Does thinking about death depress or motivate you?
 

For me it's motivation, for others I know they can't even think about it for a second or they'll turn in to emotional wrecks.

What say you guys?

Meh it sucks, doesn't really depress me or motivate me, just try to avoid it lol

it motivates me to be kind to people. every single time i see you could be the last time.

i just try to remember that simple fact.

I'm pretty ambivalent towards the whole death thing.

The thought of being on my death bed and really regretting not doing something I could easily have done terrifies me and sparks something in my brain that tells me to go out and do what I want to do with my life, not many other things have that effect on me.

You don't want to die without giving me a thousand dollars right?

If I could, I would, for real.

Wen I thought I was going die last year I worried about my daughter. That was the only thing that worried me if I'm tbc. Sure there's things I'd like to do that I haven't but Idgaf

If you're afraid of an extreme sense of crippling regret on your death bed don't worry. The feeling won't last too long.

i "fear" death all the time. not really the dying aspect, but just the fact that every time i think about dying, i am that much closer to dying. every day time goes by a little faster, and i'm just racing to infinite nothingness

its unsettling and i do not like it.

but we all die. so i indulge in my FANCIES and will return to the all when it is time

Contemplating death and the shroud around it makes me feel peaceful. Death is only a problem if one can't let go of this life. As if one's life is actually theirs to begin with. It is a current that we temporarily ride, nothing is set in stone. In some ways, this subject I call me is already dead. But, I understand it makes many feel frightened. I feel more saddened because of certain others I love dying, mainly my close family members. But, in my heart I know that it is for the best. For things to blossom, they must sometimes perish first. Regeneration and decay go hand at hand.

Read a quote about a Hockey player a while ago after having his teeth knocked out.
Said: "I wasn't worried about my teeth, I was worried about getting the puck."

Oddly, that's how I feel about life.
I don't think about death much at all.
Only getting what I want.

Lmao

Motivation. Everyone dies its a fact that cant be changed. So its either live with it or do whatever the people do who cant live with it. U can at least be a major factor in how u die and prolonging that. So be smart and remember nobody is promised tomorrow.

Thinking about death USED to give me extreme fear when I was younger.. but as time's passed by & I've lost close friends, far friends, & relatives both immediate & distant.. I've become more numb to it. I think about it & still get a bit scared by the thought, then it's immediately washed away by the thought of nature taking course. It's our inevitable fate as human beings to all die at some point. I believe in a higher power now, & I believe that higher power will uplift my spirit into a new form of being. There could never be such a thing as nothingness.

These days I cherish every day I wake up... I'm more scared of not fulfilling my destiny to the fullest.

It's why I got the tat 'Don't fear death, rather the inadequate life'.... & I truly live by the ink on my arm. I have to.

U have to.

We have to.

I avoid it.

I low key fear it.
