Death Doesn't Exist (Never Worry About It)

[Hunterskull]

This post isn't about the objective general concept of death (it obviously exists if you look at it that way), but the nonexistence of death in your life and mind.

• Death doesn't exist, because there's no senses in a dead body. Death therefore cannot be experienced.

• Your senses, and therefore body and mind too, aren't familiar with death. It cannot be sensed, therefore it also cannot be imagined. It cannot exist in the mind that way.

• Life is the only thing any living being can experience. Life is unable to know death.

• People couldn't accept this fact and therefore they made it a base for unnatural beliefs (religions).

• Religions argue that death can be sensed and experienced. And then after that you get eternal life. Something that can be experienced (life) is impossible to come after something that cannot be experienced (death).

• This still means a life is limited in duration.

So enjoy your life, because you will not die speaking in the sense of existence in the mind.

Really common knowledge I think, but I got the idea to write this after imagining what any reasonable humans emotions should be in the last days before death. Then I asked myself "Why would humans even worry about death?". And basically that motivated me to explain the topic.

So the main point here in this topic is about the ridiculousness of caring about something that is nonexistent in your mind and not to be experienced.

It's completely normal for animals to fear death.
If you don't innately fear death, that would show something is wrong with you.
Self-preservation is the sole reason for our existence.
It is also purely natural for you to mourn loved ones, whether it is a mutual hunter or family.
This is the only place where sadness should come from, death.
This is why you should never feel sadness, it's not natural.
Unless your tribe-members are frequently dying, and that would mean you're either a bad provider or protector.
This is uncommon, because these people didn't survive.

No, you shouldn't worry about your death, nor should you worry about if there is anything after death or not.
This is unnatural, this is where depression comes from.

It is even worse for you to ponder on it and come to 'the conclusion' that there is nothing after death.
You haven't 'come to terms' with the fact you will die, as you cannot, you're only human, you're only an animal.
Atheists care more about what 'comes after death' more than Christians do. Whether you accept it or not.
The atheism religion is the worst of all religions.
Religions generally celebrate life before death, all except atheism.
It's purely natural for you to want to trick yourself into believing there is a higher purpose, this is one of the best benefactors to the development of speech.

You're obsessed with death, and that's the worst obsession to have.

@Charles-Henry

True, a general message is to not worry about death and enjoy life, because you won't know death anyway.

But can you explain how atheism doesnt celebrate life before death? I don't believe in a God, I enjoy my life and I am grateful that I live.

Thinking life has a predetermined path (like religions say) isn't a requirement for celebrating life. That's why you can even celebrate life as an existentialist.

"Nothing comes after death" is not just a conclusion, it's a truth that will forever stay a truth. It is impossible to make the argument that something that can be sensed can come after something that cannot be sensed and then that being true. Something after death is impossible to exist.

[Charles Henry]

That can be an axiom, and be a foundation for your 'beliefs', but it is not a 'truth'.
Logic and truth is just nature. You cannot know what is not, just as you cannot know what is not 'sense'-able.
You have the same exact evidence as Christianity does, this is the problem with atheism.
You're already playing a losing game as your whole 'logic' comes down to proving what is not, or not provable.
The only way you can 'win', if you can even call it that, is to prove the opposing side wrong, which is impossible. As your axiomatic framework is just as founded in nature as Christianity's is. You can come to any 'conclusion' you want if the axioms of your framework are adjusted to suit it. (For example, the relevant axiom of yours is 'no life after death'.) This is a rebuttal of the axiom that there is, the foundation of your belief is that something is not. You can perform an external critique of any framework with the pre-covering axiom of your framework is that one of the other framework's axiom is untrue.
Proving a not is impossible, as there can always be.
That's what is a truth, not your belief.

It is better to not come to any 'conclusions' because to do so would be foolish.
Especially if you understand logic, aka nature.

You're not meant to ponder death, and 'coming to acceptance' is just accepting death as a fact. Why don't you go be a yogi in the mountains at this point? You're probably just as happy as they are, since you mastered the skill of 'accepting death' which is impossible. This will only cause unforeseeable consequences specifically depression.
You play this whole charade inside of your mind with yourself to come to a conclusion which took no effort to come to in the first place. All you did was age.
It doesn't matter to you.

Yes, this is why both Atheism and Christianity are unprovable. Also, when they argue, they make points about something outside space and duration. The body is unable to sense something outside space and duration of life and the brain is unable to know anything outside space and duration of life. Both a God and death (not the general act of death, just death simply meaning "no life") take place outside the duration of any living thing.

[Charles Henry]

@Hunterskull I agree, you're very sensible. No reason to worry about it, from any side.
