Death. Plain and simply.

Slightly random but I always wondered when I was younger whether if I was born from different parents or if I was born a girl or something else like that, would I still be me?

Would I still exist just in a different situation? Hard to explain but I guess you'd never know as you wouldnt know you existed before so would never be able to tell

If you don't find it to be then you're thinking about it in the wrong way.

You see too many people coasting along in their life not really doing the things that are important to them, purely because they seem to have this idea that "Oh, there will be plenty of time to do it!", yet there is no guarantee of that whatsoever. A proper appreciation of your mortality can be one of the strongest motivating forces around, I mean look how people suddenly go into overdrive when they are diagnosed with cancer or other terminal illnesses.

Why wait until you've been told you only have 6 months/1 year/2 years to live when you can get on and do it right now?
 
I believe what I choose to believe will happen be it I'm gonna start life again as a Jedi or some random deiety gonna take back what he gave me tbh I don't care so long as I enjoy my life and am remembered that way I can never truely die And can annoy everyone for generations to come!

What if this world as I see it is the creation of my dead self. You are all just created in my little world, your thoughts don't exist - only mine... None of you are 'real' - I made you.

I'll wake up someday and it will all be a dream.
 
The only thing that worries me is the idea of facing death thinking "Hey, I'm not finished yet!"

There are so many exciting things to do, see, experience, that I'll be very upset in the final few moments of my life if I haven't done a sufficient number of them...

Otherwise, death holds no real fear.

I'm just not ready yet!

Going back into childhood for an analogy, it'd be like mum telling me I had to come home while just getting started in the real fun round my mate's house (like, we'd just built the den and were poised to leap off the dresser into the piled-up sofa cushions)...

Of course, as soon as you are dead - all upset is gone - squished - nada - as if you never existed in the first place. There's no you to care. I think that's beyond our comprehension... But living on is the 'you' inside all the heads of your friends and family, and /they/ get to feel the anguish on your behalf...
 
We're basically biological computers.
Pre programmed with basic intructions, force fed others and then we learn our own things.

Some of us are faster than others, but in the end we get old and obsolete.
When you're broken, i'm pretty sure that's it.

*bink*.
 
Yeah, I need to see more of the world before I go. Thats my main aim, and to have a family.

Small sub-tasks...

-live in New Zealand (leaving next winter!)
-become half decent at skiing/snowboarding
-skydive
-go scuba diving
-get my degree done to an acceptable level! (hopefully next May/June)


Morbid day @ the forums.

Through evolution the universe has been advancing conscious beings to a point where they become self aware. This is the way the universe is able to explore it's self. When we die we rejoin back with the universal pool of consciousness to share the knowledge we gathered.
