I have these random I guess you can call “episodes” where i have this almost out of body experience where i start saying to myself, you’re just you, you’re literally just you, and start thinking about how minuscule i am and then it eventually leads to how i am so fearful of dying one day. I understand I wasn’t around for the Korean War, or world war 2, or the Roman Empire, and that makes sense, since I simply wasnt existing, but now that I exist, the thought of me not existing, and quite frankly never being able to exist again terrifies me. I went to a religious school for a few years and went to church etc, but science tells me that my body make up is unique, and just being born is winning the lottery in its own right. As nice as it is to think my body protrudes this soul is going to rise up and say what up Jesus am I in? or my very unique dna that can profile me as a murderer is going to somehow leak out of my dead composing body, and makes its way into some other woman’s vagina to again try to fight off another 1 million other contestants (assuming dad didn’t jerk off that day) just really gets to me that I have this one chance and this limited, aka very limited time to live a good life. I have a good life mind you. Great wife, supportive family, 2 kids now, great house, but this whole death thing just makes me say sometimes like, wtf man, I want to experience this love and life forever, why does it gotta be so short. Just would like to hear your guys’ thoughts on the manner. Thanks. [Reply]

If I'm about 90 when the bombs drop I want a front row seat to the fireworks show.
But I'll probably choke to death on a piece of chicken or something. [Reply]
As a true believer in Jesus Christ our Savior, I do not fear death because I know there is life after death that will be greater than my life on earth. As stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." Study the Bible to understand God's truths which will lead to believing in Jesus and you too will not fear your earthly death. [Reply]
Oh gentle death, sweet, gracious, beautiful, strong, rich, precious, death. I find, O death, but one fault in thee, thou art too sparing of thyself to him who desires thee, and too ready for him who shuns thee; yet I see that thou dost all things, according to the will of God, which is without fault; but our irregular appetites do not correspond, for if they did so, they would rest on the divine will, in peace and silence, as death itself does, and we should have no more choice than if we were already dead and buried.-St. Catherine of Genoa
Personally death can't come soon enough. Then again I always feel this way in the offseason. :-) [Reply]

I’d delay death if the Chiefs can follow that model.
But if the Chiefs replace Mahomes with a piece of shit like Brodie Croyle… I’d embrace death. [Reply]
I become more at ease with the idea of dying the older I get. I'm fairly comfortable with the idea right now, but will almost certainly fear the moment when it comes. It's one of the mercies of life that we become more comfortable with death as we get old.
As someone else pointed out with NDEs and reincarnation, I feel pretty confident that death is not the end of everything. I actually look forward to the experience of moving to the next stage, but I'm not so eager to try it out. [Reply]
