Ever Wonder?

Have you ever wondered what it's like to die?

Weird question, I know, but I can't help but think of it every now and again. I wonder what it will be like. Will we not know what is happening to us or will we go straight to Heaven? Will we simply sleep for a but a 'moment' and then wake or be able to see what is going on with the earth? I don't know the answers, but it sure makes me curious.

To be honest, I hope I either die very soon or Christ comes back. Now don't get me wrong, I am NOT suicidal, but it sure would be nice to not have to deal with the crap of this world anymore, know what I mean?

Really, though, what is your view on death?

Me, I'm not afraid of it for starters. I mean, I don't like the thought of dying painfully (who does?), but I am not afraid of death itself. I would like to die as pain-free as possible, thank you very much, but dying....it would certainly be a relief in a LOT of ways. I would get to be with Jesus. I wouldn't have to worry about sins or grief.

Especially grief. I am looking forward to never having to feel fear or grief again.

You might wanna know where I am going with this post or perhaps wanting to know of some great insight I have discovered about this topic...well, you are going to be sorely disappointed. I don't really have a point or even wisdom to impart. I have just been thinking about death lately.

Why does the thought of my brothers, my sisters, my mother or my father dying fill me with such fear and sadness, but the thought of my own death I almost welcome? I know one wants to leave their loved ones behind to suffer, but is one supposed to be fine with their own end and maybe even looking forward to it?

*shrugs* I don't know. Maybe I am just being weird. That wouldn't be *too* shocking. *grins*

Anyway, pay no attention to little ol' me. I am being random, have no point to make and I don't see how this post is going to help anyone...but, oh well! I needed to write it anyway if only to get the thought out on paper....I suppose that habit comes with being a writer...

Novaer!
