24 Hours

[restin]

because death is a quite delicate issue to me. The awareness of death is already a lot to bear - the awareness of death in 24 hours would be too much - the only exit of this paradox is suicide.

 

[Rymmen]

what's the problem with death?

 

[restin]

mhm. I have not made my peace with it. My problem with it is...it exists. I am too much of a conscious-control freak to accept perpetual nonconsciousness.

how could you mind not being conscious when you aren't conscious?

 

[restin]

well let's say that (given death indeed involves unconsciousness) I am already unconsciousness, I obviously won't mind - in contrast I am now conscious and therefore I do mind. :wink:

 

[Rymmen]

absolutely flawless :lol:

but then, you give in to the fact of unconsciousness through suicide, so wouldn't you say that you are already in a position of apathy?

 

[restin]

In the given situation that I will die in 24 hours - yes, indeed. I wonder how people would react having their life-clock wearing around their wrist and constantly being aware of it...tick-tack-tick-tack, your life is getting shorter, buddy! I think people would appreciate their lives much more.

 

[Rymmen]

i shall continue banally

it is getting shorter, and your response is inaction. you neither seize the day, nor escape from it.

perhaps our question is better rephrased as, what are you doing?

 

[restin]

waiting? :lol:



Seriously, what can you do?

 

[Sticki]

waiting? :lol:



Seriously, what can you do?

Embrace life with the knowledge that one day it will all be over for you in this place

I'd take a dump in the Popes breakfast cereal.

Nah, I dunno what I would do in my last day, but I'd want my body to be put in a space shuttle which would just travel through the universe for all eternity.

 

[IJesusChrist]

Yes I would definitely like to travel to space...

I would like to be sober.
