Can you look death in the eyes...?

Question

and laugh?

Answer 1

Sure, I was married to her for ten years!

Answer 2

Of course, I have before and he ran away before I took death out..  I ask death if I could buy him a drink,and death laughed so hard,death had to run, I never saw someone run so fast,I put the fear of happiness into death!!!

Answer 3

depends, idk, i did have a fever once, malaria or something similar, i thought at one point that i was going to die and a man with a white beard appeared in a hallucination and we struck a deal to get me back to health, ive since broken the promises that i made. so no i didn't laugh, i negotiated, and cheated on the deal.

Answer 4

Depends on if it's there to look at and laugh at.

Answer 5

Considering I overdosed on vicodin,focalin,and booze and I didn't die, as well as, a few other close calls, I don't fear death.

Answer 6

Been there, done that. Do not remember laughing, though.

Answer 7

Nope - absolutely not.  I am terrified of death, in fact.  When my father passed away, that seemed to lessen, thinking that when I died, I would see him again.  But that feeling has subsided, and now I'm back to terror at the thought.

At this point in my life, I am far too happy to want to see an end to it...

Answer 8

Oh, gosh, yes.  As often as I accidently fall off cliffs, get tangled up somehow when I skydive and drive off the sides of mountains while swerving to avoid some fox or whatever, I have been in the jaws of death many times, that actual moment of "oops. i bought it THIS time".  When it happens, I get these primordial giggles, not because I cannot look death in the eyes.  But because every time so far I get this profoundly lucid and peaceful realization amidst all that shock of threats to my life that it is not yet my time and that it is death that does not have the balls to look ME in the eyes.   I savor life way too much to be afraid of something as meaningless as death or to waste a moment of my life on fear.  

Except fear of spiders.  For me, it's OK to be afraid of them and still consider myself enlightened.

Answer 9

Death hasn't got eyes. If you are using personification, then yes. I can. But I wouldn't unless I was happy about it. But I still have a life to live here and I am not ready to leave anytime soon.

Answer 10

yes. death is nothing. its like going to sleep. it just happens.

Answer 11

H#ll Yeah!!!

Answer 12

I can and I do.

If I were to die today...I know that I have accomplished all in life that was meant to be.

Sure the thought of my kids not having their mother saddens me..but I would rather see myself die than any of them.

Answer 13

I see death several times each week, but I can't laugh about it.  It makes me devastated each and every time.

Answer 14

sure why not

Answer 15

Sure - if God exists I'll be finding out soon enough and if he doesn't, it won't bother me for much longer :-)

Answer 16

I wouldn't laugh. I would shake its hand.

Answer 17

I thought I did when I was in a near fatal accident in Chicago. I wasn't in my senses long enough to 'look death in its eyes', lol !

Answer 18

I'll let you know when I have a near-death experience.
