Does it make you sad to think that you'll die someday?

no

The only thing that scares me is the fact that you are truly alone when you die. The physical presence of others is insignificant. You cross the threshhold of death alone with only your thoughts.

It used to, I used to get anxiety daily thinking about it. Now I just don't care.. and I enjoy my McDonald's coffee. (anyone with anxiety knows coffee is a HUGE no-no) 😛

1. I want to die saving someone else's' life, but in the act, not languishing in a hospital bed.
2. I want to die after my wife so she does not have to live through my dying and then live through being alone (which I know she would hate).
3. I want to die before my kids, but after seeing a grandchild.

Of course, I want all of this to happen after about 2050.

Sad, no

Apprehensive, yes

I stopped reading after page 2 when this became a religious argument...no real surprise there. This is how I feel about dying:

Do Not Go Gentle

Very. It's almost upsetting to think about. Our lifetimes are insignificant and minuscule in the scheme of.. time.

So! Can we have your liver?

i think if you live to a ripe old age there comes a time when you just want to die. therefore, dying would make you happy.

A single woman with a juicy inheritance, yup, what a horrible situation to be in.

Honestly? Yes. Not only does it make me sad, but it makes me scared. Dying is scary stuff. Trying to comprehend how long infinity is scares me. Trying to imagine never existing again blows my mind.

That being said, death is the biggest motivator in my life. There's so much I want to do and so little time in which to do it, that the thought of dying pushes me to do things I never would have in the past.

It's a double-edged sword. Plus, thinking about it is just a waste of time. We're all going to die.

 

[SparkyJJO]

No, it doesn't make me sad, or really scared. As long as I don't die in some horrible situation like torture or something.

What's the point in worrying about dying anyway, its gonna happen anyway. The only reason to worry about it is if you have no hope for the other side 😉 If this life is all you have, then I can see why you'd be scared/sad/whatever.

No, because I know the flying spaghetti monster is waiting for me.
