Do you think as people age...
« on: January 17, 2012, 04:48:56 pm »
they accept the fact that they are going to die?  I HOPE SO because when I think of it now it terrifies me but hopefully I live a good life and am ready to go when I'm an old lady.

I'd like to think that I already accept the fact that I am going to die, and can die at any moment. At least when it happens, I wont be able to deny it.

Since nobody makes it out of life withing dying, mortality fears are irrational.  It is nevertheless as common for the young to either not fear death or, to never consider the possibility as for the older ones to do the opposite.
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

I am a senior citizen and as I have grown older I have studied my Christian Faith more than I did as a young person. The more I study the more at peace I have become. :)

Aging and death are just facts of life as we know it. Look, I don't know anyone who really wants to die, but it is inevitable.

I think as people age the do accept the fact they are going to have to die.  You really do not have a chose in the matter.  I hope as everyone gets even a day older thay learn to accept the impossibility of not living forever and will be great to go home to be with the Lord

I think when you die it could be the ultimate trip of your life (literally and figuratively)! We all have to take this trip - some just sooner than others. Pity one cannot send an email to friends and family to relate the experience afterwards! http://

I think that when people age their whole world changes from the things that they are familiar with to people that have died before them and sometimes being here is no longer as appealing as it once was. I think it is a factor.

Life is a gift at any age, so sieze the moment & life it to the fullest. As I age hovever, I aaccept that death is inevitable. :)

I've accepted the fact that I'm going to die one day at 22. I would rather  it be much later rather than sooner but I know it's going to happen. I don't see the point in worrying about the inevitable

I think that with age I've been able to put my death into perspective.  I now feel that eventually I will graduate from this life time and that it will be the end of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

My thing is that I want to make my exit gracefully...without a lot of pain. 

 :heart:



Have a great day!

Yes, I think sometimes you don't think about it as much when you're younger, but if you make the most out of life and are at peace with it, it's easier to accept!
