I can't believe I am going to die one day...

Sounds strange, but I just can't come to terms with it. I feel like it shouldn't happen, like I am special and shouldn't die. Anyone else ever feel that way?

Are you seriously suggesting that you want to pay taxes for all of eternity?

You may find Matthew 25:31,32 to be of interest to you.
Please notice those righteous people are alive on the earth at the time Jesus intervenes into mankind's affairs to usher in Peace on Earth toward men of goodwill. They will remain alive (See Proverbs 2:21,22) or stay alive right into Jesus peaceful 1000-year reign over earth with the prospect of everlasting life in front of them.
Life in a paradisaic earth where the deserts will blossom as the Rose. Isa 35,
and life with no more tears, pain or death from inherited imperfection from Adam, (Rev 21:4), but gaining the human perfection of mind and body that Adam originally had at creation.

Don't worry itwillend, lots of people die. Not me though. Never. But lots of people do and you will be missed.

I've decided I am not going to die. I mean what happens if you just refuse it? Surely one can just refuse to die can't they? Unless they simply get squashed by a falling piano or something. Barring some unforeseen event that kills me, can't I just decide to live forever?

Im sure plenty of people thought that if they merely said "no" that they would somehow be spared but ultimately we all die, aka fall from the material plane. Its one of those inevitable things that happen, but I have come to terms with such an end, there is no point fearing something you cannot change.

Isn't eternal life supposedly a curse?

The only thing I hope not to happen is to die unexpectedly while I have pets that rely on me and some debt that I have yet to clear up. I really don't want to die with those unresolved circumstances. After I get a few things in order though in life within a couple of years, then I don't think I'll care. I look forward to sitting down with my wife one evening at an age when we no longer feel physically up to continuing, putting on a good bob dylan record, sharing some nice wine, and chasing it with a cup of hemlock.

I welcome death with open arms
Her soft breath and simple charm
Wandering through memories
Takes my hand for me to see

Tried so hard
Tried so hard

Echoes of Innocence
Are my thoughts into dissent

Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard

When we finally reach the end
She lets go off my hand
Walking into realms of light
There will be no death tonight

Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard

Heb.9v27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die.......

ALL men/women will die except for perhaps one or two who are alive at the time of the first resurrection 1Thes.4v17 at Chrit's second coming. However, they too will have had to put to death their own vile human nature though perhaps not die in the literal sense. Not all shall sleep (be physically dead) scripture says that a very few will be alive and changed in the twinkling of an eye.1Cor.15v51,52.

No it is disturbing to me that we rationalize our way out of eternity. I think if a person wants it bad enough, they might get it.

As much as Atheist say they love life, I don't think they really do. They rationalize it by saying they are realists, and death is just part of life. To me that is a watered down love of life.

To me, life is the one thing that is not dualistic. It can't be. It is too precious. It seems beyond ebb and flow, yin and yan, cyclic behavior, finality, dual role.

Seems to me many want evidence that life is as special as I make it out to be, but I suppose it is only as special as one makes it out to be.

There is no poetry in human death, there is no irony in finite life, there is no beauty in cyclic resolution. There is only human defeat, and settling, like a slave whipped into complacency.

I just can't do it.

hmmm thats a very insightful way of looking at it man.....

If you cannot accept that it ends the dont accept it, A human being cannot accept something he does not believe no matter the evidence or logic used, this can be contributed to every aspect of life. (not saying you are just deluding yourself just that there is no point you believing it just because someone tells you its rational, if you accept soemthing without believing it, you are lying to yourself)

So dont accept it, say that you live forever, in some way or another.

Death is here
Death is there
Death is busy everywhere

--Percy Shelley

I knew that someday I was gonna die
And I knew before I died
Two things would happen to me
That number one: I would regret my entire life
And number two: I would want to live my life over again

:help:

Do not listen to a word I say
just listen to what I can keep silent
the only way to gain approval
is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
why do anything when you can forget everything
I stare at the sky
and it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
and this is yesterday
I stare at the sky
