There is saying among us
If it is not your time to die, tt is not your time to die
If it is your time to die, it will not wait another second
There were many times in my life, I should be dead several times over
For reasons unknown, I am still breathing
The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.Yahoo !!!

Man, do I hear that! Loud and Clear! I know I've used 7 of my 9 lives already! Mostly quit tempting the devil nowadays!

SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers

i was writing my thanksgiving message last new year's even then when i was writing this certain line pertaining to 2024, suddenly a voice in my head says I will die this year. I just brush it off after that and just do my praying stuff. now from time to time i still got thought of it but this time thinking of dying somehow give me a sense of relief. im not deppress or anything but i just notice myself that i appreciate being alone these days aside from playing with my kid. i never told this to anyone to prevent them thinking im weird. has anyone undergone the same thing ive been with? Thanks
It's very intuitive to think of these intrusive thoughts as real, but the truth is they are nothing more than thoughts. Do your very best to think positively.

Koro - no but listen to it. Arrange your affairs while there is time. I had to have really really bad surgery on Nov 6. I was given a 3% chance of not making it. I arranged my affairs (will, insurance etc) and was at peace about passing if it happened.
So ominous, PNGMK!

hi all thanks for the kind words. actually im not afraid of dying. im just concern how will i die, i prefer i die during sleep so no pain.
I want to be eaten by a wild animal.
Sounds awful! I think that's up there as far as worst ways to die goes, along with drowning, being burned alive, and suffocation.

Agree. At the end of the day, if it's your time, it's your time. All the worrying just takes away from your ability to enjoy life.

One of these days you're going to wake up dead and that will be it.

"Wake up dead". Reminds me of the three stooges when they would say "wake up and go to sleep" when one of them was making too much noise at night.
