You say you fear for the people you wld leave behind and the pains.... Do you believe that in less than one month after your death your loved ones wld have moved on with their lives and all you wld be wld just be a memory. That you died doesnt stop life from going on.
Certainly people would move on when someone dies no matter how close they are. That's why I hope to spend a lot of time with them before it happens, so that I can make a memory to last a century. I wouldn't want my daughter, or my wife to forget me easily I live for them.

Darn, I don't want to die early but more importantly, I don't want a violent death like a tragic car/bike accident, being shot, stabbed etc. I do not like anything violent.
Merry Christmas Darn, did you check out what I asked you to?
A violent death isn't bad, you should rather hope that the pain ends fast.

Didn't note this earlier.

Do you believe there is some sort of reincarnation after death?
This question may not have been directed at me but I would like to share an experience.

I am an Eckist by birth (a member of Eckankar), my religion has reincarnation as one of its core beliefs, so I was made to believe it.

I was made to believe it was a real phenomenon, when my younger sibling was born, my father said he acted like my grandfather and also looked a lot like him this was over 25 years ago, and he still exhibits the behavior my grandfather had in his lifetime.

Even though I may have lost faith in God, and religion due to my human experiences an inner part of me believes that some things are out of the ordinary (like reincarnation).

This is always a dicey situation when I try to think of it most times. I have seen life leave people right before me, and I have also had my life taken almost from me at different times.

I fear the family I would leave behind, and the pains they would pass through. I fear the possibility of the unknown (an afterlife, even though I don't believe it). Aside all these laid down fears, there is nothing I am scared of not even the pain that comes with death.

I have had my fill in this lifetime, I have taken the lives of men, and people who stood in the way of my objective, so I feel its normal I don't die in a peaceful way. Most of the things I have done, I regret but I have come to a realization that it can't be changed.

I have poisoned a man, so why shouldn't I feel the pain he felt too when dying after all I am not special. My religion before I left has already prepared me for death, and given me little hope of reincarnation (which I hope doesn't happen because I may suffer for the sins of my past life in the new one, I think its a karmic circle as it is called).

For my daughters' and wife's sake I hope to stay alive but working in the intelligence you don't know when you would be executed (either by the government or terrorists). I hope to quit my job soon to give my kid the life she deserves, and not be the father who stayed away because of his job. If I die I would like memory of my life in her mind to be a joyful one, and not one full of regrets.

I hope I make peace with humanity and also wish that families of my victims will forgive me.


Happy Holiday Folks.
