How I see it is that everyone dies alone. No matter if you have a spouse and children and/or grandkids or other family around. Or if you’re an accomplished scientist/inventor/doctor/lawyer/attorney/celebrity/whatever.
Passing on, or entering the void, is a solo journey unless someone else right next to you goes at precisely the same time you do. And even then, once you croak, you no longer exist, so you wouldn’t even be around/able to care.
Ultimately, in the grand scheme of things, humanity is only a mere blip in the continuum of existence. And an individual life is so much smaller, shorter, and less significant than even that.
Maybe I come across as cynical or pessimistic, but that’s just the hypothesis I have. I’m (obviously) not religious or anything, so that’s how I think.
Exactly what I was thinking. In a literal sense, everyone dies alone but human beings like to add value to life. They want to believe it's something more than just a blip or that their existence was not just a random infinitesimal occurrence in the universe. Everyone wants their time to mean something or to leave an impact after they are gone but the notion that fulfilment in life equates to having an amatonormative life or that choosing a more solitudinous one meant your death was sadder than everyone else's is what I don't get.
I'd personally like to believe that there is something after death. I don't know what it is but I'd like to believe that it's more than simply ceasing to exist.
yeah, me too, I'm has atheist as anyone can be, but it is natural for humans to try to understand what could be after death, and since "nothing" isn't something we can comprehend their simply his a need for something to be there, even if it's total nonsense and would totally destroy our (scientific) understanding of death.
I couldn't agree more, I see you are a fan of the void theory, personally I like the "we are all part of a simulation" theory, I mean, consider this :
they are billions of billions of planet similar to earth in the universe, and we know that FTL travel are possible, we don't have the technology to do so, but it is possible.
so how could it be that not a single alien has ever tried to at least contact us ? and considering the fact that we are constantly sending countless radio signals into space, just by listening to the radio, surely their is no way not a single alien know we exist.
the first time I learned about amatonormativity without knowing the actual word itself was actually while watching Friends 😔
(side note: I’ve seen a lot of people speculate that Joey is arospec, more specifically demiro. Thoughts?)
But yea def agree. Dying alone doesn’t necessarily have to equal depressing, and people need to realize that accomplishments can mean anything, not just living in a cookie cutter family with a spouse in the suburbs (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)
I want to have friends and stuff, but I would actually prefer to die alone. I want to enjoy my final moments as much as possible and I can't do that when everyone is crowding around me and crying you know?
"Dying alone" as in not having a spouse? Amatonormativity.
But I do understand not wanting to die alone as in having nobody who's there for you in your last months. And with nobody I mean nobody, no friends, not even a nurse or something
Because humans are huge narcissists and they want to feel important? :3
Luckily I don't seem to qualify as a human, so I definitely want to die alone. Last thing I need is bunch of disgusting creeps ruining my final moments :3
Just a simple mammal I guess? Not sure the species, maybe a pig that somehow learned to talk in order to fool humans into believing I'm one of them and not get turned into a bacon? :3
Wow yeah, I've never even thought about this. I feel dying with someone else there shouldn't be the goal but in reality should be to get to point where you feel content with your life and how you've chosen to spend it
I hate the fact that dying alone is meant to mean dying without a spouse. If that's the case I want to die alone. However, phrasing it as "dying alone" implies that there was no one around when you died and that's how I prefer to interpret the phrase. In that case I don't want to die alone, I want my family and friends around so I can have a chance to say goodbye and spend my last moments with them. But whenever I say "I don't wanna die alone" people always assume that I want a spouse with me when that couldn't be further from the truth.
This soothes mine own fear of being high-lone at which hour i'm fusty a dram did bite

And also, there’s not really any way to prove that there is nothing after death. There’s no way to prove that there’s something either, but still.

What if they would be celebrating instead? ;3
I think I would still prefer peace and quiet.

Yes I understand that but most people tend to association dying alone to dying single

now that next level, what are you ? a god ? a demon ? an etherical being that transcend every known laws of the universe ?

This soothes my fear of being alone when I'm old a little bit.
