    Feel free to add to the pros to life or death vs one another.

    Some pros about death:

    In death you need not any job, any car, any mate, any friend, or any home.

    In death you dont have to live out a jail sentence.

    In death you dont have to feel the cold in the winter time.

    In death you dont have anyone on your back about anything.

    In death you're not tortured by anything or anybody.

    In death you dont have to worry ever.

    Sounds nicer to me. Next best thing is to have never been born at all. :) Life is over rated. You'd scream for someone to please kill you if you were struck with a whole lot of severe pain that wouldnt stop.

    I guess if your life was total hell, then being dead might be appealing

    usually though, that's not the only option. often there are ways to fix problems and to feel better that you may not have thought of

    anyone thinking of checking out ahead of schedule might want to check out

    Death is simply the end of life. Death can't be better than life because it is part of life.

    It sounds more to me like you're merely referring to the lack of existence, in which case you spent an eternity before you were ever born not existing.

    Yeah, death sounds pretty sweet because life seems pretty bitter. One question is, why even want to get real old with what all that comes with?

    lots of old folks are pretty happy

    I think it depends on your circumstances

    Pain, suffering, happy, motivated, depressed, excited, memories

    I dont believe any of these exist in death so it can be taken as both good and bad. Turth is i don't know, or anyone else.

    But if im reincarnated into some little blue man who hunts grasshoppers with a sack of tomatoes i dont know if i want to die.

    i would love some underpinning to the death argument

    just to pad out the critical analysis somewhat

    so pray tell - could someone please direct me

    to some references that may donate what exactly it is like to be dead.

    i find this all highly fascinating.

    I think it would be a lot nicer. I mean, who actually chose to go through this?
    I'll live 'till I die, but seriously...

    Life is a blast as long as your health is good. There comes a time when death is a gift, and most who have watched their family age can attest to this. I keep working to keep the blast part going, but reconize, and have no fear of, when the gift times comes. Nature works in cycles death is just part of the cycle.

    You will die anyway. Live while you can, then you will be able to rest.
