Death, (split from former topic)

What does that mean?

I was wondering myself. Do you mean it is like a comp, or it is "campy"?

death is camp

To my opinion we are part of the universe - who can define its beginning and end???
Nature is a cycle. Nothing is lost but does still exist in another form. A leaf which is fallen down and rotted changes into ground...we human beings follow the same rules. Death is the end of our present form of existence and at the same time the beginning of a new one. No reason to be afraid. Death is as natural as birth - a cycle again.
So I do not feel any fear of death.

Well said, Annabelle. Death is just the beginning! I know my mom is playing golf on the best golf courses of her choosing! Hopefully my Uncle Ben is being beaten over the head by my Aunt Weege! I believe this is time on earth is hell and our chance to learn yet another lesson. We get to keep learning until we can get it right and then we get our reward!

Swanny, May I use this in my classroom for a quote for my students?

From my point of view, life is eternal, so birth and death are part of an endless cycle. Death is not to be feared. What is important is how we live THIS life. We can't do anything about past or future lives NOW, so we need to make the best possible causes in this one. Too many people refuse to LIVE this life. We need to go fishing more.

Yes, fishing! Now THAT is really living!!

somehow got logged off............. Yes, fishing! Now THAT is really living!!

Death will be a welcome relief from the confines of my body into an afterlife with no more pain, suffering, or diabetes. I embrace death. (it's the dieing part that has me concerned)

You know it really bothers me to continuously read about DEATH and how people say they wish it would come sooner than later. It will be here soon enough for all of us, why not live the life you have to the fullest and enjoy what you have?

because some people might have been born into circumstances or come into circumstances they are not happy with and they can't find a way out maybe.

There are many reasons for that I think.
Life and Death belong together and I personally think that I will just flicker out, like an extinguished candle, but I will live on ín the thoughts of those who loved me.
I'm sort of curious though how it's going to be...

I have been thinking about this statement I made, and I have come to a conclusion. I do not fear death or the afterlife, however I fear pain. So, death - ok. pain - not ok.

that's what I'm talking about RW it's the dieing and the pain that goes along with it that bothers me. Being diabetic I could end up on dialasis, have various parts amputated etc.... I would rather go quickly and live life fully up to the very end of this existence.

Peace

I don't fear death but I fear dying the way my mom did......slowly over 4 years I've heard death stories from folks and they say it is wonderful!! I know there has to be more than this!
