Aren't we all just basically sitting around waiting to die?

We all die. There's no way around it. Its like a story that you want to write and you have how it begins and you know that its going to end in a final way somehow. Now what do you do put into the middle? You know the old saying,'Do the most with what you have available to you.' Life is temporary, everything is temporary. Life is an oppurtunity to improve yourself. If you dont believe in reincarnation or an afterlife, 'an oppurtunity to improve yourself' might not make any difference. We have theories about what state people are in before and after life, but none of these are absolutely proven. We have a better idea about the nature of life, so that can be something to focus on. I have this theory that 'there is no limit to how bad things can get'. This helps me because I know that the negative has unlimited options and I know that I could spend my whole life floating in uncertainty and vagueness, having no focus, should I direct my attentions to negativity.  Positives are more limited and easier to focus on. Thats just my take on it, it may just be mumbo jumbo to you. There is another way. You know that you can find enjoyment and pleasure in life. Seek them, but try not to cause others to suffer as you do so. Life might just be for fun and your body an amusement park. If life has no point, it is still a matter of character to treat others with dignity and grace. The Golden Rule and all that. \nhttp://subgenius.com\nhttp://slackoff.blogspot.com

We all have to die with something. Some people have to suffer, and some die  in peace. because of sin in the world we all have to die sooner or later with something. The most important thing is knowing God. Then when your time comes to die He will give you  the Grace and peace you need.

We start dying as soon as we are born. I think death is a part of life and one has to accept it. I had a close call with death thrice in my life but still never have nightmares about it. I am not scared of death nor do I invite it. All I know is that I will accept it peacefully when it comes. If I do expect something in my life related to death it will just be a peaceful and painless death. Something like dying in a moment without suffering with the pain for long.

Yes funny question, however the serious side of this is the answer - society is making everyone have to sit up and protect their safety more than ever now.  The world is turning into a sad place.

we dont, we just die, accept it and move on, or be like the rest of man kind, have a huge ego and think we all live forever in heaven or get reincarnated.. THINK!

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.

Except for a few lunatics, every one with the capacity to think knows that they will die eventually. For the most part people don't want to die now.\n\nThere are a lot of fears associated with death, starting with the fear that something terrible will happen and it will be painful, or that there will be a slow decline and you'll spend 10 years in a nursing home not knowing who you are.\n\nSo, not too many people are jumping up to volunteer.

No - I do not believe that we are that important...\n\nEinstein believed that time was a bit like looking at an ariel view of a rail track..with at any given point there being track behind and track in front..\n\nI guess I see life in that way too.. there have been millions of people in history who lived before me and there will be millions after me.. I just happen to be at this point on the track at this moment but ultimately there is not a judgement day..\n\nI guess to that since unlike animals who are not aware of their mortality, we also have the need to give meaning to and solve the problem of dying.. (as inherently we all wish to survive) and so the thought of after life/meaning etc solves this for us.

Can't you wait for them to die? I still don't believe it is ok...C

some people are in so much pain, either physical or emotional, that they think that anything would be different...\n\nsometimes people are not so much thinking about ending suffering, rather escaping from themselves.\n\ni've seen plenty of death in my time and as far as i'm concerned they're not suffering.  this is especially noticable if the person was in a lot of pain beforehand.

No, you may as well just curl up and wait to die

God, no. Too many people don't realise how many OTHER people they affect. When people die of NATURAL causes, they leave huge voids in their loved ones' lives. Suicide is a terrible idea, especially if you're just depressed and not SICK physically.

DUDE.. If I wanted to know when I was going to die, I would go ahead and just kill myself and get it over with.  Knowing when you will die takes all the mystery and wonder out of life.  Not knowing is the greatest gift of all

Probably something to do with the fact we all live together on this planet but when you die you are then on your own

Life is so expensive, people are thinking about day to day survival, not what is going to happen after death. People do not want to think about, or discuss, or spend money on their death. I do not think it is selfishness at all. I think it is often lack of resources, and always human nature.
