I have read several reports here. Many people no longer support their lives and think about killing themselves, just like me. Well, I think that after death there is nothing, it’s like a sleep, but eternal. For me there no other worlds, spirits, reincarnation etc. What do you think about it?
The only thing that make me unconfortable is think about my funeral. I hate this. I can’t get that thought out of my head. I’ve had nightmares about it, I see my body in the coffin, being buried. Do you think about it?

All I think about when we die is the void of pain we will finally find peace in death
I’ve instructed my family to give me the absolute cheapest funeral possble. Cremated me and throw me in thd gulf of Mexico. Th ed money they save throw a selfish party and buy something totally impractical or silly. Money and life are for the living. I’ll meet them at the rainbow bridge buried in rescue animals and I’ll be drinking million dollar champagne pissed by unicorns into my solid gold goblet.
I like that
Welcome to heaven. Here is your solid gold goblet of million dollar unicorn piss champagne.
When I was really little, I used to have this really weird, paranoid belief that our souls or consciousnesses or whatever stayed entombed in our bodies when we died, awake and fully perceptive, only able to leave after the body fully decays.
No one taught me that, and I never read a book about it or anything, so I have no clue why such an idea entered my head at such a young age. It was a terrifying prospect, to say the least. Cremation became a horrifying concept to me. Sure, you’d be released almost instantly from your rotting flesh prison, but you’d have to feel the pain of fire first.
I distinctly remember that at four or five, I told my mother that if I were to die, “don’t burn me like you did [late family dog]!” She was very confused, and alarmed.
Then when I got older, I learned that cremation was one of the earliest and most widespread forms of burial in the ancient world. Made me think for a while. Haha.
So yeah, I’ve thought about it.
Death is the end of consciousness. Consciousness is self.
Also, death costs zero dollars. Because everyone is so freaked out by human bodies lying around, the state is mandated to collect them. If no state authorized entity wants your body then the state will eventually burn it and stick it in a landfill for FREE!
When they find my body I’ll have no ID on me and a lock of Dick Cheney’s hair in my hand. Let ’em figure out that one!
Dick Cheney has hair left?!? LOL
politico dawg
PUBIC hair.
. I don’t personally believe there is anything after death but maybe that is because I am really hoping that there isn’t. If I want to die so bad it is simply because I don’t want to be living in this pain anymore. And so I hope the ‘afterlife’ is really just a void so that I don’t have to fear emotions or fighting through life again. I often think that maybe there is another life after and then maybe I am screwed either way because if we pay for our past lives in the next then it will just be an endless cycle of pain and resentment because I will surely pay for ending this life in the next. And that is probably my worst fear. Making the ultimate decision to end my life only to face this pain all over again.
But as far as funerals, I think about it a lot only because I would be curious to see who really cared. Maybe a little bit angry at who will show up after they didn’t help save me. But really in my mind funerals are for the living, something to give them closure and convince them that the person that died is now ‘better’ or ‘at peace’. Hopefully we all will be at peace in a better place. But I think worrying about our funerals is futile. There is no point to anything after we are gone.
You guys deal with this better than me. Think of my body frightens me, though I’m sure I want to die. But I know when the pain is unbearable I will be able to do what I have to without think of this issue.
I do not think there is anything after death.
The only exception I would make is if we are living in a simulation, which some people (including Elon Musk) say is more likely than not.
Then I guess we might just respawn.
That’s an interesting theory. I have never thought about it
I do believe there is nothing – just like before we were born. I did do a post on an alternative view on what happens. (It is a naturalistic view, NOT a supernatural one.)
I also am not super comfy with whatever happens with my body after death. I don’t want to leave anything behind. I just want to ‘pop’ out of existence and not leave anything messy to deal with. I also have (maybe?) and irrational fear of being buried or cremated. I’ve heard horror stories about people being buried alive and I know it doesn’t happen nowadays but, still, it’s a fear.
@SeeSmith, Don’t forget about Cheney’s shotgun. However, I do think it would be easier for Cheney to explain his pubes on a dead man than ‘intentionally’ shooting a man.
I can dream!
I don’t believe in the afterlife. As a child, I grew up believing in a god with the blessed heaven and condemned hell. However, as time passed the idea of both a god and/or devil is foolish. I’m more inclined to believe in aliens than the afterlife. Like we’re in some video game and the unfortunate humans got stuck with bad alien gamers. Once we’re dead, we don’t have any conscious of past, present, or future. I hope so because I don’t want to be tormented by my past as a lost spirit or ghost. How would a ghost die?
