Same rules apply---keep the theological sermons out of it.

I rather enjoyed the insight gained from the first query.

PS--if you wish my opinion, on either question. I will be happy to share if you PM me .
Blessings

Not me but my dad certainly did . He and my mom were married 72 years, I think he for all purposes died when she did. He lived 5 more years, almost to the day and when death came he welcomed it. A strong man in life and in death. I hope when my time comes I can measure up. I imagine my dad and Federalis dad who passed about the same time would have had much in common.
 
No, I don't fear death. When my time comes I'll be at peace.
And no I'm not looking to speed the process up.
 
The last time I had a hangover, I was wishing for a quick and merciful death. I do not look forward to my ride being over. I believe I will be a little disappointed that the ride ended so soon.
 
To quote Woody Allen, I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be around when it happens.
 
Of course I don't "look forward" as in eager.

I think as the years pass I am increasingly more aware of the inevitability of it, but I wouldnt want to be one of those who obsesses. Life is too short to spend much time thinking about being dead. I figure there will plenty of time for that after....

In my short time on this little speck in the vast universe I have been a devout believer in a spiritual afterlife and gone the complete reversal and believed that in the end nothing happens, its just over. Either way I was never scared of the end and always made sure my famly was well cared for if I went prematurely. Coming up on 64 next month and been through multiple accidents and near death situations, the war in Vietnam, surviving prostate cancer coming up on 11 years, there is nothing to fear. I have considered all the many possibilities from belief in the Man in the Sky to it all being about energy and the infinite possibilities rolling out of that discussion, call the end of life as we know it the beginning of a new adventure and hope everyone involved is a little higher evolved...thats kind of what I like to tell folks that ask me what I believe. Otherwise were back to nothing happens, lights out, the Big Sleep. Either way I'm OK...
 
It's a beautiful song, but the lyrics of Mahalia Jackson's song on the subject (Trouble Of The World) kind of creeps me out. I won't post it here, because of the no religion rule, but it's available on YouTube, (by DeyJohnson).

I don't look forward to death. I just keep waiting for my Good Karma Reward, that never comes. :)
