Not really. But I suppose it will be a relief to know that I won't be getting any dumber.

No, but I do not fear it either. You are born, you live, you die. It is the cycle of life.

No, death is an illusion, nothing more. What really happens is a transcendence to a different reality.

There are many things that I look forward to and on which I can exercise some control. My food , my travel , my incometax papers etc. Ther is one thing that I have absolutely no control on ... is my death. It is a preprogrammed thing. LIke your toilet visits. They come and urge you to leave for the rest room. That is . You leave.

Yes. I am tired of living.

Looking for true love is an impossible task for ugly people like me.

"All humans are imperfect and we all eventually die"

Death is our fate, but we didn't make that deal and we shouldn't even fear it. The more we fear death it makes us feel uneasy to live our life. The fact of living and enjoying every moment in our life is valuable.

Also, I've found that material things don't actually bring real happiness, we may use it to buy things and go to places, but the material things are only temporary. After we die, these material things don't follow us on the way.

The question is, why should I be looking forward to my own death? Unless, I am very unhappy with my life and also don't believe I am worthwhile to live it. But even that shouldn't be a reason to not stop us from living our life.

If you don't view life as valuable or haven't experienced life on a normal level and have a reason to blame it on the economy,religion,people, or even not having enough money. Then that's just one way that you're not making you're life as valuable, because you're putting a brick wall for yourself.

Brick walls are there for a reason, and that reason is when we really want something real badly. To get pass that brick wall we need to give it all we got and keep working hard at it to get pass that brick wall until we can get what we desire the most.

You should make the most of your life, even if you may not even have as much or enough as other people, it's the way you view life is all that matters. Life is valuable and you only get one chance to live it.

I've just recently watched "The last lecture" from a professor that goes by the name of Randy Pausch, and he has made a great impact of living life to the fullest. Despite he is battling pancreatic cancer, but his bravery in the face of death has inspired me to value life a little more than I have before.

In the Harry Potter books Dumbledore, the great Hogwarts headmaster, says that for the well-ordered mind Death is tne next great adventure. I like to think that's true. So yes, I do.

Yes, when I've achieved what I want to.

Right now, no, I still have many things to do.

In some ways, yes. Timothy Leary spoke about how the synapses (or something) of the human brain can continue to operate for 5 to 7 minutes after death. He said he was looking forward to that time, because it would be like a super-intensified form of dreaming, right? And you can have long, intricate dreams in only a couple minutes of real-life time...

I've always thought that this idea was sort of the secret premise to the film "Waking Life" - which you should watch if you're interested in theories on sleeping, dreams, death, and other philosophical topics - if you haven't already, that is.

No.

But I understand when it happens, it happens.

I live my life fully.
