Can't stop thinking about death..

All I've been thinking about latley is what happens when we die. Like what really happens. Not some religous bull****....what happens to the mind. Someone said here in that thread about this that it'll probably feel like before being born. When we had no memories, I mean can anyone think about that, remember anything about that time? If you do then you are lying.

I've been thinking about that and space and the univerce...differen't dimensions, time, matter, life, the mind...and then this place I've been thinking about, the void. You remember that scene where morphias was showing neo that place they go to upload weapons and equipment. It was all white, literally nothing but a couple chairs and an old tv? That's what I think of but except nothing, literally nothing but that and your self. Naked, clothed what ever I think more about the place. A place where there is no shadows. Can you imagine a place where is no shadow ?

It's like all that weird **** has been eating at my brain. I can't think about xbox, or that chick's boob, at least not for long. Everything seems unimportant to me. I mean how can I think about that stuff when there are more important subjects like these to talk about.

So I think about killing myself. So I can find out sooner what really happens after death. Would I go to this void, or perhaps my mind would spread across the universe becoming this sort of cesstial being. Or maybe I am a ghost like in yuyu hakasho. Or maybe I do meet a god who does judges how I lived my life. Or I become obnipotent. Or my mind stays trapped in my rotting, decaying body.

I feel like everything I do right now is nothing, nothing I do now carries on to "the other side". What do I care if it does carry on to living people? Is that the point of living, giving somthing to the living people? Maybe producing a child that one day discovers the cure for aids or cancer? But what does that do for you? And if you don't make that kid what happens then? If nothing carries on in death, then what does it matter what happens when you are alive.

People say to enjoy the time you have, but why enjoy it at all? Why not just end it faster ? Because what happens after happens longer right? I just don't see a point to living any more? Why should I even live anymore? What am I gaining from this life? Experiences? What like ****ing some chick, trying pot, going to college? Becoming successful? What is all of this for? Are we just in some circle of trying to survive so that we can reproduce another generation that will survive to reproduce another.

sorry if a lot of this is gibberish, but it's just been on my mind a lot latley.
 
What if nothing happens? Then ending your life sooner would be like fast forwarding to the end of a movie only to stare at the wall for an eternity.

What we have now is the only thing certain. In life, every day has the potential to be an adventure.

:) I like how you've put this *adds to rep*

You live because it makes you happy :)
You do things you like because they make you happy.
And I think when we die, we die. No more consciousness. Like when you fall asleep.
Hope this helps. There's no need to worry about it.

And you've prty much laid out the thoughts that circulate my mind every day. In the end all I know is that we exist now in this world and it has an effect that we experience at first hand and see. So why, even if it doesn't matter, and doesn't make a difference, why not just do something? You'll die eventually, why rush it and not experiment with what you have now?
I find it really hard being around people lately because all that goes through my mind is that I'm just another person. As in, I see somebody and they are just somebody, and they see me the same way, each person isolated in their minds, viewing the world from a single point. I am no different they are no different. None of it really matters. Nothing done matters. Right and wrong are just moulded beliefs. In the end we are all just living because we all just want something.

I don't know dude. Honestly, thinking about this stuff makes me feel happy. It's a happy distraction for me opposed to thinking about anxiety. What happens after we die? Thinking about God. Thinking about purpose and how everything interconnects. There's no worry when I ponder these things--just awe.

S'yeah. Not at all helpful. But...hope you feel better soon. Maybe you just need your own special brand of healthy distraction away from these thoughts, whatever that may be.

I agree with that. It might be depressing, but being pretty much atheist, I think when you die, nothing happen. I mean you just die. Like when a tree dies. it decomposes and go back to the ground. If there was a consciousness, it is gone. Like, I think, what will happen to us: we will rot, decompose, go back to the ground, and what was our mind will dissipate. So don't kill yourself, you won't even be there anymore to see what happens.

For what is left for us to do here, there is lots to be said, but I will just agree with Firewalk: everyday can be an adventure. If nothing matters anyway, you can stop worrying and just go out have some fun.

One thing that I think matters however, unfortunately: Sharing yourself with other living beings. It doesn't have to be lots of people. It can be one very special one. But I think it matters.

(I add that since I never died, I could be totally wrong)

In the 200,000 years humans have been on earth there hasn't been one single undeniable piece of evidence of any afterlife, so I think it's safe to say when it’s over, it's over and that’s it.
To kill yourself just to see what comes next would have to be the stupidest thing anyone could possibly do… makes no sense at all…
One undeniable fact is that everybody does die, so enjoy life as much as you can while you are here because it will be over way too soon…

Frank hello,

Yes i think every day about death also,about this how i live and i will feel like if i dream coz in dreams im happy this u wrote beuatiful. I actually think we just die and is over. No some other dimensions,not god, just pure N O T H I N G. I do see spend time here either pointless if my body and brain control anxiety and not myself. I know killing self is really the most stupid what we can do,but we anyway feel stupid that way what we are now.

I have a whole belief system built around what I believe happens, I won't go into it very much here because some might consider it religious. I consider it more spiritual.

Coming from a science viewpoint:
We are energy, and energy can never be destroyed, it can only be transformed. So bearing this in mind, then part of us will always exist. Whether conciousness remains, science has not yet explained, but it is only a matter of time before that happens. Science is still very young and there is a lot that scientists cannot explain. I am looking forward to the day when a lot of spiritual stuff can be explained by science because then some of the religions will have to have a close look at the principles that are being taught and finally realise that their religion cannot explain everything.
