I agree that we are all ignorant on what it is like to be dead. However, we are not ignorant on what it is like to be alive. So I'm making the choice to embrace what it is like to be alive and fight to keep that instead of passively accepting a permanent end to my conscious and whatever else might come with that. I think we both view the same question from a very different perspective.
i agree with your whole statement except for ^^^ that... that part is an assumption. i also agree with making the most of this existence. i don't agree with any assumption that this existence is better than the next; we all may laugh at our feeble attempts to hang onto "this" like its the best thing ever & find the "next" makes "this" look like a shithole.
i may be wrong on that, i frequently am. but i find its a more useful framework to live by than being afraid all the time that "this" may end.
I knew a guy who died in his sleep from sleep apnea at 33 years old...went to his wedding a couple months before and couldn't believe you could die from it (or that he did).
Another guy I was friend's with died from drinking whiskey and taking soma pills.

fuck, 33 years is a age that i see often of death in sleep.
32 ivan turina
34 kriss kross (died of speedball cocaine in sleep)
...
i'm developing fear of this, i just have to calm myself or go out of computer. I read other threads on wickedfire and read that thinking about death is the easiest and fastest way to get depressed, that's what the fucking i do now. What is the point in working so hard after all knowing that there is an end...

Yeah you're right man, there really isn't a point really other than to survive and try to be as free as possible while we're here. Death is a fear of mine too, best thing to do is just stay occupied. You might want to check out Jiddu Krishnamurti he's a philosopher that can help put things into perspective for yourself. Here's a video of him talking about death

No assumptions. A certainty in these matters can be attained, but only by dying.
I recently read that heart attacks increase (primarily on the Monday) immediately following 'Daylight Saving Time' in the Spring.
Not mentioned in articles I've seen, and my personal guess for some of these cases, is that victims have a preexisting heart condition and experience the heart attack after suddenly being woken up by a loud alarm clock an hour before their 'internal clock' / 'Circadian clock' is expecting to hear it go off.
This is likely most often the case when the person has an alarm that immediately sounds very loudly - like those old time alarm clocks with the bells on top.
So for people predisposed to this possibility, it could likely be alleviated by using a digital alarm (ie. on a mobile phone) that starts quietly and very gradually increases in volume.
Heart attacks rise following daylight saving time
My 2 cents.

I will never die,
I just bought 1 million seo links and will live on google for the rest of my life.

Yes, absolutely.
One clarification I would make, is that a "heart attack" is a blockage that restricts the flow of blood and eventually cases the heart to go into an arrhythmia.
What happens in these cases where a loud noise triggers the event, is that these are almost always cases of not a blockage, but an electrical problem with the heart that causes the arrhythmia.
Not sure...carry around a card...and googled model number...and didn't really come up... Looking again ...maybe "fortify" ...lol that sounds like a shitty brand...according to my checkup a should last like 7 years.
Got it in July of 2011
Wow, you should really learn all you can about your ICD, as it's designed to help keep you alive. :thumbsup:
Sounds like you have a St. Jude Medical ICD, they make one called Fortify.
