I know I won't feel it, but I can't comprehend that. The only thing I know how to comprehend is being trapped in blackness forever and ever and ever. In a way, death makes me feel claustrophobic.

I think everyone in some way feels afraid of death. It's an emptiness, a lack of knowledge, that we pour our fears and our hopes into. Different people find fear in different things, so some thoughts about the afterlife frighten some people and not others. That no more and no less than the way they are as people.

There is no proof either way. As far as we know right now, what you fear is no more likely than what someone else fears. And what you fear is no more likely than what you hope, either.

So if it brings you comfort, I think yes, feel free to focus on what you hope will happen, rather than what you fear. Death is a lack of knowledge. And there is no point driving yourself to live in fear of something you do not know will happen.

*smiles faintly* There is a quote, from a film called Strictly Ballroom. A life lived in fear is a life half-lived. Life is the important part. You don't, or shouldn't, have to spend it in fear.

It was a good comment, but you'd have been better off without the creepy little attempt at role-playing near the end.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Role-playing? What do you mean? I just thought it was an appropriate quote.

I'm pretty sure anon's talking about the *smiles faintly*

(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that kind of thing really weirds me out.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ah? I tend to write physical expressions online to give context, since people comment that it's difficult to judge mood in text without non-verbal indicators. Do people not usually do that?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
DA

No, in my experience it's pretty normal. I don't know why that anon thought it was "creepy" or role-playing. Some people use emoticons to convey tone or emotion, and some people use action-notation. It's just part of communicating in a text-based medium.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, 12 year olds do it.

It's creepy and second-hand embarrassment inducing. If you want people to take you seriously, do not fucking do it.

AYRT

I think that, in this case, it would have been more natural for you to leave out the emotional indicator.
