Hate people being so casual about death

Nature is neither kind nor cruel, it is indifferent. All things must pass from this exsistance, that's just the way it works, our bodies were built with an expiration date.

Also I'd just like to point out that atheism is technically just another belief. No one really knows what happens when you die, and the ones who do can't tell us. Point being, we won't know what happens til we get there, so why worry over it?

Plus, dying is kinda cool. The brain stays alive for 6 to 12
Minutes after the body dies. That can translate to an infinite amount of dream time... Watch waking life if curious :p

I tend to get emotional over death when it comes down to young children, babies, those killed from murder or drunk driving; anything out of their control...though it's not a sad feeling, really--more of a thoughtfulness sent toward the remaining family members, a moment of silence.
I don't have remorse or any feeling when it comes down to the people who didn't think before they acted, or died from 'karmic energies.'. The way I see it, is if they were stupid enough to drink and drive and got killed In the process, that's their own stupidity. If they killed their significant other for cheating, and committed suicide after instead of doing anything to help themselves overcome their broken ego... Stuff like that is more disgusting and maybe death was headed their way anyway.

It all comes down to the individual person and their views on death and how they were raised to perceive it. I think if someone who was young and witnessed a tragic accident may feel a bit more sorrow than a person who was older and had someone they knew pass away may be a bit more inclined to take death more seriously.

Everyone will D.I.E and answer for what they have been doing here on earth........ Why do you think God created us? to worship him

I'm exactly the same, but I am a female. But the thing is you have to let go...I makes me sad too...but still. You really have to let go when you do. :(

I agree with Endigo, Death is just death, If someone else dies and if it doesn't affect me in any way I am fine with it or more like really don't care.

I don't care if someone dies if they aren't connected to me in some way. People are just people, it's gonna happen eventually to everyone

People are casual to death cause it's normal and its inevitable. But yea...I think I know what you mean though..I had a friend who I care about deeply cause he's like a little brother to me. Well anyways, his mother passed from cancer and after a week people were talking behind his back saying,"Why is he so moody all the time..I dont like it." and when I say, "well..uhm...his mother just died." and they say, "yea i know but still" I know that they wouldn't be thinking that if it were their mother. Some people are just not sensitive to others feelings. They just have no idea what a person feels untill they feel it for themselves.

I've got to be honest, people have ALWAYS been casual to death, specifically to people they don't know. And why not? Why would someone feel hurt or sad over someone they don't know and doesn't know them? Death is always going to be there, and despite the different religious views on it, it is a fact of life and you may as well accept it. Live this life well, care for those who love you, and pursue your dreams.

You are too sensitive, people die from all sorts of causes. Age, illness, homicide, suicide, it's not the happiest of topics, but it's reality. There is nothing wrong with being casual with it, what are we going to do? Cry our eyes out after reading someone died from slipping in the bathtub?

No. This has nothing to do with "TV, videogames, etc." desensitizing us. We are actually very innocent still, as we don't see true horrors like constant gang fights or war in our very eyes.

No offence but people who act casual are the ones who are hurt the most. If somone dies that i know then i feel happy for them. You shouldnt regret ones passing but embrace it. Just think, they dont have to worry about pain, suffering, etc. Thats how i look at it.

honestly you are too sensitive. death is inevitable, so why should it bother me? death is population control, if we all lived forever the world would be over populated and miserable and would just generally suck. death is necessary, its natural, and should not affect you so much. you may call me insensitive, heartless, a robot or w/e, but im just realistic, and find that whatever happens, happens, my remorse wont change owt.

You simply value life so much, all those efforts to make you life good and then boom death out of nothing and that's sad. I feel the same.

Join the Army, become a Infantry or any combat arms MOS and then we'll see if death is so casual to you.

when someone you dont know dies if the person doesnt show emotion theres a simple reason for this in our world we see so many strangers get killed every day that the efects of it have worn off of us. now if itd a family member thats another story if they dont show emotion they are most likly holding it back.

Even though it is sad when people die for some reason I really don't show no emotion waht so ever but I still think it's sad

Wow, I have almost the same feelings. I hate it when people talk about death as if they understand it, and have experienced it. Such as when people say things like "I'm gonna kill his ass!" or other stuff like that. [I also don't like it when people (as you said) act causal about it.]

death is a naturual part of the cycle if your religious then your going to a better place or an aethist like myself, you won't feel anything so it really is no big deal.

People dying is nothing, if you knew them it would feel empty without them.

Some people like me honestly don't give a flying fuck. But I'll still console people like you, I'm a nice guy at heart :-)

But death's nothing, unless they were close.. Even then if you didn't like them or were indifferent about them same thing, nothing.

its just media's effect on everyone. people SHOULD, NORMALLY care about things like that. but a lot of people are affected by the violence they see so casually on TV. you understand the difference, youre grasping the real effect. since media is RELATIVELY new, its kind of half of society is where you are; the other half feel its the same as on TV. just be proud you still have that bit of morals left (:

everybody cares when someone dies it's just human to keep it inside (though it might not be good or healthy) still that's how humans are, you shouldnt think that no one cares because in truth everyone does just before them and help them let it out

people die all the time every second probably i feel unless i knew the person or was connected in some way i have the right not to care because i dont know them and i never will i do however get upset when people die under messed up circumstances such as civillians in war or the holocaust or negligence of a company but i will not grieve for any person i do not know. i dont owe it to them and everyone has to go sometime right.

Poster, you should be named Hamlet!

People are desensitized nowadays. You have to have someone close to you die in order to feel anything over it.

i'm not causal about people dying, if it's someone i dont like i usually throw a party

to the poster. i think a few million people die every day, so if the death of strangers bothers you truly you will never be able to enjoy your life.

at any moment, there are a ton of people dying in agony. and at the moment that YOU die, one day, other people are going to be playing ball or clipping their toe nails. that's the nature of human existence.

seems like im arguing with myself here, doesnt it? well, im not going to worry about it. going to bed. later all you wacky IINers.
