The everyday grind and distractions really make you forget the fundamental tragic nature of life. Someone in my wife’s residency program died today from cancer. She was a really cheerful girl that desperately wanted to be a mom and have children that got ovarian cancer. She was heartbroken about never having kids, but was documenting her treatment on Instagram and hopeful of recovery and adopting kids. She wakes up from surgery and was told the cyst ruptured during the operation and cancer has now spread throughout her body. As a doctor, she knew this meant a relatively quick and certain death. Her elderly parents lived just long enough to watch their daughter suffer through the experience and die. Jesus, what a nightmare.

How do you view death? I was terrified of dying when I was a kid, but rarely think of it now. The stoics were on to something when they spoke of the importance of remembering your mortality and letting that affect the way you live. It is amazing how much you can get wrapped up in useless time sucks and status competitions without thinking.

it's the last unique interesting thing that will happen to you.

ty brother.

my wife is terrified of death. i do talk about it with some frequency. if you pray the rosary you confront death every day in some way. every catholic prayer references your death. get to know him. he already knows you.

I hope to be able to do that as well. It is interesting how many great thinkers, like Von Neumann, couldn't handle their own mortality. His deathbed conversion to Catholicism was really interesting. Almost everyone goes out scared and alone.

deathbed conversions are always a good thing. however, people who hedge bets on it really don't get how hard being fully sorry for one's sins actually is. being repentant due to fear of the lord is only half way there. most die never actually feeling sorry for their wrongs. or, more specifically, not even really knowing how to discern right from wrong.

It's odd to think how much more people in the past had to deal with death. You'd lose a couple kids for example.

Seriously, it is difficult to even relate to their experiences. Imagine someone who lived in the U.S. during the Civil War era. If you and many people you know didn't die during the War, you almost certainly lost numerous children and relatives to disease.

it's weird. i faced a ton of death when i was younger and then people kinda stop dying around me in my adulthood...just like the timing of it. i lost a daughter to miscarriage and i mourned her. but that's different.

life is really about preparing for your death.

I completely agree. I find it interesting that we dedicate an incredible amount of time, money, and energy educating kids and developing them as athletes, but almost none of this effort is directed on moral education or philosophy. Moral education was the main point of education throughout most of history.

I have always found that to be a dumb and unconvincing argument. There is a BIG difference between the two. CR on likely being terrified.

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/15/books/review/Holt-t.html

The third argument, that your posthumous nonexistence is no more to be feared than your prenatal nonexistence, also fails. As Nagel observed, there is an important asymmetry between the two abysses that temporally flank your life. The time after you die is time of which your death deprives you. You might have lived longer. But you could not possibly have existed in the time before your birth. Had you been conceived earlier than you actually were, you would have had a different genetic identity. In other words, you would not be you.

Yeah but "you" being "you" is sentimental flame because "you" could have been something else great or shitty. You're going to die, maybe something happens after, maybe something happened before. You can't control it.

You have to grind ITE, GC won't allow much else.

This seems very neurotic and at odds with your catholic zen. I want to do my best for my kid but if I were to die I am confident he would persevere and his genes and other strong support in life would provide. We could all get hit by a bus tomorrow, so there is no use fretting about it.

i don't want to get too deep into it but let's say my particular situation requires that i maximize my income. i dont personally care about money at all. i wear costco jeans and t-shirts with holes in them. however, god has given me something that i have to handle for the rest of my life which requires resources. i kinda have to leave it at that. trust me, i'm not worried about it per se. but i fully assume i will never be able to retire and i am okay with that. i ask god to let my carry my cross with some grace is all.

I am not afraid of death in theory. I feel I have experienced enough and there isn’t really anything else I want to do or fix other than watch my kids grow up.

That means, however, that I am very afraid of dying before my kids become adults and particularly when they are very young. Perhaps the only thing that scares me more than that is the thought of them dying before me.

My attitude towards death recently changed after an abrupt loss of a parent due to cancer. I used to just never think about it, but now I know there is a pretty high likelihood I could get cancer and just die too.

Sounds cliche but I just don’t give a fuck about small things re social interactions or business stuff. Also Began taking a more paternal role in the family at age 31. Values just change, at least for me. Scheduled a vacation in August and one in November. If they don’t like it, fire me and I’ll cop unemployment while chillin on an island somewhere

Parenting definitely changes your perspective on death. Beyond leaving my child, It makes me sad to know I will never find out how it all turns out. Does the singularity happen in 50 years or 5,000 years? What does human civilization look like in a million years? Do we even exist in a recognizable form? I wish I could be frozen upon death and brought back to life in the far future so I could read the history of the last million years or whatever.

"Any man can be trampled down by superior force, and death, in whatever shape it comes, is only death, which comes to all."

When I was like 20 or 22 I thought the most noble death would be to die in battle like the ancients. Now I would prefer to die in bed at a ripe old age surrounded by family and memories of a life well-lived. If battle comes I will take that, though.

I am not a religious man but I will gird myself and take on whatever comes with acceptance. We must strive for life and enjoy it but not have fear when our moment comes.

I think about it everyday; it compels my every move, every decision and my general attitude from sun up to sun down.

i am terrified of it and dwell on it at times, often when i am drifting off to sleep. if i were religious, i imagine it would be easier for me to handle, but i'm not.

i am currently cycling between being terrified of it and desperately hoping that long-shot transhumanist medical efforts at immortality pan out in the next 30-40 years, and thinking it will be a relief when it happens because of how much bullshit and disappointment life involves. i guess i hope to have made a positive difference in people's lives and to have started a family successfully when it comes, which i can only pray is enough to make me satisfied with how my life went when i'm in my deathbed. also wouldn't hurt if materialist atheists got BTFO somehow, because their worldview is very depressing but their opponents are also mainly idiots who are obviously wrong.
