How do you deal with the fact that, one day, you die?

I'm 26 and still haven't quite come to terms with it. I'm not sure how to.

i dont fear death. I fear dying without ever finding long term love and making children.

Understand it's not that scary. When it comes, it comes, nothing you can do about it. Try to live as full a life as possible. Dying is easy, the people that care about you and have to live when you're gone have it hard.

Hiw did you come to terms with the universe prior to your birth? Tangential question: Do you believe the universe is infinite? Spacially, I mean.

who gives a shit
as long as i'm alive, dying ain't my problem
once i'm dead, it still ain't my problem

Read Being and Time

I fear old age. Valhalla...

>t. Epicurus

I'm 34, and I have nothing. No real hobbies, no skills, no social life or SO

If I got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer today, I would give zero fucks

So I guess, the more you have to lose the less appealing the prospect of death seems

I also don't believe in God or an afterlife, death is just the same state you were in before you were born. I'm just not concerned by it. Pain is a different story, but luckily you can always cash out before it gets too bad. Unless you get committed

being worried about it won't make it easier or really benefit you in any way
So don't worry about it

You're strapped in to this ride, one way ticket, you can choose to get off at any time but you only get to ride once in any case. You're a small part of the universe experiencing itself and nothing you do cosmically matters. Might as well have some fun on the way down because the questions don't matter and the points are made up

Don't think about it

I don't die

Underage b&

It's an inevitability. Accept this fact, and enjoy the now as best you can.

>im 17
Enjoy your ban you dipshit newfag

I don't care.

I could get hit by a bus tomorrow and I won't give a shit

How do you deal with the fact that at some point at night, you fall asleep?

It's 1am and I still haven't quite come to terms with it. I'm not sure how to.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Go read some Camus, kiddo

Death is something beautiful my guy, embrace it that way it won't way you down. Remember before you were born? I personally don't but I didn't suffer and I guess you can say you didn't enjoy it either, it's literally nothing and nothing aint that bad chef.

Dying isn't as bad, I assume you live in a western society where we see death as something incredibly dark and we rarely see it our in our daily lives unless a loved one maybe passes away. Death is everywhere and is a foundation of life come to terms with it embrace it. And just live man, remember we're apes on a giant rock in an huge space trying to make sense of what we call life.

To be honest, I was right around your age when I was struggling with the same thing, but here is the deal user: once you come to accept your mortality is the day you are really freed from such inane concepts as death.
Legit hope this helps.

At 26 you're supposed to be afraid of death, as you're young and full of energy and life.
The older we get, the less fear we feel - it's natural accept our mortallity as we age.
Don't worry about it, just live while you alive.

Just pretend you won't. Problem solved.

Happily. Started getting arthritis at 25. Hand shakes started at 30. Around 55 I likely won't be able to pick anything up without shaking the shit out of it and my arthritis will be rheumatoid and in every joint. I got the short end of the stick and old age is not going to be fun for me. It gets hard for everyone though eventually. Just enjoy the years you have as an able bodied human. By the time you reach the end of the road, you may want to go anyway. That's a long way away for you. You'll be a different person by then. Let the future you think about those things.

Death is a silly concept mortal. You are a snippet of the infinite. The process that started you is as old as time, and your echoes (no matter how "small") will remain until time ends. Who can say this fleeting moment of lucidity is the most "living" we have to offer?

Don't worry. I'll be there with you in your dreams. Look for the man with no face. I'll guide you.

cant wait

The key is to go out and do the things you want with your life while you are still 26.
Don't get old with an unchecked bucket list, and the end just becomes a permanent vacation you don't really mind when it finally arrives.

My death is someone else's problem.

Just a part of life, OP. It’s only a big deal if you make a big deal of it. Might as well just enjoy the ride!

the same way that you deal with the fact that one day you were born.

There's no difference.

best advice ever

I don't think about it. I'm good at not thinking about things I don't want to think about.

It's fine, death is nice. But if I could choose, then I'd time travel a bit to the future where we can upload our brains or have eliminated aging. Its pretty shitty to be in one of the last mortal generations.

