Don't Fear the Reaper

[sunstruck]

So the Blue Oyster Cult demands, but do you? Are you afraid of death? Accepting? Indifferent?

 

[Nora]

I dunno, but now I have the song stuck in my head and visions of the movie version of The Stand running through my brain.


Do I fear it? I don't know. It's not imminent. Do I go looking for it? Hell no. I'm rather partial to the alternative.

Do you have a soft white underbelly?

 

[Cozen.rm]

Other than the possibility of a long painful approach to it, nothing to fear.

I'm Irish. All our bellies are white.

Have you never thought about it?

 

[MidnightsANGEL]

Doesnt everyone for some reason?

I dont fear dying but...I fear what life will be like for those I leave behind...will my children and husband be OK? Will it put them in financial dire straits? Will they work through it and come out happy at some point? Thats what I fear concerning DEATH...

But now I, too, am seeing scenes from "The Stand"...and have the song in my head...but thats OK..it's a good one...

 

[acitore_vuli]

Any song with a cowbell is ok in my book.

 

[Killswitch]

And on a pale white horse he appeared.....and his name was Death.

Beyond what's necessary for writing up my will, not really. At least not since I was an angst-filled teenager. The way I figure it, life's for the living. It'll happen when it happens, and all you can do is really prepare as much for the eventuality as possible. I'll find out what happens afterwards when I get there. My best guess is absolutely nothing.

God, how true is that?


And to the topic, I have thought about it a bit more lately than usual, but for the most part, I'm much like Nora in my thinking.

I suppose most people probably do. I guess that falls under indifferent.

 

[MechaBlade]

Welcoming, even.

The best scene in TV movie history!

 

[Calamity Jane]

I don't fear it.

I know that my kids would get through it because I do everything I can to ensure that they're strong, and that their world is secure. It's all I can do in this life.

 

[Hillbilly_Honey]

Yes I fear it, for myself and as others have said, for those I will leave behind.

 

[Cozen.rm]

You can beat Death at Twister and Battleship, and a couple other games, too.

While I agree with most of what Nora posted...I believe that afterwards will be something quite interesting. My own personal views and beliefs come into play here as to "the beyond". I'm not afraid at all.

Oh, fucky...that scene in The Stand is great use of the song!

I'm not afraid of death, been there, done that!

 

[Nora]

And Laura SanGiacomo was so fucking hot in that movie...

 

[Johnny Mayberry]

And Laura SanGiacomo was so fucking hot in that movie...

she wasn't even naked, and I masturbated to her...

 

[Nora]

she wasn't even naked, and I masturbated to her...

shhhh...don't tell. I did too.

 

[Guest]

I love that song

 

[Guest]

why fear something that is going to eventually happen?

 

[k_girl23]

I don't fear death itself, it is inevitable for everyone. I fear the circumstances surrounding the death, will it be long and painful or happen fast. How will those I leave behind react and will they realise I want them to be happy and go on with their lives. I hope they remember me as I am, with both the good and bad and don't put me up on a pedestal.
