Death

[CatWoman]

Yes, I'm extremely scared of death. And not really my own, but the people I love. I always said I want to be the first one to die. Just the thought of having to put people I love under the ground so deep makes me burst into tears. I work in Studio City and I drive by Forest Lawn every other day... Most of the time I get teary eyed.

I'm also scared of getting old. Terrified to be exact.

Here's my favorite saying... In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years!

Yes, because when you die, people ask about you, "Has he/she lived well?" and "what kind of person was he/she?" Those are the kinds of things that you leave behind and the things that people know you by. There was some saying that went along the lines of, "People know you only after you die."

After my grandmother passed away, I was very saddened and angry, but my perspective on life did not change; she lived a long full life.

However, when a close friend of mine (same age) died in a car accident, it opened up my eyes to how easily you can lose anyone at any given moment. It was a very painful experience.

well, do you think you can send the tracks to me through msn?

I don't have internet at home or Instant Messaging.

I agree death is the great equalizer because it doesn't discriminate against the poor or rich or your racial or ethnic background.

Of course.Because Anonymouse and a kid from Rwanda for example, have the same standards of living,the same education,the same opportunities and they will both probably die at the same age.

That was truly pointless.

That was transforimg your ridiculous theory into crap.

Ridiculous is what you'd have with God's miracle. Right now, you don't even have that.

Getting older is just as scary if not scarier than death. Aging really shines the light on our inadequacies, lost promises and potential, all those hindsight issues that none of us can really resolve at 12am when we get the chance to quietly ponder all of our wasted time, meaningless actions and embarrassing moments. So the older you get, unless you make a very deliberate change, the more crap, like I previously mentioned, gets piled up to the ceiling. Losing my mind at that point probably wouldn't be that bad.

Maybe there is something after all this maybe not ... we're all alive so none of us are experts on the afterlife.

All of my grandparents have passed away. Two from lung cancer which is a really crappy way to die. My grandfather had a living will so we took care of him while he was passing. Crazy stuff but I'll always be glad I was able to be there for him. My grandmother as well ... I was the last person she spoke to which I'll always feel is special ... not trying to sound all campy! lol

I'm really more afraid of the process than the end result...

As my grandfather would say "Ain't none of us gettin' outta this one alive!" ...

Say "Word" ...

Re: Death

I am afraid of never seeing my loved ones again, the mourning they would be in. I am also afraid of dying in a horrible state, and what will happen to me when I die (I am a christian).
