Do we just die because we just accept death as an inevitability?

Death is the Great Equalizer,and the Bringer of Relief.\nIt is also part of the cycle that all animals on the planet\nare part of-to live is to feed on death.\n Do you want to live forever? Besides,if nobody died the planet would be overpopulated in an unbelievably short time\nto the extent that there would be no open spaces anywhere.\nNo thanks-death may not be fun but it's necessary.

I like the spirit of your philosophy, but as to the exact wording, it seems backwards to me. Try this: We don't know how, but faith allows us to know that everything is going to work out, somehow. Faith is a way of knowing, we can not know everything, but we can understand almost everything if we know the subject matter. More and more facts are coming to light for us everyday that we live if we live in faith, with one small exception. Death always catches us flatfooted. Unless, we are very old and or very wise and courious, and ready to find out.

you're right, if they die, then that's it but if they  spend life imprisonment, then they repent for the rest of their lives. even though it may seem more reasonable to execute the becuase of the cost, we are becomin murderers ourselves. we shouldn't take life, it's not our job.

Wow...i contemplate this question ALL the time.  I'm scared to think that after we die...that is the end.  So I guess for sanity's sake I try to convince myself there is more.  I don't know...this question always gets to me.

I definately believe that. I think we all have a "plan" of life. And that if something is meant to be it will be. The road might be rocky getting there but it will happen as it is supposed to.\nAnd if it isnt meant to be it  wont. You can not force it to.\nI also believe everything happens for a reason even if it isnt apparent to us what the reason is at the time.

You know - this is a lot like whisper down the lane.  Let's stop for a minute and think about this stuff rationally.\n\nFrom where I am sitting, I have found that there is no devil beyond our own worst emotions - and there is no hell beyond being steeped in our own worst emotions.  As far as I can see, we humans are running the show - but more like a bunch of college students on our own independent course of study.  We come, we learn, we go - we very likely come back again.\n\nSome deaths are tragic - and some have far reaching implications like nothing else in this world.  Some deaths are welcome - there comes a time when the journey is over, don't you think?\n\nGod is a little easier to understand if you think of it as the energy that powers this existence more than some old guy in the sky using us like Barbie dolls.  We all come here of our own choosing to learn something specific, not to be coddled and live in a paradise and do nothing.  It's meant to be a challenge.\n\nPeace!

As I don't believe anything more than the worms is waiting for us, I'd be happy to postpone 'that dreadful day' as long as possible. Even if it meant repeatedly seeing my loved ones die... But not if I was condemned to live forever in pain (this question often seems to presume that you wouldn't). So actually, I'd like to 'live forever' in the sense that nothing or nobody else could kill me, but I'd like to be able to reserve the right myself to kill myself.

Darling don't dance around the question it was in you to ask it. Now be courageous and ask it. otherwise the collective wisdom of this forum won't really help. Now what do you want to know?\n\nI'll say that the expiration of life from this world does not terminate your existence.

You will simply cease to exist, as we all will.  At least in your case you will get to the end of your life knowing you have done something worthwhile and fulfilling with your time.

Death is just a part of life.  you have to learn how to deal with it. i'm not afraid of dieing.\n\nI would say life is a series of events, with different emotions and experiances, try to have kids, survive, and die. everyone dies, think of all the living things that have died on this planet sents life began on it. try and hade a good happy life, or a sad evil life. choose your own religion, or not. \n\nMany things can happen to your body after death, rot, mummify, be petrified. I believe that if there is a soul that it is only energy and it is released into the surrounding elements. You make your own hell or heaven here and now. You might be brought back to life through future genetic research, but you would be totally different because of your surroundings.

NO, NO, and NO. It is not for us to decide when we die or how we choose to die. That is God's decision and his alone. Of coarse that is just my belief and opinion but you asked. Doctors have taken an oath to preserve life, and to make patients comfortable, but when they choose to cross that line then they are breaking the oath that they have taken, which is wrong.  Suicide is wrong but I would never judge someone who chooses that path, I don't know where they are mentally, but if it is premeditated because of illness that can't be acceptable. We are suppose to endure to the end. Nothing less in God's eyes I feel is acceptable, but ultimately it is between a person and their maker.\n\n2 Cor. 1: 6 \n6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.\n\nSometimes we don't always understand things but all things are meant to bring us closer to our maker. In closing I wanted to include this story, I myself have gone through something very traumatic. I have experienced the refiners fire.\n\n The Silversmith\n\nMalachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver". \n \nThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the Character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire And let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to Hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest As to burn away all  the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver The entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered, Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it" \n \nIf today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in You.

How come a human is alive one minute, and dead the next minute?\n          Body is like a car.  One day, it just quit running.\nWhy do humans just die?\n          Humans do not just die.  Unless it's an accident, it takes a long time, maybe even a decade or two, to die.  We just don't recognize the death until its symptons are more apprent.  \nWhat is the point of death?\n          What is the point of living?\nHow do we die?\n          When major organs start failing.\nWhat is the point of living when you are going to die?\n          There is no point.  But people usually go for something that makes them happy and feel less pain.

Yes, it could be possible but are you willing to live that way throught out your life?  If you ask me, I prefer to live as human being. To be able to live, to care for each other. \nThere is nothing wrong if we die one day, its because we are HUMAN BEINGS.

When you die, that's it.  There is no purpose to life except the purpose you give it.  \n\nThis may seem depressing if you've never pondered it before, but once you accept it, it's immensely liberating.

I don't think any religion will make death something you long for, except I guess wahabiist Islam.  I would urge you to turn to Christianity so at least you'll be on the path to eternal life.  Scared or not of death, when you do actually die you'll be very happy.

We take life for granted because we believe ours will continue, no matter how oeverwhelming the evidence is that we all must die someday, for many of us, the thought of our own death is just too final to deal with, so we push it aside again and again. We assume there's plenty of time to do the things we always mean to, because, hey, we are gonna live FOREVER! If I had only one day to live, I would spend it telling my 5 adult children how much I loved them, how much their being in the world was so important to me, how beautiful and talented they are, and how proud of them i am. I would tell my partner how much i love him, we would probably make love one more time. I would like to have one last lovely meal with him, with lots of wine, of course, then try and stay awake with him and sit there holding his hand while I waited for my hour. I would ask forgiveness of my children for any pain I had caused them. I would try not to be afraid, I would try to think that I would soon be meeting my beloved dad again.
