Kind of Death you Want?

This is weirder than the USB thread.

Lol. I guess just going to sleep and never waking up.

Death by chocolate.

Sudden and instant, no dreams, signs or hints whatsoever that it was about to happen, and I want no one besides me hurt when it happens. There was another thread asking about funeral music choice, so I won't bring that up again. The Off Topic forum has become a great venue for death preparation.

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I do know if I get the news that I am about to die, there are a few that best start looking over their shoulder
Just a joke.... err...umm...

Since we are on the death subject, I guess the bigger question would be, are you scared to die?

I have no fear of it as I have lived a fairly good life. Not that I am ready to go, but there is no fear of it. My fear would be pain. And speaking of pain, Damn, how I hate pain! I especially hate this cold...brrrrr....it is nothing but pain from the day it begins until the day it ends
Wake me when it's summer, would ya?

I would love an instant death. I love to die.
Would love to die right now.

I want to die in the arms of a lover..
kidding..

If it's possible, I want to die doing what I fear so much..
Like jumping off a plane or off a hundred story building..

What's up with so many death threads recently? Do you fear the 2012 end of world crap or something?

It is pretty morbid in here lately. What up, peeps? Must be that eugenics thread getting to people. I'm going Egyptian on this one...........We do not die, we become..........

As in contrast to all those who wish to die a slow and painful death?

There is no death, only transition

I like the earlier comment, I want to die doing what I like doing. I enjoy dirt biking, so might as well go out with a bang. I rather do it when I am 80 years old anyway.

By gettin chokeslammed by Undertaker from above Hell in the Cell, live at Wrestlemania 40 or somethin'

As long as I'm surrounded by my loved ones, and was remembered as a good person, that's all I want. Now I'm in a sappy mood, thanks a lot.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Not one of these! :p

I want to die While reading a Great Post like this one.Comments full of fun.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, at the age of 105 I hope I can live that long lol

I want to die with my children fighting over my US$5billion estate ...

I want to get shot in the heart!

I want to go down in flames, just like Jesse James haha

While having a 3 some with megan fox and mila kunIs :-) yupp that sounds like a good death

If i can choose a way to die, I will die because of old age, disease in the most painless way :|

I'd like to slip and fall off of the Empire State building and land on my daughter's boyfriend.

Almost all we wanted a painless death but we need to remember that the birth and death are two narrow holes of a wide tube called the world. Entering into this world is painful as well the departure too.. We may think the people who died in their sleep didn't feel any pain. But it may not be like that and they are not there to tell their experience of dying. Clinically death is a serial switching off our organs one by one and lastly the brain. Until and unless the brain is dead, the feeling of pain is inevitable.

I hope it's during sex......i'd be dead happy with that!

LOL..maybe he could cushion your impact?

I'd like to die at the ripe old age of 120.

or

That's a beautiful ending of a tragic life.

Bullet through the forehead. That or peacefully in my sleep.

The fact that you are going to die must prompt you to wonder what happens after it. It's why I became a believer 17 years ago and got baptized.

As a believer, if I'm wrong then I've lost nothing. I'll die and be in the same boat as everyone else.

If, however, I'm right, then a lot of people are going to be up a certain creek without a paddle.

Hello,

There is much to be said on this subject althouugh it is generally not mentioned.

The Buddha - founder of Buddhism - said that of all the meditation practices that he was familiar with Mindfulness on death was the most powerful.

I also heard a Hindu monk give a lecture in which he adivised us to contemplate impermanence and remind ourselves 3 times every day that today might be the last day of our lives. But at the same time it is necessary that you do not think of death obsessively as it can leave you in a state of abject terror.

The French philosopher Montaigne said - " To practice death is to practice freedom. He who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave."

Being prepared to die gives you a lot of power. It is up to you whether you wish to use that power for good or for mischief.

Just think of the muslim terrorists taking on the organized might of the worlds only superpower simply by being prepared to suffer and being prepared to die. And they have given the USA a run for their money.

Those who wish to learn more can send me a PM if they wish or they can read Montaigne's Essay on Death (it should be available online) and also read The Tibetan Book on Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche.

Best wishes
