How Do You Perceive Death?

[shadowdancer]

Hi,

Thanks for all your answer. I just get my laptop LCD repaired. So, sorry for not replying for a while

As to maternity death, I am sorry for your friends' and your own loss. Not meaning to be tongue-in-cheek about this, in which place do you live? If it is an industrialised nation and has a high maternity death rate, my guess would be the United States.

Thanks for your condolence. But it wasn't my spouse who died. And in fact, I think the risk of maternity death is above the joy of having children, so we don't think of having children, until probably we change my mind.

When a person dies, perception simply stops, and then there is nothing. The important thing is what we do while we are alive, so focus on that while we are here. The grieving process for those who are still alive is complex, and for that I would recommend a strong, scientific therapist to guide you.

Agree that we need to focus on our life and what we got. But it is more like "Understanding C++" changed to "Understanding Death"

I've heard people cry because a relative of them died & he wasn't very religious, they didn't want him to go to hell, now that's insanity.

More than you, I watched those people

If someone wishes to be remembered in a specific way by his friends and loved ones after he dies, then it behooves him to live that way while he is alive. For most, that is enough incentive to be a decent person. No need to bring anything mystical into it.

Some people can't live without the mystic.

'To be remembered by those we've left behind is to never die.' That, perhaps, is the only form of after life that truly exists. Of course, if they remember you as a merciless bastard...

Hmm... should I return the cake I steal from my little brother?

I won't be able to percieve death, but if I am unlucky and percieve myself dying, I can honestly say that I will die without any regrets, since I've lived my life to the fullest.

Waw, you are really optimistic

Not that question. Undecided

In my opinion, then it matters even more because it is a one shot deal. Why wouldn't it matter? If you only had one chance to bake a cake, would you not care how it came out just because you would never bake a cake again?

I agree. As death is the only certain in this life, we humans should learn about it more.

It's like a cup of tea. Before the tea, the cup is empty. Then its full. You drink it, then the tea is gone and the cup is empty again. Except for a few traces.

What an simple, elegant explanation of life and death

---------------------------------

I have been searching any literature regarding death. Not how to do with the grief but to understand it more, to hear more people say about it.

If you found any good material on this topics, kindly share it.

Thanks for all responses
