Sorry if I'm being too morbid for a Monday afternoon but do any of my fellow bouncers wonder what death is like and have thoughts of what happens when you pass. I have no idea what to think is there an afterlife or is that it. Only thing I do know is its gotta be better than this shit.

No way Polbeth!

No matter how bad this shit is it won't last forever.

I know it's difficult to imagine now but I've been through some really hard times when I had to get help. Thank fuck I did because where I am now is fecking brilliant, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for anything.
 
I'm fairly convinced this is your lot and that's that when you die. I quite like the idea of my remains being used for something though, maybe get sprinkled into a pot with a few seeds so I can "come back" as a tree.

Been bad shit as far back as I can remember bud been telling myself for the last 5-10 years it gets better and stuff just keeps going to shit.

Just realised how this reads this isn't like a cry for help thing this is just a general wondering thing.

I have the same sort of idea just slightly different. You ever seen the movie how high?
 
I think theres nothing after this. Just like going to a dreamless sleep.

So you gotta try and enjoy it as much as possible.

Always quite liked the idea of my ashes being chucked off a mountain or something when im gone. Would rather fire gets me than Bugs and decay.
 
I just hope I have no regrets when I go.

Polbeth, a John Lennon quote for you

"Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."



Personally I think death will be exactly the same experience as before I was born.
 
I've been deid for 10 years now, its no biggy:coffee:

And then someone can chop the tree down and turn it in to pencils in your memory 2HB :wink:
 
I think death is the end. One big long sleep.
I hope you find some happiness soon Polbeth. This is your only shot at life here, and without a doubt there are some trials and sadness along the way, but there is much joy out there , if you let it in.

My best friend died in November. He was only 50 and was a fit ,active guy, who did for sure enjoy a night out. Watch what you wish for, because I would trade every penny I have for just one more night on the beer with him.
Life is precious, death is final.
 
Well, I suppose I've been closer than most. When yer ticker doesn't beat for half an hour then that is about as dead as it gets until the time comes when it stops for good.
For what it's worth there is nothing there.
Zilch, zero, nowt. No white light at the end of the long tunnel. No one telling you its not your time, so bugger off . No life story flashing by.
Sorry folks, but that is how it appears to be.
Best hang around for as long as you can.However screwed up this planet gets!!!!

And there's a tea break you won't get back L. Fukking cooncil eh :banger:

My mate Chris had oesophageal cancer and had a 7 hour op during which he apparently 'died' three times so I asked him about it and he said much the same as you bonny lad. Nowt happened when he was deid and nowt will happen when anyone else dies either. Bright lights and ****s telling you to go back etc are for the movies.
 
To quote the great and legendary Patrick Hernandez, we were all "Born to be Alive".

And that sums it up for me!
 
I liked the idea that,I think it was [MENTION=8059]Stirlinghibee[/MENTION] came out with a while back. I think it was something like, 'We are the product of at least 5 supernovae to where each of us is today. When we literally turn to dust we still exist but in another form because matter is constant. It's only really our conciousness that ceases.'
It was something like that anyway.

We are all stardust :Sparkle_Cool:
 
Yes, I do believe there is something beyond death but it is beyond all human understanding or comprehension.

One of my ex's dragged me to one every week for the few months we were together. Couldn't decide if I believed it or not. A lot of the stuff was far too vague.

I'm not into psychobabble but read the chimp paradox.

As regards death, well I think that's it, no romantic notions, you live on in other people's memories or in whatever you've done that is tangible and people can see. But you will nae see it so maybe it's best not to think about it
 
Polbeth. I don't think there's anything afterwards. You get one shot at life and as long as you learn from your mistakes it gets better, trust me.

Some might mock you for believing in spirits and stuff.
Not me.

I had terrible problems with my house being infested with ghosts. Furniture flying about, walls shaking, blood out the water supply the whole works. Had to get the local spiritualists out to carry out an exorcism. That was fine until they gave me a whopping bill for doing it!
I couldnt pay because I was in a poor state financially.


My house ended up being repossessed.
 
I remember watching a documentary a few years ago where the presenter pointed out that the chances of each of us who are alive at this present time are only here by the millions to one shot that we were the single spermatozoa from our father that impregnated our respective mothers' eggs! Go back a generation, it's your mother and father, back another generation, their mothers and fathers and so on and so on! Basically, we've all won the lottery! It's far easier NOT to have EVER existed or lived than it is to actually be here now! And on top of that - we're all Hibees! Glory, Glory! :yas:

Too vague? Please explain?

"Your Grandmother had trouble with her legs."
"There's a birthday coming up soon." (Or just gone.)

"Has someone been having trouble with a car?""
"He had a lot of trouble with his back didn't he?"

That sorta thing. Or "I'm getting the name John" Silence. "I'm gettin the letter J" someone "My granny was called Julie" "Yes that's it Julie, she really loved you didn't she." all examples as this was 5-6 years ago so can't remember exactly.

I'm not sure if it's what you're alluding to or not, but those words instantly made me think of the "Big Bang" film at the museum. My daughter watches at least twice every time we go!

My mrs family have a boozer and they had some spiritualist in one night so we sat with her for a laugh. As you say, loads of really vague stuff that could have been interpreted by most folk to mean something. Best bit was when she said; "you both want kids, but it's not going to be happening anytime soon".

My mrs was 4 months pregnant and starting to show!

In saying that, I've had a few paranormal experiences in my life so who knows!

That's almost the script from the episode of Phoenix Nights with the psychic. He ends up causing a riot when he calls some guy a nonce.:rollfloor
 
Not that I'm suggesting this is where your mind's at Polbeth but, I was listening to an excellent podcast about suicide on Monday night. It's a podcast called Philosophy Bites, each episode is only 15-20 mins long (this one is 18 mins) so, very easy to fit into your day.

Each podcast they have an expert on and question them with generally simple questions and prompt them through their learned logic.

There was a great bit where the expert had started off talking about Camus (the playwrite/philosopher), that Camus' main question and a question he believed needed answering before anyone could attempt any philosophy; suicide and is there actually any reason to live? We live in a godless world [I know some will dispute that but, that was his premise], therefore no reason to prevent oneself from ending it, life is absurd and meaningless, pain, sadness, violence. But, ultimately, he came to the conclusion that life does have meaning in the absurdity, art, children, love, nature. All these things are enough, should be enough for anyone.

And, my own viewpoint is; sometimes we can see the beauty and sometimes we cant. But, it's always there, whether we care or not.
 
Always worth checking out Richard Dawkins on youtube. A scientific view of just how special and lucky we are. I saw one last week where he commented on how the whole human race is spinning about on what is in relative terms a spec of dust in an infinite universe. Maybe it's just me but science makes our existence so much more special than religion.

I hope things get better for you.
 
When you die that's it I'm afraid. Nothing more happens and you dont even get to experience the nothingness.

As for spiritualism its just mumbo jumbo. Like reiki or homeopathy it's not real, just a way for unscrupulous knobends to part idiots and the vulnerable from their cash.
