DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO DEATH ?

Not at all. I just retired at 53 after 30 years in oil and gas, the last eleven of which were spent in Canada, the UAE, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Australia and Korea so am ready to live to be 90. I also did a stint at our Deer Park refinery 2000 - 2003. No religion here, just meeting goals set many years ago.
 
Not as much as paying taxes. Based on our system (not my choice), paying taxes is a general sign of ongoing financial health.

As much as I can envision, the only way I'd look forward to death is at a stage of accelerating and irreversible physical or mental deterioration, rendering me not just useless or in severe pain, but also a significant burden to family.
 
George Burns once said that growing old is not so bad when you consider the alternative. I disagree; Dying isn't so bad when you consider the alternative (old and vegetative).

Don't look forward to it but don't far it. Would like it to have some meaning, though!
 
As a forward looking person I acknowledge that I will someday die. At only 60+ years old I will leave it to my survivors to pick out my casket and resting spot. If they toss me in the river I am fine with that.
 
If you have no beliefs and do not acknowledge the Creator then it's no different than being enveloped by Morpheus and just not waking up.
 
Planning Ahead

I'm 80 and have been shipping two guns a year to my son in TX (his birthday and Christmas). He never knows what he's getting. Lucky guy is getting a pristine 952-2 for his birthday in June.

Not afraid of death; just planning ahead and thinning out all the "stuff".
 
I've considered it, but I'd like to think my work here isn't finished yet.
