How often do you think about death, how do you think you are going t o die, what kind of death ...?

...do you wish for if you have the choice and how old do you wish to die?



I ponder about this since I was kid; I grew up surrounded by death and people dying for different reasons at different ages. Many people think of death as a morbid thing, I grew up thinking it was my best ally, it made me look at the world as a ';transit bus'; where at some point, each one of us will reach our destiny and get off.

I see people racing their cars on the city streets 100 m/h, skateboarding down the hills into incoming traffic with not hamlet, I saw a guy with sharp pointy scissors trimming his beard while changing lanes on the highway?I call these people the IMMORTALS; I am convinced that they think they are. I檝e known many; I have accompanied them to the cemetery, I檝e seen at the cold morgue and funeral homes and on the streets surrounded by ambulances and fire trucks and curious people like me, and ';Death'; presenting them to me as an example of my own end.

Is it strange to think that way?How often do you think about death, how do you think you are going t o die, what kind of death ...?
1. Not very often.

2. Statistics say heart problems or a car accident

3. Something quick

4. Before I get to the age where I become an embarrassment to myself.



No, you're not strange. Everyone has personality quirks, yours just happens to be on that makes people go ';ew.';How often do you think about death, how do you think you are going t o die, what kind of death ...?
I mean, it's not that profound, really. Everyone knows they're going to die, so what's the point of thinking when, where and how. It just takes up valuable time away from you that you can't get back. Your thinking is quite morbid and I don't know if you're suffering from some sort of depression, but you may need to talk to someone because it is not normal for you to obsess about death like this.



Good luck.
