How many people just don't care?

[Soluncreed]

Does anyone else not care about death? I look at it as a natural part of life and is not a sad event. There are about 7 billion people on this planet and one or two people don't make a difference. Most people will not be remembered anyway, so what is the point of even feeling sad?

 

[Handofpwn]

I dont care because I plan on doing something worthy of a wikipedia entry at the very least.

 

[Sassafrass]

Meh. Like someone once said (me): Death. Life's after-party.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Well, I don't think i care that much. I wasn't even sad at both of the funerals I have attended. Then again, I am a robot.

 

[UnravThreads]

I've not cried at a funeral, well... I tend to be bored to near-tears at them. They're often of the Christian variety in England (or at least the ones I've attended are).

Depends how you look at death, though. I'm one of those who's sad they're gone, but I'm not gonna go nuts. It's the only certainty in life, and you just have to accept it! No amount of crying, screaming, raging, thinking or mourning will bring them back.

I believe it was the Celts who cried at births, and laughed at funerals. Well, that's kinda what I do, except I don't give a rat's behind about births. No one has been born into my immediate family for about 16 years now. Plus, I really don't like kids.

I don't care. Way things are going, we already practically have sentience transfer, and we DO have cloning. By the time I'm near death, immortality will be about 100k$ away.

 

[Sovvolf]

I wont deny my fear of death nor will I deny my feelings towards it, yes I care about death and I fear it however I don't care or fear it enough for it to hinder me in any way.

 

[GeneralFurby]

Death's inevitable. I know i'm gonna die, no use fretting over it.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I'm really not someone that looks ahead. It's good and bad. Good, because I don't worry about things...like death. Bad, because my life never really moves forward.

 

[Urgh76]

meh
there are some people who are afraid of death..... yet even more afraid to keep on living

 

[Aardvark]

I care a great deal. That's why I'm researching the nature of consciousness, in the hopes that when the time draws near, I can move my consciousness onto a blank clone of myself at age 19. Or wipe somebody else's brain and hijack their body, if cloning technology hasn't progressed far enough for me to realise my dream

Something like... make something up then create a wikipedia entry about it?

 

[Ace of Spades]

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I was just having a conversation today about how if I could have my own Wikipedia page (that I didn't have to write), I would feel accomplished.

Incidentally, I think this is the third day in a row that someone has said something in a thread that I had been talking about earlier that day. It's getting kind of creepy.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

Death is natural, I don't fear it, nor do I care too much about it.

So I suppose I can wave my hands in the air like I just don't care now

 

[Rawker]

what does not kill me only delays the inevitable.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Chances are you don't care because death is not close at hand. Given the choice between life and death, you would still side with life...unless that is you don't care about life either and then you probably have other issues...

Just because something is inevitable doesn't mean you shouldn't fear it. Why shouldn't you fear the eventual destruction of yourself, everything you've loved, the traces of their existence and lastly the destruction of the universe that contains it? It's not irrational.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Death is the one thing that nobody wants to do, but everybody gets to. I have to say that not caring that you will die one day calls to my mind a person slothing through life with nothing to do and no reason to be, eventually thinking, fuck it, an hero. I care that I'm going to die one day. But I'm not afraid of it. The knowledge of my death simply makes the world more real. More important. It makes what's on the other side of death less interesting, because I know I'm going to find out what's up over there, or else simply stop existing. It makes today more fun.

Actually a great many cultures used to think the highest honour in life was to die a good death... Preferably on a battlefield somewhere. Also suicide victims want death... Obviously.

I have a different reason... Call me weird, but I look forward to it...

Something that nobody knows what will happen. Kinda holds a morbid fascination for me. I've seen what this life's gonna be all about, roll on the next one!

I got some stuff to do in this life first but I'm already looking forward to the next great adventure.

I just dont care about it
