Why would I not be able to die?

No one seems to have done it YET.
How do u figure to be the first ?

When your meat suit molts off,
it will be important to your comfort
to be in a good state-of-mind; that can have after-effects.

Let me be the first to admit, "I regret everything!"

While some people are women born in male bodies, I'm a neorotic Jew born into a Methodist family. I should have had Woody Allen for my father. Rolling Eyes

How did that happen, Your Majesty ?

I prefer the Walt Disney interpretation:
"...Fate is kind. It gives to those who love
the sweet fulfillment of
their secret longing. . . .

If your heart is in your dream,
no request is too extreme,
when u wish upon a star,
as dreamers do."

That 's quoted from memory;
I hope I got it right.

@OmSigDAVID,

You're not making any sense.

Are you thinking in terms of some afterlife in which the soul will find eternal rest? I am talking about the fact that one day the creature I identify with will end, and my body will change into other things and there will no longer be a focus point of consciousness known by some as Cyracuz.

@Cyracuz,

I think, it is present.

If you think about it, we can all muster up thoughts of what we would have done better, assuming that we are about to be no longer on this Earth. But, in passing, there are no regrets, we are "gone" as our bodies goes but our soul should be a peace..

Then again OSD, whilst you have friends that have experienced, out of body experiences on their "death bed" and they feel nothing but peace, then what of the tales of "ghosts" walking this Earth, angry or lost, or refusing to let go?

There could be regrets there.

Nothing is ever black and white.

Have you ever, had people find you after years of not speaking to them, so that they can say "sorry" only to never hear from them again? I have, three times in my lifetime.. That has to be a regret, in order to go to such an extreme to locate me...

@FOUND SOUL,

I've never met a ghost, so I don't know if they are real in that sense. A ghost, to me, is something that has influence in your life long after it has parted ways with you. Trauma that can resurface long after it's cause, or feelings of love long after a relationship has ended. In some way, these give life it's value. I don't want to be free of them. I want to be reconciled to them.

I am sure that everyone has a list of regrets - individual to them as life itself and it's only natural that you'd miss your friends when laying there alone on your death bed, but let's face it: chances are that your friends are either already dead or barely hanging on to it themselves - provided you're not dying at a young age.

If I haven't kept up with a friendship in 20 years, I sure as hell won't miss them on my last day of living. I don't think I will have any regrets when my life is ending, I don't really have any now either, but I probably would have liked to do more, be more daring and adventurous. Then again, maybe not!

@Cyracuz,

People that are out of your lives become ghosts, you no longer see them..They are like a "ghost" to you. Do you really want to reconcile with them? I believe life is filled with lessons to be learnt.. If someone exits our life then it's for a reason. Lesson learnt.

People are in our lives for a moment, a season, or a lifetime.

"Souls" then, not ghosts Smile

Is a strange one... Out of body experiences have happened, do happen to living souls... So if your body is dead? I can not see why that out of experience can not still live on, giving when it occurs you are asleep, as far as your body goes.

I don't think we should have regrets. If we hurt someone, I see nothing wrong with making "peace" apart from that, we can not get it all right, work it all out, before we pass.. I hope we do get the chance to come back ie) re-incarnation... Then we get that second chance...

According to the nurse, many do.

It's not really about what we did to others, it's more about how we shorted ourselves. There's a subtle difference.

I don 't know about how much "rest" u 'll get,
but it is a CONTINUOUS LIFE, including this incarnate adventure,
and a beforelife of immeasurable length.
U appear to be confusing your existence
with your outer covering: your meat suit.
U will molt it off in time, like a lobster; it is deciduous.
The same as with lobsters, that molting will have no effect
upon your LIFE, your mind, your existence.
Its not a big deal.

NOT the whole creature, only his outer covering.
Like a snake: he sheds his skin occasionally.
Its not that big of a deal; it does not affect his existence.

David, the discussion about what awaits after the "meat suit" comes off is big, long and unknown. I prefer not to speculate.

Not necessarily. But we weren't discussing what happens after death.

Which emotion I experience at any given time isn't entirely under my control.
I cannot decide not to feel anger sometimes, for instance, though I can decide to act on it or not.

Even ordinary stage actors can do THAT, Cyracuz.
Y make such a big deal about it??

For well over 6 weeks, Indians (the ones in India)
have been shoving large pins thru their arms,
( back n forth, & forth n back )
their mouths, and other body parts with little or no bleeding
and not getting excited about it,
but U cannot even control your emotions????????????

What does that say about U ?????

I agree with all of this.

In the article, it says a common regret is not being true to one's self. Not expressing how you really feel or believe.

This is why I think one of the worst things one can be is politically correct when it means watering down your feelings so much it's meaningless.

I want to hear the truth from others, and be able to express it as well.

If a car driving past you suddenly loses control and skids towards you, would you not feel fear at that moment? If a madman started shooting random people around you in a public place, would you not feel fear?

Controlling one's emotions is not about eliminating them.

I would regret not being able to keep my pride where it belonged: inside my pants.
