What do you think happens when you die?

    A lot of people will say it's like before being born or that we go upstairs to heaven with the Gods.
    But I think we are just part of cells. The earth is probably just a tiny molecule or perhaps similar to an electron. It's going around the Nucleus ( Star - "the Sun"). We could be tiny creatures living in one cell. Smaller than bed bungs (a typo here but it sounds funny :D) to put it in some sort of perspective albeit an obscure one.
    Sometimes I can't wait to die just to see what happens. Will we just cease to exist? It seems like such a waste. Will I never see people who have died again? Because that's depressing.
    I don't see why people are so quick to say there is nothing after death. We have no proof of anything either way. I remember being very small and thinking I used to see angles in the corner of my eye and I'd look in disbelief really quick but nothing. I still happens from time to time but rare.
    I'm just not sure I see the point in life if it comes to an end with everything becoming nothing. But then again why should there be a point.
    We'll probably never understand:(
    It can just be as annoying to think where did it all begin. What was before the big bang and how did these gases come about. Is there anything out of this universe I wonder. I don't think we will truly ever understand everything such as time but I just hope we do. I'd love to have all the answers.
    What do other people think?

    We lie in the ground and get eaten by insects. Lets be honest.

    Nothing, I'd think. Humans can't comprehend the idea of "nothing" - when we think of nothing we think darkness, but even darkness is something.

    What if you get cremated?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,571 ✭✭✭Aoifey!


    Even though I have no reason to believe so and in reality it is probably a ridiculous idea, I think will always believe there is some thing more after death. I have no idea what, but something.

    Read 'life between lives' research. An interesting read, no matter what you think.

    I hope it's something like Funderland.

    Experienced sluts and alcohol. I am of course being overly optimistic.
    I have no idea and try my best not to think about it.

    I'm aiming more for Disneyland, but with no queues.

    Exactly. Nothingness is impossible to comprehend. When people say that they'd prefer to die than be in pain, I find it very hard to agree. First, there are no certainties on what actually happens.

    Actually, that's a bit like Funderland.

    The same thing that happens all animals.

    Alas, not to worry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭tony007


    I hope it's something like Funderland.

    Or Westport House. On a really nice day, with your family.

    When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connnected in the great Circle of Life. -Mufasa

    Most likely nothing. I remember falling in work a few years ago and being knocked unconcious and if it's anything like that then there is really nothing to be afraid of. Thinking about it is probably worse than the actuality.


    Ideally I would like to think that we are on a constant loop and just get to do it over again.

    I don't really care where I go as long as it's not being re-born on Earth again. One lifetime is enough thank you.

    Like respawning. That would be great. You could correct your mistakes then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,032 ✭✭✭Jimbob 83


    Im not very religious tbh as in the mainpart i just see it as a leash used to control the masses but it brings people peace and comfort so what's the harm.

    But i honestly think it's just nothingness, although i have the most vivid memories of before i was born wondering what life would be like and these never really faded with time, i remember telling my mam when i was like 2 and being told i was only making it up.

    So the question begs how did i even know to wonder what it was like if i was just an unborn child, puzzling indeed, but even if it's just nothingness what is there to fear if all that went before me went into the darkness unafraid then i am happy to also :)

    I hope its a good feeling, I've a college friend who's a surgeon in the mater, he tells me his near death patients are often unhappy to be brought back from the brink.. Hopefully that's a good sign.

    Because it's called getting opinions?

    Nothing happens, I expect. We won't be aware of anything. If we're lucky, we live on for a while in the minds of our loved ones (and maybe even society as a whole if we've contributed something great).

    When you die, you die ... you end, you cease to exist!

    I really don't see what's so great about believing that there's more after death.

    It's like a false comfort. It's a way of allowing yourself to let the present slip away, because after all, you're going to be here, in some form, for "eternity". :rolleyes:

    You're not, though. You only have one life, the here and the now. Any of us could be gone tomorrow. So you should just make the most of each day and of each minute that you have, instead of assuming that you have an eternity of days and minutes stretching out ahead of you!

    Our brain shuts down, simple. And what is life without our brain functioning? We can't think, we can't feel, we can't walk, we can't talk. That's what happens.

    And don't give me none of that soul crap either.

    Seems to be a lot of 'probably nothing' posts, I don't get how people are so quick to say this when our prespective on all this is very very very limited.
