How did you react when you found out you can't live forever?

If you live forever it would get tiring. Hey, like I said I believe in the afterlife, but living on earth with it getting worse FOREVER

damn I can't remember what sparked the thought...but Im always thinking bout death being around the corner. Ive had a few close calls on some real final destination type shyt. Dodging car accidents, changing my mind about being somewhere and then hearing bout somebody getting killed in the same house i had plans on being in. People don't value life like they should; myself included. This could be our last night, week, month, or year alive and we dont even appreciate the fact that we made it to see another day

but i had to be round 16 or 17 when it first hit me like what will i be remembered for when im gone, who gone take care of my bro, will my family stay strong and keep my memory alive? :mjcry:

This makes me wonder if it's better to be aware of your mortality at a young age or when you're older. The shyt hit me in my early 20's and I was legit shook for years after that. I can't imagine going through my teens, doing all the insane shyt I did, with that big of knowledge.

I was going through life like God was my body vest. :snoop:
I couldn't say, but as far as my children goes, I have to find a partner who isn't interested in indoctrinating our kids.

I don't want to have a child who will eschew critical thinking about subjects and credit it to God. Just do what humans should

do and admit we don't know. Coping mechanisms lead to delusions. I wouldn't rush to let my kid know about it, but if a pet or

relative dies and my child is old enough to ask, I have no reason to make up stories. I don't want them to have that "crisis of faith"

like I did. Couldn't sleep, couldn't focus, was worried about death for the longest. Been lied to enough that I didn't know if

I should have been afraid of death or not, and it made me afraid of living. That isn't fair to do to a kid.

I remember the day I realized that everyone has to do including me. I was about 7, I was playin in the living room when it just hit me out of nowhere, I dropped my toys and ran to my mom's and said "I don't wanna die".

I used to worry about it alot when I was younger but now I realize that living forever isn't really a good thing, I'm focused on makin the most out of the time I do have
