River Lizard replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"We have lost 6 family members (dogs, cats and lizards) and all of them were cremated. I miss them all but I remember all the great times we had together. We currently have a dog that's at the age of 18 years old, time is running out…"
Blondin replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"I agree.
I have softened my stance on this subject. I used to say that I really didn't want any kind of funeral or service - that if they really wanted to respect my wishes they would do as little as possible in that regard. However, about five…"
Jason Ward replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"How would giving them the benefit of your knowledge put pressure on them? So....no."
Akshay Bist replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"Pfft! You aren't gonna let that go are you? That quote applies very well in that situation. It doesn't matter if it was originally used in some other discussion. Thats the beauty of quotes. They can be used again & again, in different…"

Akshay Bist replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"The subject might have been different, but the quote applies here.
Currently, the only way to achieve immortality of any kind would be to do something huge. Doesn't matter if it was good or bad. People will always remember both Hitler &…"
Artor replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"My greatest fear of death arises from the time I've wasted and the regrets for opportunities missed. Best to live your life as fully as possible, and when your time comes, look back and say to yourself, "Well done...""
Artor replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"Meh, I don't put much stock in life extension solving the world's problems. After all, we're overpopulated as it is. How will things get better if people stop dying? And even if immortality becomes available, most of us will never…"
Artor replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"It's a matter of focusing on life, not death. Find your meaning right here & now in how you choose to live your life; what kind of legacy you'll leave for your children & friends. Do what you can to make the world, or at least your…"
River Lizard replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"Blondin,
I couldn't agree more. Thanks for sharing your views, which I can relate to 100%.

Bernard replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"I personally don't fear death for the reasons you outline above - I find the idea of eternal life truly terrifying though. Even living in heaven and bathing in bliss and godly love would become intolerable after a few million years. There would…"
Akshay Bist replied to Ronbun Kontan's discussion 'The fear of death'"Sam Harris said in a debate(I'm paraphrasing here)
If you don't want to be ridiculed, then it would be wise not to say/post ridiculous statements."
