are death is always around.
It's interperated in different ways in different cultures/ religions.
interesting.. What's your opinion on death and maybe afterlife?
I think Death is a good thing... yeah how weird that may sound.. let me explain with this dialogue i had with a friend
friend: "What's the use of life when you're going to die anyways..?"
me: "What is the use of life without death..?"
me: "Thanks to death.. life has become so important to be lived!"
friend: 3nodding
yeah.. well that's my opinion about it!

I agree, death gives you a real... zest for life! However, living to die... not a very happy prospect.
I think that no matter what religion you should rejoice that you're not dead, not try to work your a** of and despair to be worth of wherever you think you're going when you die.
Ah... I don't know if I made any sense there.

I don't think that it's so much death itself that adds zest to life, but more like the uncertainty encircling death. Hard as we believe what we do, we don't KNOW what happens after death. Therefore, we live life to it's fullest, because death really MIGHT be the end.
Well, at least that's how I see it.
Here's my philosophy: I see death as inevitable. I will die when I was fated to die. Therefore, there isn't a thing in the world I can do to stop myself from dying when I'm fated to. Since there isn't a thing I can do, why worry about it?I live a life not afraid of dying.

Son of Axeman Here's my philosophy: I see death as inevitable. I will die when I was fated to die. Therefore, there isn't a thing in the world I can do to stop myself from dying when I'm fated to. Since there isn't a thing I can do, why worry about it?I live a life not afraid of dying. Is this philosophy built on the idea that there is indeed fate and/or fated deaths, in that a death is fated to happen at a certain time and a certain spot in space for a certain individual? If so, then, what if fate, such as that, does not exist?

Mredria I agree, death gives you a real... zest for life! However, living to die... not a very happy prospect. I think that no matter what religion you should rejoice that you're not dead, not try to work your a** of and despair to be worth of wherever you think you're going when you die. Ah... I don't know if I made any sense there. yeah well you got a point there, i didn't meant it that way though... Living to die isn't good.. it was more like: "Living your life worthy because as we know the life will end by death(?)" And make that time worth while biggrin

Nevertheless, we all live to die in some sense as it holds that certain inevitability. I honor death greatly, though I'm not sure if I do so more than most. Without death there is no life. I think people forget about the sacrifices of life that happen daily so that you may live. That chicken you're eating? You've killed it... it is dead so that you may live. That carrot? Same thing. It is little different when people die... what doesn't become food to support other life becomes habitat for them to walk on. Being part of that cycle is a great honor to me... enough so that the question of any spiritual afterlife is a lot less important to me than it is for many others.
Along those lines, in some ways I agree with what Axeman wrote. Things come when they come and ones deals with it how one deals with it... be that running from death or facing its inveitability. But... any way you look at it, belief in fate or free will is nonfalsifiable. Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses.

theres one other uncertainy surrounding death, axeman: when its gonna happen. you never know if youre gonna wake up in the morning when you go to sleep, or get T-boned by a semi while youre driving. but then, that also adds to the zest for life, cause you gotta do what you can before yer gone and pushin up daisies.

I think death is part of life. It's unavoidable and natural. I'm not too afraid of it. I'm not sure if there could be an afterlife. I'm undecided. If there is an afterlife waiting for me, I would like to spend eternity exploring a vast, neverending forest.

wow do i feel like i'm just reposting the same thing over and over. i don't know about an afterlife. i think death is going to happen and is likely the end. so, as somebody else has said, one has to live life to the fullest. we need to be continually mindful that neither we nor those we care about will be around forever. thus we need to love as much as possible now. not a month or week or day or hours before or even worse after someone is gone but now.

Death is what gives life its value. It is what happenes when it is time for you to have a new life, when your current life has run its course. After you die you will be reincarnated, and you will continue to live, die, and reincarnate.

If there was no death then there would be no life. Just as if there was no life there would be no life. They go hand in hand and rely on each other. If there was no death our existance would be meaningless because we would juse be

I believe death is very important, and entirely unnavoidable. Were someone or something to transpass it, the universe would no longer work. This is because, when something dies, new life takes its place, and in fact, death must occur for more life to exist. Conciquentally, I beleive in reincarnation. -Wolfsbane ~Blessed be~

If you look at death from a scientic viewpoint, it is nessary. We need it so organisms don't crowd the Earth and so we can get soil.
If you look at death from an ecnomic viewpoint, it is nessary. Where do you think oil and fossil fuels come from? They come from dead plants and animals.
If you look at death from my viewpoint, it is nessary. Without death, people would be too damm lazy to do anything. Nothing would get done.

Death is a most definite end for me. Afterward I'll be burned to ashes and scattered amongst the flowers.
But the experience of death, however, is something I look forward to.
You always hear people saying "Oh if I die I want to die quick and painlessly!"
But I don't. I want dying to be the slowest thing I ever do. Think about it. Its the last experience I'll ever have, and I want to know what it feels like to die. I won't be here afterward to regret it, because, well, I'll be dead. If its the last thing I do, I want it to last long enough for it to actually become that profound moment where I get to say "Wow. THIS is what it all led up to. THIS is dying."
I look forward to it, whenever it may come.
*NOTE: I am not in any way emo. I just happen to think death is exciting. When you think about it the right way.
