You're going to die.

This is quite an unusual video. Some might find it disturbing - I'd be interested in the extent to which it reflects people's views.

cordially,

It could have done with the music from that Baz Lhurman song "sunscreen" in the background

Apart from that, it's a pretty good video. A little bit heavy handed maybe, but I suppose that is just the poster trying to drive their point home which is fair enough given the subject.

I agree with the views of the person who made the video on pretty much every point

Pff.

If you don't assign such importance to the present (whatever that is), and regard each moment in time equally, then people are immortal and unchanging.

At least it ends on a kinda positive note!

Reminded me of a William Shatner/Ben Folds 'song'.
(from the brilliant album "Has Been" btw)

Death... It's not the end of the world!

Good video.

The voice is kind of annoying.

Saying that everybody's going to die is not the deepest thing I've heard today. But taking five minutes to say it is unforgivable!

Is this really worth watching? My intardnet is poor at the mo so I have to ration my youtubing.

I'll sum it up for you:
You're going to die, so love life.

It doesn't really. It could, very well, be right, and in fact I think it's a pretty reasonable view, but to me, it's "You will die, after that eh, no idea. I'd put money on there being nothing after death but I'm not and probably never will be certain about that".

I think if I had to listen to that guys voice for longer than the five minutes I'd head straight for the tide.

I quite liked his voice. The occasional rustle of paper and wet lips smacking is less cool though.

Great video! Really hammers the point home. Yes, we are going to die, and there's nothing we can do about it. If everyone could accept this simple truth, the world would be a far better place.
