Topic: What does Death mean to you? - page 8. (Read 4396 times)

Probably this passage from the bible is an extremely distorted metaphor, but its concept is extremely valid, considering that certain mysteries may never be fully understood.
But, surely this, and other interpretations that we find in the bible, were based on some knowledge that was forgotten by mankind over time
I've spent a lot of time thinking about it, maybe the universe works in a such complex way, that can never be comprehended

Life Is For Death.

Death is certainty.

Nothing in our lives is certain, except death. Everyone will die someday.

I think death means it is time to give up .
Chance for another buddy to have a life.
Well if is true that death is the scariest part of someone s life but we accept it and move on.

Death is a scary thing. Possibly the most scary thing that can happen to someone life. Death can traumatize and change someone's life forever

Death is a transition from one form to another, but no longer alive and active. This transition frees the place for a new life.

the end of life. we come from nothing , we return to nothing. No afterlife, no previous lives.

nothing ,Death Is Just An Illusion We Continue To Live In A Parallel Universe

i believe death is just the failure of the body our soul possesses
after death we move on

In my opinion, there is next phase after the death at this phase. However, I don't like to waste my time just because I believe there is next phase, next opportunity for me. Death in me is being alone, being unloved, being poor. Death in me is also a opportunity to grow up everyday, to live without any regrets. Death is a timeline that reminds me to do everything I love, everything that I want to do. For me, death is not very disgusting like people said. Just YOLO. :-x

Somewhere, right now, a cigarette butt is floating down a stream of dirty water on the curb of a street.  It's running toward a drain, and it will fall down that drain and be dragged into the sewers and swept away.  Slowly, it will wash along until it is disintegrated by time and the soft current of water.

The person that smoked that cigarette never thought about it while they were smoking it, and they'll never think about it again. The cigarette had no name, no history, and no one noticed any of the microscopic details that made it different from the other cigarettes in the pack.

It's gone.  It's dead.  In fact, it was never really here. 

Right now, you're at work, or at home, or waiting in a car for your girlfriend or husband to come out of the house.  You're reading this.  Maybe you'll think about it.  Maybe you'll respond to it.  Maybe you'll think about me, and why I wrote this.

Three generations from now, there will probably be few people who remember you, few people that think of you or miss you.  You will have floated away like that cigarette, disintegrated by time and the soft current of memory.

But unlike that cigarette, you were here.  You lived.  You had a name.  You had a history.  People knew the constellation of tiny details that made you you.  You were more than paper and a filter and ash.  You were an endless ocean of thoughts and possibilities and stories and potential. 

Our death isn't disintegration.  It's dispersion.  Dispersion of the last and best of our possibility so that someone new can live as we lived.

Death means we can't live forever.  And that's what makes life so unbelievably precious and beautiful.

Death is a natural event "as a living thing that is for sure going to die", but death would not be predicted by anyone in the world and all living things will not be able to avoid death. and there are things that should be known that right after the death was still there a second life is eternal life in the hereafter.

"Death" is an inevitable thing. No one can't predict and escape death. Also, no one knows what will happen after we lose our conscious. But I do believe that there is life after death. For me death is just a pause but I know that there is continuation after death. Thank you.

i really like this mindset, i think you are right about it being two sides of the same coin. everything that lives dies. that is absolute every spark vanishes, every light dims. it is very ying yang, all good is accompanied by evil, all life is accompanied by death.

i am not a fan of this idea, not that i dont respect the thought. rather that i think pinning things on god as an explanation is a lazy one. if god created us for free will why would he want us to not have the knowledge of good and evil, if god wanted our happiness and salvation why make us so we die. it very may be true that it is simply gods secret, but it goes against human nature to not be curious and try to learn. why the sun rose in the east use to be gods secret but we attained the knowledge. so to we will eventually learn the secrets of life and death. its only a matter of time.

death is God's secret there will be no human that know, we as human only ask protection from god.

Death is the end of the process. When the soul has already exhausted all possibilities in its physical shell, it leaves this world. And where the soul goes further, I just can not say. This issue has been poorly studied.

what death mean to me is...when you don't any have any enthusiasm and zeal to move forward in life this is the stage in life when you are officially declared dead....because you stop advancing in life and hence cease your growth

Life and Death are like two sides of the same coin, whenever you think about one you also have to think about the other.

As Life is synonymous to birth i.e beginning of something new, i like to think that death also is the beginning of something new. It is just like an interchange point, a point of transformation from one mode of life to another, a life that we are not educated enough to understand at the moment.

Death is a natural process like birth. For me death means the cessation of the life of a certain being.

what is mans spirit tho? in order for an afterlife to be true mans spirit cannot be attached to the body but rather simply residing in it. because when the body dies the spirit must live on. and if that is true then would a lobotomy cut off the spirit, can man live without his spirit? and as far as the mind there is a procedure to help prevent epilepsy where a neuro surgeon cuts the pathways connecting the left and right hemisphere of the brain. this causes a phenomnon known as split-brain. i highly recommend you look into that it is very interesting, it essentially proves that there is not one but two aspects to our brain. which one houses our soul? there was an instance where someone with split brain with their right hand was mad and tried chocking his wife, while the other half fought off the right hand to protect the wife. as if there were two separate beings living within the same head
