Welcome to Gaia! ::

I am no longer phased by death, nor do I fear it. Sometimes I welcome death because of my tragic past.

At this modern age people live lives of joy, never actually thinking that people you know are being hurt in their own homes by the very people who should be protecting them. I have experience a life with the absolute absence of love. I was raised by a single parent, my father decided to divorce and never take any responsibility.

I believe that the woman who raised me, my mother, blamed me for what happened to her. And she ventilated all her aggression on me.

I have died, I was fed bleach, to this day I fear it. When I was laying on the floor, I could feel my heart pounding, I was scared and no one was around to save me. My stomach felt strange and I couldn't breathe...
I knew that I was going to die and finely I came to peace with everything.

The next thing that I can remember is waking up on my "bed." It consisted of a couple of blankets on the floor. I was alive, but for some reason I felt that I wasn't anymore.

Now I feel as if I'm an husk, an empty shell waiting, walking the earth seeking a resolution for my existence.

Death is a part of life, life does not end there, but the physical does. Spiritually life goes on, even though you can not see it. Do you know the darkness in your mind? The part that you fear before you go to sleep? The world is a like an iceberg. The physical world everyone can see the individuality of other, but going under the surface everyone is connected spiritually. How else can you explain the dreams of seeing people you have never seen before only to find that they do exist? Or when someone has passed away and the loved one comes to you in a dream?

Death is not a conclusion, it's just a point in existence...

Death to me is a perfectly natural part of existing. Everything dies. It's not something "horrible" or sad, what's "saddening" or can be, is the idea that you might not "see" the people anymore. It's the personal loss of those that survive that "can" be sad.
I view "death" as somewhat of a reset button in general. I believe in reincarnation as it seems the only logical course of action. Everything in nature is recycled, why not the energy, the chi, the soul, and whatever else you want to call it. Death is a traumatic event however, one that probably triggers all the natural defenses of the psyche that which allow us to "forget". After all, if one lifetime can host enough issues for us to be a mess, why drag around past issues as well.
I do not fear death, I fear pain and loss, and that is different.

So then... Death. The end of life. What is it to you? Being a Christian I believe "Death is only the beginning" < I dont remember where that quote comes from. I bealieve that once your physical self dies your spiritual self is freed and you get to go Live with the angels and God, Become a gaurdian or you can choose to remain on the earth as a ghost/spirit of some sort. Yes I know not all of those listed are strictly christian, but its the way I interpret things, I mean the soul has to go somewhere while we wait for His return, and thats what I think happens. 3nodding

Are you afraid to die? Nope I honestly am not afraid to die,

Why do you feel this way? I bealive this to be due to what I bealieve happens when we die.

Death is inevitable, why fear it?

Death is a long long looong sleep after a very long day..

i dont fear it... there's no need to fear this
its just a phase in our lives that we all have to go through. cheese_whine

So then... Death. The end of life. What is it to you?
Just a stopping point. Because of my beliefs death is just a part of our existence here on earth. It is necessary to be resurrected and to become like God. I don't mourn the loss of the ones I love, I have never even cried after someone has died. That may sound terrible but to me it's just like they moved to New York, and I'm not going to be able to visit them for awhile. It's not a loss for me, just a delay.

Are you afraid to die?
This is a big fat resounding yes. I don't want to be, and I am not affecting when the people around me die for some reason, but I am afraid of dying myself. I can't quite explain it.

Why do you feel this way?
Because of my church, because of my beliefs. I believe in God and eternity and all that stuff. So it is easy for me to accept death and the loss of a loved one because they're not really gone. It is sad that I don't get to enjoy my life on this earth with them in it any longer, but I know that I'll see them again.

What is death to you?
To me, death is inevitable. Everyone will eventually die. Me, you, or anyone else will leave his/her name whether or not it would be remembered. Death itself is the "end of our contract" in the world. As a believer of catholicism, I believe that death is just a bridge from our mortal life to the afterlife.

Do you Fear Death?
No. Death is inevitable; whether it will be now or tomorrow.. nobody knows. Death is like a thief in the darkest night. We'll never know when or where it will appear to us.

Why do you feel this way?
Death is inevitable. Every living thing will die anyway. We should be prepared to face our own death and afterlife in our own belief. At least, we should be responsible for what we had done...