I believe you on having no social life or SO, fuck that shit.
But I'm sure you're actually decent at some skill and have interests / hobbies. Don't bullshit us user.

It's impossible to prove any of this exists as even the most realistic interpretations of reality tell us our brains are just simulating it. Brain could just lie about itself existing, as well as its inputs. There are no real answers and death is just as illusory

I've been reincarnated at least 3 times...ama

I'm 25 and I want to die since like early teen years.
I accept death as nothingness. Fucking hate it that my parents brought me here against my will.

honestly can't wait to find out. we all die anyway faggots but nobody knows the answer until the final moments.

Breh, then you'd just fear dying before them/them dying

how would you feel if you knew you reincarnated into hundreds of human lives and this one was spent longingly unfulfilled as a karmic debt for past/future lives?

karmic debt is just a way to get idiots/mentally ill people to think about the future consequences of actions, including beyond death

the eternal unfulfilment is what keeps me (maybe us) going. without need why would be exist?

>karmic debt
what if it's not a good/bad debit card but instead different perspectives on this reality? all pieces to the puzzle in one way or another

the good/bad part is a necesary projection for keeping this vessel alive. No action ever ends or is truly independent

>eternal unfulfillment
unfulfillment is a common curse spell of our plane in this reality. (other planes i.e. tribal society it hardly exists) i don't think it's eternal. you can let go and be free and joyful in this life.

interesting. which may agree with my idea that karma isn't a good/bad bank, just a term used to explain everyone different 'power level' (in lazy terms)

Why fear death. When it is life that regularly fucks people over? :p

another thought: would it make sense for us to reincarnate as every single human life on earth? or would a couple hundred/thousand suffice for this form of reality? if so, are there millions of concurrent players or are there any NPCs??

No, the unfulfilment is as physical as spiritual. We need sustenence, and are wasteful by nature (can't process nearly anything 100%). Transformation and mutation are even in the "atoms" that make us. Stasis is death, change and movement are life

if there's anything I have learned, it's that we are more than animals. overcome your base animal instincts (cooming in general, etc) and you'll discover an intellgence/strength/power that will show that our purpose is as spiritual beings and not to just follow the animal impulses that we do possess but are our lower level powers

I was forced to deal with the fact that I'll die relatively sooner than most due to my disability. Because of that, my priorities and view changed. It went from "shit I might die soon" to "so what? we all die one day". Death is the one thing that's equal to all. Doesn't matter your religion, sex, Creed or astrology sign. So instead of worrying about when I'll die, I'll live my life and enjoy it for myself and not others.

I think that karma is limited by the morality applied to it. It's all well and good to get lost in thought about whats good and bad, but that time could be spent thinking about the true extent of the actions, or could be spent doing something "fulfilling"

I'm not afraid of something I can't control I'm more afraid of the person I might leave behind with no one that cares about her

I see now brother. interesting indeed. I'll chew on that one. if we're physically fulfilled, is spiritual fulfillment the next step?

memento mori
any moment could be your last
act accordingly

I guess the closest thing i'd call spiritual fulfilment would be acceptance and "healthy" integration of the inevitable suffering, and learn to channel it to a constructive form. All emotions are merely abstract signposts. Only you can really decide where they lead cos no one can read them properly

Another aspect of the eternal unfulfilment is that we'll never know everything (individually) and what we "know" is subject to be disproven. All comes back to faith in a better world, all we can do is have faith that our judgements and actions will lead to that, and reflect on ones that don't. The word faith is tainted atm but without it we'd be fucked, gods or no

"If I am, then death is not.
If Death is, then I am not.
Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?"

-Epicurus

If he's really dead then why do his words still echo?

Babbys first existential crisis?

Everyone dies.
Everything dies.
I will die.
And so will you.

Not everyone has the "gift" of existential crises from a young age, the lucky ones are the ones that just fucking live their life without dwelling. They might be more enlightened than the people who ruminate on it .

The same way that the fact, one day, you're born.

It happens either way.

Thanks to denial, I'm immortal.
