You all came to a gaming message board to talk about heavy stuff right?

The concept of mortality and immortality both scares me. The thought of no longer existing is something my mind rejects, yet the thought of me existing for eternity is also terrifying. That's not even truly considering Heaven or Hell. Just... always being around, what would I even do? Would I remember anything of my life in this realm? Would I get bored? Would I have a way to "reset" to prevent that?

The fear is that death is when you finally wake up

Is that a fear, or is it a relief that your entire life has been nothing more than a bad nightmare and you can finally get a fresh start on something?

I hope theres an afterlife

I'm able to accept that there might not be one (I kinda have no choice when I fucking die)

but ceasing to exist just ....is a really shitty thought.

Its a damn waste

I don't want to stop thinking and feeling entirely forever. Everything I felt and learned just vanishing

But think about all the things that happened prior to your birth. You weren't miserable then. It was a nice neutral time. You are only really defined by the things you acquire in your life, memories included. It's like if your house burns down, you lose a lot of things. When you die, you lose the most things, but you still exist as dust and will forever be stardust.

I wasn't alive, I didn't know of the knowledge of feeling things

now that I do, having it taken away would really suck. I wouldn't want it to go away


Yea, I know, things existed before me and things will exist after me

The universe will be okay

just call me selfish

It has varied depending on my phase of life.

I used to be scared as shit. Felt like death was passing through a door into a black room that could contain literally anything, and I was not okay with that

Somehow currently I'm convinced it'll be painless at least. I don't love the idea of ending but I guess I've progressed to acceptance for some reason. Improved mental health maybe

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

The idea of my existence ending bothers me to a pretty decent extent, though I recognize I wouldn't be around to worry about it. >_>

Wouldn't say I'm scared of death, but I'd certainly rather become immortal through cybernetics or something. Here's hoping!

I favor Shakespeare's rendition of agnosticism: "The undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns."

The only ones who know what's beyond are dead, and they can't come back to tell us about it.

So I just take life one day at a time.

This.

Additionally, I'd prefer slow death from like old age than a sudden one, just so I can tie up loose ends. >_<

And in case afterlife is real I do wonder who will be there. Abrahamic religions are really popular right now, but it doesn't mean Nordic, Mayan, or other religious afterlives are less likely.
