Posting amongst the intellects

I am posting some of my writing here b/c I feel like you folks are the ones that would take the time to read and/or critique....and possibly spark a little philosophic discussion....

Death

Death is what makes me angry. Could we surpass the danger and pain? Of course not! But we must find a way. Is there a route to undertake? The pain I have while I am awake. When I dream, I feel things I can never feel that take my soul to new levels. Sleep is a feeling that makes me feel alive.

Wake from a comfortable slumber…blink your eyes and you wonder…..is this it??? Is this what I awoke to? Possibly, but anger is a medium through which you feel your soul on fire. When you realize we are alive to die, what is there to live for? Well, live for the anger and vendetta you hold against death. That enduring pain can make a normal man crazy…Me? It makes me sane…What way do we set aside and exclude our pain? We hide from it. Tuck it away. Stash it… like a pill we hope no one finds we take. But what if they figure out what drives us? Makes us hurt and bleed love? Bleed pain? Bleed the soul ache? What if Jesus came? Why can I not feel the normal man’s walk? Why can I not skip down the happy trail of the blissful?
I have tried to be the one that everyone asks “how can I achieve that golden gem that you indulge in?” But I can’t. I have been blessed with plenty, yet my soul is empty. I do not want help…. My soul does not desire help…the grip of hell…nothing can block or negotiate.

If you cross my path and ask the lord “why?” he will look at you, then me and say “this tortured soul makes my heart dry”..why dry? “because I am out of tears, I have given up since he lost his fear.” Or is that fear hidden in an amalgam of unconsciousness?

this reads like a poem. i hate poems. And it sound less philosophical and more angsty.

I think everyone is aware of death. this the is the wrong forum.

I prefer pessimistic existential as opposed to "angsty"

I didn't read it all because it looked pretty gay after the first few lines.

My question to Christians, is when a loved one dies, shouldn't you be jealous? If you believe they are going to heaven to meet their creator, then you should be happy that their time has come and at least a little jealous that you haven't been freed from this world yet.

I mean, I suppose if they think their loved one is going to hell, then they wouldn't be completely selfish in their mourning.

As an agnostic, I mourn the death of a loved one if I feel their time has come too soon, such as the case of my friends and family that have died before their 30's or even their 20's. However, in the case of older relatives who I watched suffer for a few years battling disease or chronic illness, I did not mourn as I was happy to see them stop suffering.

Although I am often accused of having being a soul-less bastard and having no feelings, I don't think it's wrong to think of death as a good thing in some instances. It might be a little morbid, but I am alright with that.

I know not what happens after death, as no one who has died has come back to tell us.... except for Jesus of course.

We've been over this. The belief in an afterlife does not preclude us, here on earth, from feeling sorrow at the loss of a loved one going on to a better place. Have you ever had a loved one move a long way away... not die... just move across the country.. to a great new job/life etc? Did you miss them?

Shaggy... nice to see you around... was there a question you wanted discussion on in your post?

find comfort in the mysteries of life and try to limit the amount of time you spend listening to deep house..
