I think about it everyday. Not that I might die someday, but that, inevitably, I WILL die someday.

I envy the dead. They have gotten over a hurdle I constantly think about and dread.

How do you cope with your mortality /pol/?

I'll never die. I'll live forever. It's my destiny. I am perpetual. I'm a core element of reality. Of existence. Without me to observe this reality, what would even be the point. This world would cease to exist because I am the observer and this world is for ME.

>>511198683 (OP)
Well im all ears if you have a solution to it bro but until then im not going to stress about something that every other person for all of history has had no control over

you accept that its the sopranos ending and just get over it. if its not the sopranos ending thats great, but for all intents and purposes you treat it as such until you fucking die.

>>511198683 (OP)
I think about death every day as well, I've been kind of obsessed. I'm not scared of it, I just find it absurd. I'd rather humans never became intelligent, it's a curse being able to contemplate death.

>Caesar, after he glanced at the decrepit figure of one of his guards, a soldier, exhausted and injured, who had met him in the street to ask leave to kill himself, answered jokingly: “So you think you are alive?” If we reached that point all at once, I do not believe we could bear such changes. But Nature leads us by the hand, down a gentle, imperceptible slope, little by little, step by step, and tricks us into this miserable state and gets us used to it. Indeed, we are not shaken by the death of our youth which, in reality, is a harder death than the long death of a languishing life or than death from old age. In fact, the jump from being poorly to not being at all is not as hard as that from a flourishing and sweet existence to a tiresome and painful one.

>How do you cope with your mortality?
Badly, honestly.
I very much hate the idea that I will not see the future that comes after me, be it bleak or bright.
But since no devils or alien get a clue and let me sell my 'soul' for immortality or some shit, I'll just observe what I get occasion to.

>>511198683 (OP)
Dead for infinity, starting on the day of your death.
But don't worry about it, we've all be dead before.

>I very much hate the idea that I will not see the future that comes after me, be it bleak or bright.
It's a terrible feeling

>>511198683 (OP)
It'll be just like it was before you were born
And nothing happened after that, did it?

>>511198683 (OP)
I worry about my mom dying before myself

Where we are, death is not, and where death is, we are not.

Accept it and understand this; Our time is finite. Use your time wisely to make the most out of your life and focus on what you can control. Be confident and take risks. Ask that super hot bitch out on a date. If she says no, so what? Do you think anyone will remember or care in a few decades? Nope! Leave no stone unturned, anon.

I just keep it real.
Always go on adventures, have sex, eat good food, buy track suits, shoot guns, drink nice whiskey.

>>511198683 (OP)
you do know there is plenty of research on what happens when you die, right? start reading, and take nothing at face value.

Jesus is my co-pilot

do some hero doses of acid and dmt and kill your ego. you won’t worry about it anymore.

Go join them then, gay retard.

>>511198683 (OP)
there IS a life after death and its far beyond what anybody could ever be prepared for
its not at all like just a big black out, consider for example that during a black out or sleep your brain activity is the comllete opposite of what happens in death, in sleep your brain hunkers down and preserves itself, reducing activity and consuming fewer resources, while in death every cell in your body activates a kill switch and suddenly you become subject to entropy, all your cells and built up chemical energies releasing energy into the environment
people who have had near death experiences say its like being filled with a blinding light full of love and all encompasing

>>511198683 (OP)
I don't. It's completely tied to your beliefs and your beliefs come from your paradigm. In my paradigm there's continuity of identity after death, or rather the chance of it. I've worked towards this chance, so i don't need to cope with mortality because i see death as a transition and i've made sure i can preserve my identity afterwards.

Also, there's no point in arguing against my beliefs in here, just saving people some minutes of their lives.

>>511198683 (OP)

It's not if you will die it's how you die that you should worry about more. And with that enjoy as much as life as possible and remember your mind is the most important thing. I'm 44 I worked shit job after shit job but I'm not burdened with a wife and kids to worry about. That's the shit people freak over about more.

