My idea of death

[Constiello]

assuming there is nothing beyond death..

stay with me. See in front of you, right now.

You can view the tangible 3D objects, life. World

However towards your peripheral vision its like a blurr encircling your vision.

There is no solid black line, defining of where our sight begins and ends

Vision simply goes into nothingness. However, a different nothingness.

Where you cannot see with your eyes, there is no black void. There is no empty space you are able to see from behind your head making panorama with your sight

And so with that absolute nothingness you dont see but sense it exists beyond your sight, is what death will be like

You won't be conscious to, say, sense black or whatever the void of life is, but rather, you truly go into that empty part of this reality

sleeping without dreaming without waking up without even existing to know

best I can describe what I am aiming for.

The first few sentences pretty much sum up my views. Watch until 0:44 at least, that's the punchline to what 'death will be like', IMO.

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." - Mark Twain

 

[Zaehet Strife]

I think your idea is neat. So, if you say it will be like "sleeping without dreaming without waking up without even existing to know" doesn't that mean you think we will pretty much, cease to exist? That's just what I'm getting from it.

"I won't even know I'm dead, you wanna know why? BECAUSE I'LL BE FUCKING DEAD."

"I won't even know I'm dead, you wanna know why? BECAUSE I'LL BE FUCKING DEAD."

I love the part where he's fucking his gf's mom when his gf walks in and he says, "I'm mysterious, I've always been mysterious!"

I believe in life after death.

You cant rule out that we might exist again somewhere else in time and space too!

~PEACE~

We can't rule it out, but we have yet to see tangible evidence for a reason to believe in the afterlife.

There's plenty of reason to believe. It brings comfort. We don't want to cease to exist. In other words, we WANT to believe it.

Imo we're deep-wired to do so. cn

 

[Red1966]

It would seem so, we've always been like this, all the way back to caveman times. It may be the only real difference between us and animals.

 

[GOD HERE]

There's plenty of reason to believe. It brings comfort. We don't want to cease to exist. In other words, we WANT to believe it.

uh... why?

 

[Beefbisquit]

If comfort is your only reason for believing, than heroin junkies and drunks should have just as much of a right to be comfortable in a stupor.

Imo the prime difference between us and animals is a capacity for story, for abstract knowledge handed across generations. I consider it rather plausible that the more nearly sapient nonhuman animals experience the sort of awe that underpins all spirituality. cn

 

[Nutes and Nugs]

uh... why?

Why are you so despondent?

The scientific method, art, philosophy, electronics, space travel, medicine, and fully conscious thought/sentience I'd list as a few other differences. Oh! And toilet paper...

But then what do you make of this?

or this? cn

There is life on the other side.
Hard for some to understand but you must have faith in the religion of your choice.

 

[Beefbisquit]

There is life on the other side.

You believe there is life on the other side, but have no evidence so you rely on faith, the definition of which is belief without justification.

We have no evidence to support the idea that any part of us persists through death.

 

[GOD HERE]

Why are you so despondent?

How do you even interpret "uh.... why?" as despondent?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone's a little grumpy.
