Broad topic is broad. IDK, i think about death, in video games/books/movies pretty regularly, and I relatively often think about the existence/not of the afterlife and god and the like. but actual death. Like the process of dying or being dead myself, not that often at all. Once a year? Less? I don't keep a running tally.
Every now and then.
Death doesnt depress me though.
What my friends or family might find in my comp will, but the act of dying doesnt sadden me.
No, its not because i believe i will go to some wonderful place full of women, clouds and pure happiness.
But because if im dead, i could care less that i died. Sure, people will be sad. But they will get over it.

Whenever I'm trying to lay down and get some sleep,if my mind isn't entertained I get straight to the depressing shit.
It wasn't even fifteen fucking minutes dude calm your goddamn tits.
Anyway. Not all that often. There are more important things to be concerned with.
I have the same stance on theism.

I don't often think of death anymore, I used to think of it a lot, though I was a funeral director so it'd be kinda weird if I didn't.
My outlook on life is simple, ive only got this one life and it's only a limited time, as indeed is the same for everyone else. So all I can do is live my life in a way that is more good than bad overall, taking responsibility for my mistakes, correcting them as best I can and doing things that I enjoy so long as i'm not actively harming anyone.
When I do die then thats that, my body will be donated to medical research and my organs (if any are worth using) to those who need them, at very least in my death maybe an aspiring doctor can learn something or indeed somone get a new organ.

The passage of time always boggles my mind, but I like to think about it regardless. Death is a significant factor in this because it marks the end of one's perceiving time. So yeah, I wind up thinking about death fairly frequently; even trying to envision the life of a child on a swing in the park naturally is paired with its end. But its the finite end that makes life all the more tangible, isn't it?
But my mother's in healthcare. From childhood I have been very aware that there are many fates worse than death, so I fear more the pain and emotional trauma it involves then an end itself.

Maybe twice a week? It's a pretty vague question but my response is 'shit, soon I won't ever be able to experience anything or be conscious of not experiencing anything'...
This, though when I do I find myself only able to view death through the absence of life that it represents, rather than as an independent phenomenon, though whether that is a part of the nature of death or just my own shortcoming is unclear to me.Commissar Sae said:
pretty much any time it seems like its an increased possibility.
its stopped bothering me. i faced it when I was five, and realized there's no point to being scared. so i dont think of it too often.

You tend to think about death perpetually when playing videogames.
Other than that, not very often. Although I just attended a funeral a few days ago so I've been thinking about it a little more frequently. I find thinking about death to be pointless daydreaming, unless you actually have an "I want to change my life and do something before I die" kind of revelation.

Ah, Melpomene's realm. I think about it every once a while, but mostly in a poetic sense. About my own death - I don't harbor any illusions of immortality and I don't want to, it will come when it will come.
