Hi (before I start I know I should stop watching scrubs)

I was watching scrubs today (the episode with George in) and it got me thinking about death. It makes me think that you have to enjoy every minute as you don't know what is going to happen, or when.

However it also had me thinking how everything you do, eventually, is futile.

So OCUK what are your thoughts on this subject?
 
Anything is only worth what you deem it to be worth. "Futile" in the respect that there is no universal scale to measure anything against yes, but anything can be "meaningful" if you deem it to be.

I hope that's encouraging(?) lol. It's what gets me by at the mo.
 
I think about it every day. I'm not scared of death, or dying. I'm intrigued as to what's beyond it. And I hope I can still listen to music.
 
Death doesn't really affect me or worry me to be honest. Although I have no religious beliefs, I know feel that my body is just a vehicle guided by my mind and although my molecules will be scattered, they will still be my molecules long after I'm gone.

Plus when I'm dead its HIGHLY unlikely I'll be bothered about it, as well, I'd be dead :P

On a side note, if I don't have kids I think it would worry me more than usual because of the tradition of the man passing the family name down to the next generation plus I'd technically not be full filling the reason I was created in the first place, aka to procreate.
 
I like to think that man's now reached a plateau whereby procreation isn't our only sole motivation for being.
 
Yeah. Not really afraid of it to be honest. I mean before you were born there was nothing so I'd imagine it'll be just like that, you won't know any difference.

Seeing elderly people in the hospital certainly makes me feel like appreciating life more though and trying to make best use of my time, **** spending time in hospital wishing you did XYZ in the past.
 
it kind of scares me in the sense that all of the memorys, past experiances and joy i have built up in my life will vanish just like that! but it is this sort of thing that often drives people to nihilism (quite a dangerous thought tbh) however i live my life to the full and enjoy every day, its just a shame that theres probably no afterlife as i will really miss my music hehe ;) as lysander said lol.
 
What i hate most about death, Is knowing how much I'm going to miss in the future. :(

I know I dont know the future, or whats coming. but i do know I'd like to see every single last minute of it if it was possible
 
Everyonce in a while but i'm quite young so I don't think about myself, but i do think about my parents and what it's going to be like and how i'll cope but meh, depressing thread is depressing
 
I used to think about it every now and then, but it made me sad, so I try to steer my mind away from such contemplation.

Here's a good one for next time you're lying awake at night; try to remember as many events from your life as possible, even little scraps, try and find your earliest memory.
