this thread confuses me as a whole. ive punched, kicked, battered and punctured people in attempts at life. its not bragging, it was a job. a job i had a chance to continue anywhere in the country, but didnt. call me a pu&&y, but the most terrifying part of it? not what i had to do, but the victims themselves struggling faces, and those around them begging for a chance and subsequently taking it out on me.
lots of bravado in this thread. fact is, look down at someone you care about dying, and post the actual emotion here then.
those that arent afraid of death are in denial, plain and simple. otherwise, you'd just let people go. there would be no tears or emotion, no outbursts. there would be no religion, no fountain of youth, no vampire, no zombie, no highlander stories. those devout christians crying graveside? why? because the deceased is in hell? or what?
oh, its because they miss them...well why? youre gonna die too...just like they breathed. you never cried because they took a dump, did you? does it scare you that youre still breathing?
are you somehow more poignant about anothers death than your own? please. its like how we justify someone living a long life compared to an infant dying. theyre both dead. then you hear about how the infant never had to experience this or that...the same people that will say 'oh, he lived a long life' to someone else. its all fluff we make up to make death sound better.
if i had to guess, i'd say the thread starter recently observed a death of some sort, something that made them question their own mortality. something that, frankly, scared them.
