It's a thought that has been stuck in my brain, more of a fact actually, just something I never really thought about.

From a pessimistic perspective, you can be a great person, never get any enemies, just live your life, and then one day: you get mugged and killed. You're gone. Just like that.

Kind of sad when you think about it. :(

Welcome to life. Enjoy your stay.....or not! Heh. Op, the chances of of you getting killed in a mugging, at least in first world countries, is pretty low. Way more things to worry about than that.

Muggers tend to take your stuff and not murder you. If you are they worried then take up some sort of martial arts. A swift kick to the face usually surprises attackers.

Oh wow, didn't realize there would be such a misunderstanding. Muggers were just an example. I'm talking about general stuff in life that can happen, like ya know, slipping off a rooftop, getting stepped on by an elephant, get your neck broken in a football match.

Then again, I guess I should stop pondering about all the nasty stuff that can happen and just live on and be happy :D

Enough pessimism for today. :lol:

Still, a martial arts class would make you feel less fragile. Also, don't play football near elephants or on rooftops and you'll be cool.

I honestly wouldn't care if I died an hour from now. Everything just happens and you can't do a single thing about it. I've learned not to care unfortunately because I've been close to death a few times already. I'm honestly very scared to die though and don't wish for it to be painful, but I'm excited to see if there's anything on the other side. :)

TC, you remind me of the saying 'Memento Mori' which generally means 'Remember you will die'.I think it means pretty much what you said, that being you could be on top of the world one day then dead the next.

But my answer to the question is no i don't really think about it:)

Yeah, I sorta realize it sometimes. But at the end of the day you have to put it aside and just live life.
