Hi Everyone!

Every so often I find myself thinking about death. I don't mean suicide or anything like that. Just the inevitable fact that one day I'm going to die. Also I find myself working out (as a percentage!) how much of my life I've lived already if I manage to live to a good age!

Now, as Robbie Williams sang "I'm not scared of dying, I just don't want to!" and I think that's very true. I know I can't change this fact, so I'm pretty resigned to it.

I was just wondering if anyone else ever has the same thoughts... I doubt I'm on my own in this! :p

Sorry if this is all a bit morbid for a Monday morning! Lol!

Cripes mate you got out the wrong side of bed lol, I can't say I've ever worked out the percentage but yes I've thought about death but more along the lines of oh crap who would take care of millie !

Ha ha, cheers CBW! I'm not depressed about it or anything... it just seems to come and go every now and again!

It's strange that I don't worry about accidental death, or some illness... just death by old age!

I find myself looking at really old people and wondering what their lives have been like.

This does sound so depressing! Lol! I'm sorry!

No I know what you mean but you seriously ought to ask some of these old folk I used to love hearing about there lives when I ran the pub they are fascinating to the extreme they delt with some crazy stuff but they sure do love to chat over a pint or two lol.
I had one old girl who was 96 she used to come in every lunch time have at least 6 gold labels then maybe a baileys and she smoked woodbines she was amazing she wore a wig and had a boyfriend 20 years younger than her lol.

I have the same problem. Ever single minute I think of death, I sometimes I imagine if my mum, dad or brother dies, and also thinks of dyign when I have something disturbing me. I even ask myself what kind of death is best.
What migth be the problem

I think it's a very human thing to be aware of the fact that one day we will die (animals might realise when they are ill, but not when they are perfectly healthy).

Don't worry about it, it's natural for you to contemplate your own mortality.

wanjiru, do you spend much time on your own? You do seem to be concentrating on it too much. Surround yourself with friends and enjoy the good times. You can't know when you're going to die so there's no point contemplating it! Go out and do something!

You shouldn't be scared of dying as its just like you leaving your shell but your spirit is still their but you move into another dimension of living. You should read some books about near-death experiences if it ll make you feel better as you know your going to die I went through a period like that in my life and books like that really helped me especially when my brother died and I didn't eat for 1 month!
