Does Death Ever Trip You Out?

[DaRealness]

For myself, not at all. I'd be way more concerned for those I leave behind. When it's time for me to transition over, well.....

I've lost a parent and other loved ones in death like most people have at some point, but I deal with it a lot better now than I used too.

I just make the most of this short human experience so that I don't sit on my deathbed with a whole bunch of shoulda, coulda, wouldas plaguing my mind.

Yeah, death can you trip you out cause you just never know.

I will say one of my main fears of death would be dying in front of my children.
I don't have kids yet but I say this because it happened with my grandfather. Back in '89 when I was 4 I lost three of my four grandparents (both of mom's parents as well as dad's mother). My grandfather was only like 55 or so (mom's parents had their three daughters in their teens). Towards the end of that year, his mother passed whom he was really close to. All of the family got together and went down to D.C. to be with him. A couple of days after getting there, his stepdad passes. They decide to do a joint funeral and on the way to the service, my grandfather suffers a fatal heart attack in front of his daughters. Thinking about that scares me. I'd never want the pain to be that unbearable man.

I can assure you...the fact you are living now makes it a guarantee you will live again. Or to be more precise, experience the sensation of living.

I'm going to have to digest this over the next few days. It already has me observing my life from an outside perspective.

Got that one when I was 17. Hardest shyt ever.

Sounds just like me breh. My dad died when I was 17 in 07. And I still ain't over that shyt

I've been to more funerals than weddings. Life seems more foreign to me than death.

But I've never seen someone die. How unspectacular it is. How they fade out or move on. Leave the party. I've never been haunted by a loss of life, no one close to me has died thankfully. Knock on wood.

Death is more personal to me I guess. An exploration. I'm not thinking of dying or losing life but experiencing the other side. But not now. Life is too grand.

No, because it's inevitable.

Leaving behind the legacy I want is what keeps me up at night.

I'm scared that I won't live a life worth living before it's over than I am of death.

I ain't really scared to die. I've faced death 3 times. I just feel bad for my mourning family members

 

[Crakface]

Only when its prolonged and painful.

When we die. It's just like Dragonball Z. We go and train with king kai, and shyt after we ran over the snake way. Come back to earth fight nappa and vegeta. Go to namek beat frieza and become a supersaying.
I'm cool with death.

I started thinking about it again after I heard about Paul Walker's death. It is a scary thought....I'm scared to leave before my loved ones, too.

Theyre both just gone....forever. shyt

u got family, friends and all kinds of human life around u and fukking PAUL WALKER made u think about it lol

I don't fear death as much as I embrace and philosophically observe it.


Life is a vast neighborhood , where literally anyone's door can get knocked on at any moment, through either completely random, or predetermined events. You have no control, over death...only chance, probability, coincidence...The thought alone about how fragile and uncontrollable your mortality is, is something truly fascinating if you take the time to think about it...Sometimes I'll be driving, and pass a car or tractor trailer thats moving fast in the the opposite lane of traffic next to me, and the brief, seemingly-unconscious feeling of "damn...life could be over THAT quick, through no doing of my own..." washes over me for a moment, and the Lloyd Banks line, "Nobody dead knew they would die before they woke..." hits me. It starts out as a small fear, then the more I ponder and unravel the KNOWN FACTS about the aftermath of death, there's an eerie sense of calm and detatched acceptance I gain, as well as perspective.


When you start to observe the fragility and order in nature that death exposes, (animals eating animals, plants wilting, the reckless abandon which insects are killed without thought), you apply that to human life and start to see the parralells. We live thoughtful, personally meaningful lives, where everything in OUR world makes us the starring actor among a backdrop of changing scenery and suporting cast members...whom we develop diffeerent levels of bonding and experiences with. Ultimately, "our" universe is EVERYTHING TO US. It's all we know. But to The Universe...to the grand scale of time, space, and existence, our entire life is almost nothing. To The Universe, we are but bugs soon to fall victim to the laws of nature just as the insects we so thoughtlessly get rid of.


When you remove emotion and pessimism from thoughts like those, all that is left is peace.


Until then, I'll enjoy the ride.

I don't think about death..I'm just pissed off that I can't acquire as much knowledge as I can before I die..it's like fukk..I'm trying to learn about everything while i can and travel as many places in the world..but I'll be dead in like 40-50 years ..that's what really grinds my gears..
