    IF you really conciously thought about out, and understood its reality at a fundamental level, you would scream uncontrollably.

    Imagine watching your death in television decades ahead of time. How creepy would it be? Puts on a whole new perspective.

    imo the only thing that thinking about death before it comes accomplishes is wasting a little bit of life. lol

    i mean, we're inevitably all gonna think about it. it is natural afterall, and currently unavoidable. but you can only go so far with thinking about it philosophically before it becomes a fundamentally worthless endeavor.

    Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't actually get you anywhere.

    LOL everything you do is a waste of life.....your just racing to your grave no matter what you do.

    Death really isn't such a bad thing though.


    I just hope to die peacefully.
