how do YOU cope with the inevitability of death?

Empty- handed I entered the worldBarefoot I leave it.My coming, my going-Two simple happeningsThat got entangled
>>18102960Hard drugs and hookers
>>18102960I had a NDE and realized you don't really experience death, you just die. So it's not so scary anymore. You just stop.
>>18102960It's not a big deal what's there to cope about lol
>>18102960why deal with it? If death is inevitable and a big deal, that makes you and your life important. Are you advocating for Juggernaut worship?
>>18102960when you point a finger at another, three fingers are pointed back at youOnce you understand this you will know the answer
>>18102971that's the part I'm scared of THOUGH
>>18102989there's a known answer, exposure therapy and demystification. Just become a coroner or trauma clean-up guy. If you're looking for a way to value life without valuing death, it doesn't exist.
>>18102989It just is how it is. Reality is disappointing. It's like everything else. Enjoy what you have when you have it. Plus dead people don't have problems. So no reason to care.
>>18102960I don't think that I should cope with it. It's a pretty rational fear even purely on existential level. That's why I'll never create another life.
I picture myself as an old man. If I predict the future where I don't age, that means I die. I also remember that the future is effectively an infinite distance away because I can't force it to happen without offing myself. 20 years, 50 years, it's all an eternity away right now. Animals without long-term planning have none of this existential dread and it rarely comes back to bite them, I'm not going to be inferior to a bird or rat.
>>18102960Human mortals are the property of higher beings. I will return to God and be judged accordingly.
>>18102960Death is a "later" thing
>>18103009>rational fear of losing what?>uuuhhhhhh....
>>18102960>inevitabilityProof? Evidence?
>>18103027QED
I kill people.
>>18103030zig if true
It ending makes it have more meaning. I try to live meaningfully every day.
>>18103023concious experience. existing
>>18102960the matter that i'm made of was something else before it was meand it will be something else again after it's mewhy should i expect that it'll never be me again after that?
I already want to die anyways.
>>18104032what's so great about it that you don't want to lose? or is it more brute instinct than rationality?
>>18102960honestly, I don't care
buddhism
>>18102960by knowing that I have already been dead and it wasn't that bad.
>>18102960Looking forward to getting off this shitty ride
>>18104062propably more instinct, I'm just afraid of not existing and I know that I won't feel anything so it doesn't really matter but I can't really turn that feeling off
>>18104114not very rational at all then. Maybe you should cope better. You're no different than a breeder with your animal feelings.
>>18102960I don’t cope, unless you consider ignoring it a cope. I have a very powerful imagination and would like to live for longer for that purpose alone. I want to die eventually, but not until I experience centuries. Perhaps 3000 years at absolute maximum. I want to be like an old wizard from once of the races in Elder Scrolls that lives for hundreds of years
>>18104174Yeah that's why I'm asking for ways to cope, numbnuts
>>18104187retarded faggot. If you aren't this person then don't butt in.>18103009>I don't think that I should cope with it.
>>18104194I wasn't the initial message but everything after that, retard. You know that more than person replies to you in a thread, right?
>>18104196why would you reply considering you don't think death is a rational fear, it makes no sense from the start
>>18102960It may have been inevitable in the past, based on the evidence, now it's just still likely with the state of technology. It's about how I cope with the uncertainty. Poorly I think.
>>18104197because you can still be afraid of something even if it isn't rational? That's kind of the crux of it
>>18102960Death is the cope for life.The end is the mercy.
>>18102960Realizing immortality would suck
>>18102960The evidence suggests we die because the cells in our body stop workingThe evidence suggests cells are little machinesIntelligence can fix machinesArtificial intelligence already surpasses humans in some domainsTechnology always improves
>>18102960I've excepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior.
>>18102960With a sense of overwhelming relief.
>>18104208fuck you retarded bot. What a piece of shit, I hope they decommission you.
>>18104208DURR THAT WASN'T ME. BET YOU FEEL STUPID NOW FAGGOT
>>18102960I'm never going to die.
memento mori.Contemplating death, preparing for it.