Brothers, there is nothing to fear but the fear of death.

I care less the older I get.
It used to bother me, but now I'm starting to understand why my grandmother was looking forward to death.

no wojak, no cry

personally i hate my life and i hate the way life is on earth. most people end up doing rote/meaningless/repetitive work for 50 years with constant pressure applied in the form of bills/expenses and scheduled appearances

>>511203682
If God is so capable why are near death experiences possible. That ruins the illusion of total confusion

>>511198683 (OP)
I worry more about others than myself.

>>511198683 (OP)
I just try to be healthy and consider that the universe is way more complex and bigger than I will ever understand, and that the equally enigmatic mystery of consciousness and self-awareness means that some form of non reddit transcendence is possible.
Regardless, it is beyond my control, so I just try to live well, do good and be healthy, and promote the same to those I care about.

>>511198683 (OP)
smoking weed makes you feel this way.
answer: cut back on the weed

>>511198683 (OP)
Happy to get off this prison planet filled with the worst types of things.

I believe in something akin to quantum immortality theory and I assume it extends to every observer on in their own personal dimension/timeline. I an heroed too many times to not understand this.

>>511198683 (OP)
Me and God got it all figured out, and because of that I'm not scared of death, I'm only scared of 3 letter glow agencies

>>511198683 (OP)
Honestly I don't even care anymore. Life I so shit and pointless that mortality feels comforting.

>>511206128
We are all going to make it.

Once you're 55+, you might as well be dead. Old people are gross. Live while your body works and you're aesthetically pleasing.

If you have 30 or so years left in your epxected lifespan, you will probably make it to the age escape velocity where our technology and medicine allows people to live as long as they want.

>>511198683 (OP)
>How do you cope with your mortality /pol/?
I believe this to be a simulation of which our awareness is of a very limited scope of what reality is. To think that life ends at death is akin to a fish believing water is all there is. Once this mortal coil is shuffled off the perspective and awareness that binds my consciousness to this flawed plane of existence is released and I shall return to a more abstract form of reality where everything simply is. There, I will wait or process the experience until the next wave of reality claims me and I'm born into this world, or the next, again.

>>511198683 (OP)
I believe we are possibly experiencing infinity. I am you and you are me. Its why all schools(masonic indoctrination center) teach the golden rule, to absolve them of their karma. They basically tell you what you do in life is what will happen on the other side. The people you hurt, the animals you eat. You will be them, because you are experiencing infinity. And so, you should try to make it a life where all living things can find happiness. To eat the caged animals, is to be the caged animals. To say mean things to another in an effort to hurt them, is to hurt yourself.

>>511206437
Entropy will (probably) get us all no matter what. Thought to contrary would need to assume our present knowledge about how reality works is fundamentally flawed.
Still a few trillion years instead of 80 is nice alternative.

>>511198683 (OP)
>With the world on their side in the conviction that being alive is all right, non-pessimists are not disposed to musing that human existence is a wholesale tragedy. They only argue the fine points of whatever it is about human existence that grabs their attention, which may include the tragic but not so much that they lose their commitment to the proposition that being alive is all right. And they can do this until the day they die, which is all right by them.

>>511198683 (OP)
>How do you cope with your mortality /pol/?
I embrace it
I'm so fucking relieved that I'm going to die one day and just insist on making the most of the time I have, but when I go I go. Preferably before my wife dies even though she can't realistically do a fucking thing on her own.

>>511206868
retarded

also why a cake?

>>511198683 (OP)
im not old so i dont think about it much but what panics me is dying in a jeetish way, like getting cut in half by a train, or because i was fucking around electicity, or with a wild animal. im sure you go to hell for dying in such a retarded manner.

cope? what's there to cope with? we all have expiration dates, and some of us will never know exactly when
do yourself a favor NOW, and stop being a bitch, everyone will die
