Have you made peace with the fact that you could die any day? Why or why not?

I don't fear it because there is nothing I can do about it.
 
am always thinking about the small things. The things that one day will run out. I won't be able to enjoy mcdonalds, I won't be able too breathe fresh air, listen to my favourite music, Enjoy the lion king, etc/
I don't think I fear actual death, I mean: as long as I don't die alone, I don't die in my sleep and my last wishes are respected, I guess I'm okay.

I should think that to die in one's sleep would be the best choice: if one were given a choice.
 
Yes maybe, but I want some level of conciousness even if that's just funny breathing
Ah, so....you want to understand what's going on? I think I get that.

I guess I'm thinking more like surprise! "a thief in the night"; or just really quick like a lightening strike, "ZAP...you're gone." Rather than being in some kind of slow, terminal, awful pain for days, weeks or months.
I suppose we'll not know until the time gets here.
 
I suppose I have, I just hope it doesn't hurt when its my time to go.

Yeah, I can only hope not to end up in a freak accident (like in Final Destination for example) and die an excruciating death.

Great movies! ....but yeah I don't want to go out like any of them. :fright:
 
Honestly I'm more afraid of how I'm going to die than dying itself. I am afraid it's going to hurt, and I hope when it is my time to go I go in my sleep peacefully.

Same here. In your sleep is the best way to go.
 
I'm more afraid of pain than death, I think. So, I've somewhat made peace with death, especially considering it's inevitable.
 
No., I haven't made peace. I think we always "exist' so not existing at least in the present form seems beyond comprehension.
 
No, I would like to be a vampire and live forever.
 
No, I'm not sure that I have. It's hopefully too far off to think about it.
 
I don't want to die. But, I also don't really want to live forever either.
That sounds pretty on spot! A lot of people probably feel the exact same way, especially if we continue to age as we get older. You can only suffer so much in the world before you just don't want to live any longer. Sure, joy does exist, but a lot of suffering does too.
 
Do you ever watch What We Do In the Shadows?

I haven't yet. It's been recommended to me and I do want to watch it, I just have a really hard time committing to new media. I'll watch it eventually, though.
