Stop scaring people from death

[MeltingHeart]

Yes, but not all priests are child molesters. I was just saying that religion doesn't condemn suicide like it used to

no i know their not!-but just making a point-i dont think they have a right to comment-all things considered!

The death experience is the most mystical experience for a human. Some books about NDE describe all kinds of wonderful experiences in the last moments. I dont believe in that, but then i dont know. I had a minor accident fly off a motorbike on the Autobahn ( freeway).
Everything slowed down a lot, like slow motion. It took very, very long to hit the ground and even longer until I was not moving anymore on the lane but sitting (No speedlimit on the Autobahn)
It was quite a nice interesting experience,the mind became totally quiet. Kind of blissful moments, while moving no fear at all. But when I sit there on the lane, I start to think that it might be dangerous and moved fast to the side.
Long time ago. No injuries about 55 mph speed. Slow bike,I was 16.

However, Catholic priests have told me that someone with PTSD or another disorder can't be accountable for suicide because they aren't in their right mind in the first place.

Think for a minute how offensive and infantilizing this is. There are so many people who have PTSD or other mental diagnosis, and they say they are like children who don't know their own mind or deserve free will. Though I suppose it is kind of them not to condemn them to hell.

This is a view many mental health professionals have, as well.

I don't fear death itself. I fear the pain or risk of method failure. I fear the long life filled with pain if I didn't ctb.

That being said, I feel bad for some stuff I wanted to do in life and by death it will be impossible to do, but its not fear.

You're right. I'm just quoting what I was told. Our society tends to use mental illness labels as an excuse to discredit people

This 100%
I don't fear death, I fear paralyze all four of my limps if I somehow survive a 2,000 feet plunge.
If I'm going 200km/hr plunge straight down 2,000 feet below. I damn hope it end in death, because I can't picture what kind of pain I be in if I still be alive. Not to mention a lifetime paralyze.

Welp I guess I have to take my risk then, because I rather take that risk than have to live for the rest of my life in pain and grief over my son death.

If there is recarnation or whatever after death, I rather just be an ant in my next life, be a human is hard, living is hard.

We all die and whether it happens now or 50 years from now, it will happen.

The entire universe's history may as well have taken place in the blink of an eye as far as my consciousness is concerned. 50 years will be over quicker than you could snap your fingers. So the distinction between dying today and dying 50 years from now is meaningless.

Someone on reddit told me the probability of me dying from jumping off my 13th stort balcony was extremely low as a way to discourage me but- the probability is more likely 90%^. Nothing to break the fall and solid concrete down bellow. Pro-lifers stupid as shit

 

[dmsdnd18]

Yes i agree with what you say there.
Every night when you sleep you go away , at least i do. So in a way you die every night don't you , when in a deep sleep? The bad part for me is waking up
and i have all these horrible problems to deal with.

Nabokov and Mark Twain also say something similar and I agree with them.

Nabokov:
"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour)"

Mark Twain :""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."

That mark twain quote is one of my favorites.

Ive always had the thought that i wont know what im missing bc i'll be dead. I think the ones that suffer from death are the ones left behind

The only meaning is the present. If you can't enjoy yourself in the present, what's the point?

I've thought this too. This is the only place i've seen someone else say it. It's almost 2020. How fast does time fly does anybody notice?

 

[I’vehadenough]

Time doesn't fly by when you don't want to live anymore. It's slow as shit

 

[reapandsow918]

What's scarier is living a life where you are tortured everyday and time will only make it worse. If you still have pleasure in life, don't kill yourself. I don't, so I welcome death

If you don't have any pleasure in life or are in a state of constant suffering, death is a perfect solution (I agree). The suffering someone experiences everyday is worse than death itself. Death is relief of your worries, it's peace and comfort.

Bunking this thread, I agree - people here are Overanaltzing

There is no point to being scared of death, after all it is our only true purpose. It is inevitable. Everything we do is just to pass the time until we finally die. The thing that scares me instead is this life as there is no limit as to how much we can suffer. Death is the end to all suffering.
