do you ever think about your own mortality? or are you too lost in the minutiae of everyday life? I think about death constantly. It's the only thing on my mind.

It's important to acknowledge death without being paralyzed by it. You should live life knowing you will probably die sooner than you think, but as a way to make everyday feel that much more important, to live life alive and vividly

the thought of reincarnation seems logical to me and brings me comfort.

I think about it every day. Not in any sad or dark way but more as this definer of life. The main boss of life, if you will.
Death by its nature defines life. It's the main motivator behind every living thing: virtually every endeavor and action boils down to trying to avoid it, yet we never can. If there was an innate meaning to human existence it would be to overcome that fear of death (even if in practice it may be impossible).

Just imagine a man who truly didn't fear anything, who never thought about consequences or comforts but let his principles guide his every choice. I want to be like that man. I think about that every day.

I'm perfectly content with death, i don't have any dependants from family, pets, etc.
My only real concern is becoming paralyzed or blind.

I got over it when I was a teenager, when I ditched religion around the same time. Paradoxically I'm more of a risk-taker now despite only believing I only have one life.

first realised i was gonna die age 5 or 6
cried like a bitch
no one was really helpful desu so i kept those thoughts to myself
i had what i would, in hindsight, consider panic attacks througout my early teens
made peace with death when i realised im more scared of the state of helplessness one is in during the moments before death
like if you didnt want to die in that moment but there is nothing to stop death coming for you... imagine the panic and fear and horror someone is experiencing in that moment; the absolute helplessness
so i decided that i will kill myself when i am mentally healthy, ready to face death in the future, before i get to a state where i am helpless against death

>>220774515
I do think about killing myself a lot if that's what you mean.

Wow, even though your flag would indicate that you have brown skin, that is quite a profound thought. You have made me 1.2% less racist today, saar.

>>220774515
I don't care. Everybody dies, nothing I can do about it so no point in thinking about it.
Can happen in 50 minutes or 50 years, either way I'll be dead and gone.

i hate driving. when im on the road all it takes is for someone to swerve into my lane for us both to die or get horribly maimed. and people look at their phone when they drive way too much. I feel like its not a matter of if it'll happen, but when.

I do think about it very often, specially last few months it probably has been the main thought circulating in the back of my mind. Its kind of terrifying but fascinating at the same time just pondering the mystery of consciousness and what lies behind the veil of death. I would say that I have gotten to a very good degree of acceptance of my own mortality that lately I just feel like nothing matters in a way, because it doesnt. I gues this is similar to the meditation that some Buddhists practice which is called "meditation on death and impermanence". Those huge concerns that you have suddenly become meaningless when you remember that you will die. In that sense my outlook on life has changed tremendously in the last few years.

There's also this book which I started but haven't finished called "The Denial of Death" which argues that everything humans do is to avoid the fact that they are going to die and it does really make sense and helps putting things in perspective, most people dont want to confront their own mortality.

Rarely honestly. If it happens, then mostly if I lie in my bed. Guess it has something to do with exhaustion or stress, because it sometimes happens, when I pull all nighters. Not really helpful, when I try to get rest.
