Does your mortality sadden you?

As a young 18 year old I normally don't think of death, but it hit me hard today how we and all our loved ones die. I mean, our lives basically start going downhill after mid-life, and we can only do so much in the little time we are given.

And then death hits us, where we lose all our consciousness (still can't fathom this) while the world continues to go on around us.

Makes me sigh, OT. I weep for our mortal lives.

Me right now:

It used to, but now, not so much..........

I went through an awkward phase as a teenager where it bothered me a lot... I've just come to accept it in time

No, I want to die eventually.

nope not bothered in the slightest.

Im old TC.

Let me wallow alone in self pity on my rocking chair and save me these disturbing topics.

Just thinking about it a lot, comming to terms with it, and deciding to do as I please and enjoy the short time on this spec of space dust known as Earth...............

Right now in my life some times dying doesn't sound half bad.

Most days however sure it worries me some.

But why waste our time worrying about death anyways ? We are all going to die eventually why not enjoy the ride of life until we get there ?

I would prefer to live forever, but dying is fine too.

Nope.

No. I look forward to dying one day.

Sometimes but I tend not to think about it too much, I'm the focus on the here and now type of person I suppose.

Nope. It's part of the circle of life.

Hardly, it makes me happy. I get to be a blob of atoms in a cosmic soup that was given the chance to know where it came from and its placein the universe. That I get one chance at it and can live in a time where I can know so much about my surrounding and the history of it and enjoy it with others brings me joy

The only thing that saddens me is not being sure what happens after my mortality ends. Afterlife better not suck.

eh i live a reclusive life and with lifes experiences i welcome death. the thought of just falling out of existence is welcoming to me.

Other people's mortality saddens me more than my own as I likely won't notice when I shuffle off this mortal coil, but I will certainly miss my friends and family that pass before I do.

dying suddenly does scare me sometimes.

dying eventually does not.

every story has to come to an end at some point and you've only got so much running time to go. so don't waste it.

If you enjoyed it doing things that others think is wasteful, you did not waste it if you genuinely enjoyed it.

I would be lying if I said it doesn't constantly bother me, unlike most who would consider eternal life a curse, I would consider it a blessing

When you have a family member suffering, you realize that death can be a blessing. That was the case with my Dad, who passed away this summer.

While I don't want to die anytime soon, I am thankful I will die one day and leave my legacy to my child.

No, if anything people live too long.

I think you need to be made aware of howinsignificant you really are. Your life means nothing. What you do means nothing. If you died, the world wouldn't notice.You are just a spec of dirt in a universe filled with things much more imporant than you

This article helped me out a bit...

Nope. Every time I open my 'eyes' I am faced with it. And every time someone mentions the scent of something... long story.

It bothered me when I was your age. Now I've come not only to accept it, but somewhat welcome it.

I've had brain cancer twice, been through all 5 stages of grief, and even wrote my own eulogy just in case. I'm tired.

The thought of living forever scares the shyte out of me, and I personally think it's the height of human selfishness that so many people want it.

i welcome death. all life is meaningless!

The thought of having to die doesn't really sadden me as much as it gives me major chills when circumstances allow me to have a deeper understanding of what it means to die.

Yes my mortality really saddens me a bit. I would be lying if I said otherwise.

I mean what's the purpose of inventing warp drives, super-intelligent supercomputers and nanomedicine if we are all going to die one day? It looks like it's all for nothing really.

None of our dreams are going to become true if we are all going to die so why even waste time pursuing dreams?

Sometimes I wish the the forests were enchanted and that we could stay eternally young, eternally free and eternally happy.

no i don't want to die.

no i don't want to die.
