Dying is easy. Getting old sucks.

Getting old sucks. Being dead is easy. Dying is what humans fear.

When my time comes, I will do the respectable thing and head out to the woods with a girlie magazine and a .45, instead of slowing down the rest of the herd.

I think I fear not being able to work. Justin Wilson hung in there for 87 years so, I'm hoping to do the same.

Damn good for you. Men tend to punch-out early due to stress and poor decision making skills during our youth, which is my best guess for me.

the best way to die is not in perverted, compromised, or gruesome way that ends up with your picture and story published in social media. generations to come will only know about you due to your death and nothing else.

I'll be dead, why should I care?

But death is the ultimate release from desire, and therefore an end to suffering. We must let go of it all. What a weight off! We're bigger than our stuff.

I'm no longer afraid of it.

I'm Christian, so while I don't want to die right now, I'm not really scared of death either.

I'm a Nihilist, so while I don't want to die right now, I'm not really scared of death either.

As others have said aging is what sucks, that concerns me more than mortality. I hold some hope that in my lifetime either medicine or computing will advance enough to allow for practical immortality. I kinda doubt it, but it's fun to think about.

Fix the human dependence on oxygen, which is corrosive, and you might have a chance at solving the aging problem. Until then, die like all the rest.
