Leaning on Death's Door

[tsunade]

oo naman... but everybody will die eventually...

[JHP]

I'm afraid to die but i hope to face death with as much composure as i can muster. For every single one of us, it's all a question of when, where and how. I'm trying to deal with the concept of life after death by accepting the likelihood that i will go to hell for all the mistakes i've made. People ask me why i ride a big bike all the time, isn't it dangerous? I have friends who've died that way. I've had my share of close calls, touch wood. But you know what? When it's time, it's time, no matter if you're asleep in bed. Just hope it will be quick.

As the saying goes, death is an equalizer

an old man dies but so is an infant

a moron may die, but so is the genius

an ugly person dies, but so is the beauty

 

absolutely, no one may pass death.

 

but there's eternity as well.

 

Death is but an entrance for eternity

a seed must be buried first

before it can become a giant tree

so is a man, in dying he lives

 

But the question is:

where is your eternity?

 

I hope that there is only one

where all the people in the world will be

that there is joy and no more sorrow

where pain is gone and health abounds.

 

and the anguish and hatred is vanished

and the turmoil and vexation elapsed

where peace springs eternal

and love goes beyond measure.

 

Eternity is for the hopeful

and not for the hopeless

it is for those who trust

and not for those who doubted.

 

Eternity is for the humble

and not for the boastful

It is for those who truly see

the crucified Christ full of mercy.

Yes, takot akong mamatay kasi ndi pa malaki ang anak ko. He still needs me and I want to make sure that I will be there to give him the life he deserves.

 

Gusto ko rin makita na maayos ang mama at mga kapatid ko. Gusto kong makasama ng matagal na panahon ang mahal ko. Gusto ko pa syang mabigyan ng anak na babae.

 

Marami pa akong dapat gawin kaya ndi pa ako handang mamatay.

[angel_by_day]

ready. anytime.

insurance is ready, likewise, for the family.

 

 

i guess that's one "advantage" of being single - no spouse nor kid to think of.

 

 

when you encounter death and the dying daily, you get numb, to put it simply.

just the same, you get humbled. and reminded that most of the things that you worry about are oftentimes trivial and not even worth worrying about.

Dati when i was still young, pero ngayon malinaw na, pwede na anytime.

[juandelacruzband]

Ngayon, di na. Nalinawan ako na mula sa ating pagkapanganak, nagsiula na tayong mamatay. Kaya't mabutihing tapusin ang araw-araw ng walang pag-aalinlangan sa buhay.

I am more afraid to not matter at all rather than die without knowing if you were able to matter and left your mark in the world.

[SamanthaJones]

i wasn't before. in fact thoughts of suicide attempts always lingered my mind. but it changed when i had kids. now I'm afraid to die. i wanna see them grow up and have a family of their own.

[bababoom]

i dont fear death....what im scared of is the suffering

[kb824]

no, i'm not afraid to die...

 

 

...dying is the ultimate expression of FREEDOM

[El Chapo]

di ako takot. kinatatakutan ko lang magccause ng suffering death ko sa nagmamahal sakin.

[islaw2003]

If you, like i do, believe that since GOD cares even for the lowest of all creation, there is nothing to fear of death. Everything has been taken care of. No need to leave any instructions. Everything will be ultra-fine. Can your puny mind be a better minder of your loved ones than GOD?

 

Non-belief in the foregoing is the primary cause of sufferings in deathbeds. The finite brain is trying to stay alive thinking it is the master of its domain when in fact the soul is. The brain tries to activate the failing organs and leave endless instructions to the relatives all at the same time. When the supply of oxygen to the dwindles, the brain slowly extinguishes its functions, the suffering is at its zenith.

 

FRIENDS, ALWAYS bear in mind that your spirit has got your body and not the other way around. The body is just one medium the spirit has occupied in this wonderful journey called earth life experience. wink.gif

thinking that GOD is way up there waiting for me, i dont have

any reason to be afraid of dying....

Eto kwento ng near death experience

 

 

There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Life fast forwards before him.

A regular voice talks to him.

The voice asked, what does he want to do, live or die.

He asked, if he lives, will he be a vegetable and be a burden to anyone?

You will manage, the voice said.

If I die, what will happen to me? He asked

Then it will be your end. You will be peaceful and all your problems will not be yours anymore, the voice said

If I die, what will happen to my family? He asked

They will manage, life goes on, the voice said.

 

Obviously, he chose to live.
