mind

[maggot4life]

when you die, does your mind keep thinking? ofcourse no one knows..

when the body dies the mind go's with it or does it?

bcos when i die i dnt wana think anymore

[bebo]

i hope not! one of the reasons i want to be buried alone so no ****** can drive me mad when iam six feet under.

I often wonder if people really think about issues like this. It's easy to say, oh when I die that's it and I won't care because I won't be around to care anymore.

But the fear of annihilation is strong in most of us (if we give it 5 minutes thought). I think that in itself is proof enough that the sentient part of us will continue after the bones have become dust. Annihilation doesn't make sense.

The brain itself will not continue to 'think' as it will be dead!! However, depending on your belief system in the hereafter, you can choose to believe that death is final in terms of mortality, or you can believe otherwise. I believe that what makes us 'us' is more than physical and that we have a soul, which carries on after our physical bodies are dead. I could liken it to electricity; you can't see it but if you stuck your finger in the socket, you'd soon know it was there!! I could carry on for many paragraphs about this but I'll leave it at that!

i disagree abt the fear of death, last week i stabbed my chest with a large paif of scissors, and almost died, i hate to share this but now im home and im so ill i wonder wat will happen to me if i died that day....

the reason for that is very understandable which i wont go into..

I was reading up on Jack and Jill during the week - don't ask! - and apparently it relates to France. Anyway, in amongst a lot of other things, I learnt that apparently after a beheading the head is held up by the hair, not to show the crowd that the deed was done, but to show the head the body as the brain is still alive for about 8 seconds after being removed! This of course could be a load of old tosh, but something to think about.

[maggot4life]

joby1 i did, i am not lying i did, why are u asking me to grow up. i did stab myself in the chest why wud i lieing about that, and whats so hard for u 2 understand that i cud actually tell people and be on the internet a week later..

not maggot like that chav loser from big brother, come to think of it u wudnt even know wat a maggot is

[igenioramus]

I'm sorry you find thinking so painful. I had a friend who had a similar 'mishap' with a sharp object. He too was seeking oblivion.

At the last minute though, while slipping from consciousness things suddenly went dark and he panicked and cried out for help. His brother found him in time to save his life. In that split second he gained a new perspective on the value of his life, even though it had been painful. He values himself properly now. He's more selective about who he regards as real friends. He doesn't hang around time wasters, simply because he doesn't want to waste his life. But he has an amazing understanding of others because of what he's been through, and works selflessly for people who need help. He still gets depressed, but that's sometimes the price of being a thinker.

[joby1]

no of course not fly pupae!
So, if you stabbed yourself with a large pair of scissors in the chest.......I would hint that it wasn't so much a stab...as a scratch!!! for you to be here within a week???

Get well soon BTW

[loukr]

[loukr]
