If I die tommorow...
How would you feel about the life you've lived so far if you know you would die tomorrow? Regret? Acceptance? Desperation to do something interesting? Or for that matter, where would you think you'd end up after death?
All reflections welcome. I'll respond tomorrow.

Well dunno, i'll probably feel the same way i felt last time i was smokin some special sort of ganja (which i didn't knew) - but it made me for nearly half-night feeling very very very bad. I was trying to grab the world this day. But they say i was looking stupid. Also the friend who gave me the marijuana (actually was no friend of mine -but more likely fella - i knew him for three or four days) - he died in my country in one town while waiting for someone to hike him on the road - it was winter - he got frozen. Be peace on him, his ganja was the best i've ever smoked.
lots of threads bout suicides, death, life in danger - hum - was really last year so bad?

I think.
Some people would cry for me..
Some people will like it!
And some people will cry.. but after a month they will be happy because of the things I left behind 
I don't believe in fairytales like you will go to heaven or hell... That are just bed time stories!
I'm not really afraid for death.. But I'm afraid for the way you would die.. It hurts all! AAAAAH
And like Nickman said.. I would do things I always wanted too do...On a photo with an Tamed white tiger  Bungy jumping in america.. Or take a plane!(Never have taken a plane before ) Visit Egypt,Arizona,Jakarta and Australia!! playing a small role in a movie. But I think I won't make that all in just one day.. Give me a few weeks then

Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
There is little use for us to think of when we die or how we die, but rather that we could die at any time. Life is relative, but death is the only certain thing of mortal existence. We just keep that little bird on our shoulders to remind us that death is just around the corner and we must live our lives to the best of our ability. That does not mean that we should become reckless and try to live life to the fullest possible, every day. We should just not waste our lives on earth, but rather we should do as much good as we can here for others. The future will care far less about who were, rather than what we have done to benefit our communities if only at a local level. We should all be leaders of ourselves and of others. Let us be brave and commit us to leadership and servitude. To lead is to serve, and to serve is to live. Life is not all sorrow. Let us take the good with the bad, and not worry ourselves with what we have no control over. Our almighty Father in heaven and our earth control our lives. We are all small parts of his vastly awesome power, and each of us is but a fragment of humanity. One day we shall face our Father again, and on that day, we shall be judged. However, until then, death is not yet upon us.
Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.

First off, I thought this more as a reflection thread than a morbid one. There's no question that can hit you over the head like "What has your life come to after all these years?"
As for my thoughts... I have not done most of the things in life I've wanted to. However, I also have some pretty damn big dreams. Among them, to help reshape modern rock music, retire on 5+ acres of wooded property, visit Europe, keep light and love in the world where it seems there is just so little sometimes... All that will take the next 30 years of my life. I would not be pleased if I were to find out if I would die tommorow. There's just too much I want to do and not enough time to do it tomorrow.
But above them all is simply to not die a boring man. That is, if I die at all. *g* And if that were the case, I would not be satisfied, but I would die content.

Well, I'm supposed to be death, but if the Fates send my an e-mail saying they will meet me tomorrow... I'll run to my boss office right now and make an oustanding, passionate and agressive exposition of what I think about this company. Then I'll go to the University, to deliver some pieces of the truth they'll surely consider as insults. I'll spend the rest of the day trying to say to my family and friends all the good things I've keep in silence about them and reserving the bad ones to myself.
And I'm pretty satisfied about my life, but I'm close to thirty years old and, at least where I live, this is just the beginning of a life, what is more than most of earth population can say. We western europeans aren't usually aware of the luck we have for being born here.
And when the final moment comes, I would like to face death following the advice of the Gladiator Maximus: Death smiles to everyone; I try to smile at her.

