My younger sister died six years ago at 20. That did make me think about life and how it is precious. We can go at anytime and anywhere. You just have to live your life to the fullest and when the time comes to die, hope that it is fast and painless.

You should also worry about not killing anyone else in your "accident."

You guys should check out that movie "What the bleep do we know" about quantum mechanics. It may sound corny, but some of the things said there can put your mind at ease. For example, it is very clear that time is just an illusion, and therefore we were never born and will never die. It says a lot of other cool things. Really worth watching IMO.

yes, you never know what can happen, and how serious it can actually be.

for example, i went to the emergency room after a dog bit a couple of weeks ago, i didn't think that much about it other than that i should just go to get antibiotics. well now here i am two weeks later and i have to see a hand surgeon for the second time in a few days to see if i need to have surgery on it because of permanent tendon and nerve damage. :/ i can't feel the top of my hand and some of my knuckles topically, but internally it hurts like hell.

also, an old boss of mine, who is only in his early 30s, found out that he had brain cancer in november or december of 06. in march of 07 they told him that he only had two weeks to live. he is still alive but of course is ready to go any day now..

and that could be any one of us..

when i was younger i was never "afraid" to die. now i think about it a lot and hope that it doesn't happen anytime soon.

I was thinking of all the happy things....Now I am scared thinking of that final destination movie and wont be able to sleep. O well.

Ouch. Hate to hear that

to see him, you would have no idea that he is terminally ill. he still sings (solo) at his church every week, still laughs, still has fun. he is unbelievably calm and accepting of his fate. he is such an inspiration, and really is a great guy. he always tells everyone "don't pray for me, i know what is going to happen to me. pray for my wife and our two little girls, their future is uncertain." :(

when i heard the news, i could't help but start bawling right there in the middle of the store. he is in my thoughts daily.

oops, double post

I wish i were dead. :(

I doubt you are alone

Why?

asdf

Why?

...............

Just enjoy life and don't think about death!

"How can man die better: than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods." - Thomas Babington Macaulay

We all die, at 90 in my sleep after a healthy life would be pretty cool

Death is just the beginning...