I hope i will die soon!
well,
I lived about 23 years...I have tried to achieve lots in life...achieved some of them...
But I tried to make good, long lasting friends.
Thats never happened. With each passing day I wake up with some remaining determination to improve my lot. I sleep knowing i have fallen deeper.
Then out of the blue will come a cruel day where I will actually have fun with friends for a decent amount of time.Only to realise along the way, that the picture was not the way it seemed.
Most of them were just bearing me. Those I think are my good friends, turn out not to be. Those I want to become firends with, move further away.
I tried very hard to correct myself over these past 23 or so years...i am 23 years old...but nothin seems to work.
Frankly I am clueless about what it is that has to be changed in me. ya. thats it. If i change to protect myself from the hurt that comes from people being rude or not affectionate, then i think people construe that to be my aloofness/rudeness. I assume.
Not to say that I am not known among my groups. Infact, in my present bacth I doubt there is a single soul who doesnt know me. So I am outgoing.
Then what gives?
Somedays I feel like giving up and accepting that i will be like this. then I see someone having friends and having fun with them. There and then I getb a new found urge to better my lot. I have this tenacity. this never say die attitude that keeps me going- and that is killing. Coz it subjects me to a constant roller-coaster ride of emotions-highs and lows...I find it difficult to be at peace with myself.
Ya thats it. I find it difficult to find peace. My mind is in a constant turmoil primarily over -"How far have i progressed? Have I made a better friend today?"
Surprisingly I never give anyone any extra leeway just coz they are being more-friendly on a given day. I wont ever be taken for a ride. NEVER.
So why all this? Well. Death. Doesnt come on me. If it does, i die knowing that I did not achieve something...and thats killing me.
I know i will never commit suicide. And i know god will not kill me soon enuff. Its almost like he wants me to suffer.
Gives me new hope whenever I feel like giving up.
Then the snow starts piling all over again. And I start swiming in it to land. And then In between when I can swim no more...I get a lifeboat...Take a deep breath...have some rations...and then it sinks...And the snow...
maan...disgusting.
But I am gonna go on. Sad part is someone is going to be added to my life...Probably 4-5 yrs from now. I am gonna ruin her life too. Poor girl. hope she is worse than i am. Then i get to suffer. And not her. Atleast she will be happy with my company. Hopefully.
hmmm.
hope that make me feel a bit better.

hmm...I've been reading your post venki and ....
well..let's just say I know what you're talking about ..
I've been through the same and now I just think..
I don't need friends.
And then it seems to come naturally ....If you work too hard on something it always seems to fail, cause you want perfection. You just have to realize no such thing excists.
Accept and love yourself cause no-one can make you happy but you.
I would be satisfied with my life if I died tomorrow.
I did all I could do and worked hard for my happiness and still am.
Only thing I would have regretted is that I haven't had the chance to have children..
that's about it

After death, what will come then?
The things I would regret would be not having time to meet all the nice people around the world. There are so many incredible people that fascinate every day and I would like to meet them all.
Also the ones I love and that love me should have been visitted more often and talked with. Time is a harsh mistress blub
But then after death comes reincarnation so why worry about those things anyway. Well, there will always be christians and I respect their beliefs.

Well I'd be very sorry for the people who'd be left behind...that's what keeps me here...
The thing that i'd like to do in that one day would be...
OMG...there are so many things i'd like to do in that day and all of them possible...but so many!! That's why I WANT to live longer and try to accopmlish all of them.

I would feel sad for those I was leaving behind.. and regretful that my ife was over so soon.
But I have accomplished a lot:- Got good grades at school, held positions of honour in my job and married somebody I care for.
My regrets? That I wasn't able to have any children and that I'd be leaving so much pain behind me.

The only regret I would have is not being able to watch my children grow up. They are my life so without them I wouldn't care to live any way.
I would love however to have a huge adrenalin rush by robbing a bank or something.......or I have always wanted to be one of those girls who dance in cages and do sexy things with poles lol.............

I get payed for doing that on occaision, when my agent gets his arse in gear, for a club in the next town. It requires hours of very painful training and it's knackering... you are up there for about 9 hours sometimes!! Trust me, you don't want to!
And Zud has a great pole.. hehehe
