What kind of sights/things hit you deeply?

[Genevieve]

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

TBH the fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time

You weren't dead, you didn't exist. You were never dead. A dead flower is dead because it was once alive.

When the beating continues after the person has clearly lost consciousness in one of those fight videos. Something just deeply troubling about it.

Lots of negative answers in this thread.

Personally, random unsolicited acts of kindness hit me deeply.

But to keep this negative trend going, maybe this is so only because these kind acts are rare and most people tend to only watch their own back.

It was pretty windy yesterday and me and a mate were walking along the street and noticed a bird nest on the pavement. Not far from it there were two dead chicks with their guts hanging out, probably from the impact of hitting the ground. They were fairly large chicks, about fist size, still pretty bald and featherless, but must've been fairly old to be that big. We looked up and saw where a branch had snapped, probably due to the wind, which must've been where the nest was.

I was a really sad site, which then got me thinking about the parent birds coming back from a food run to find them there. Then deeper still, all the food runs they'd been doing to get the chicks to that point and the time spent building the nest in the first place (which was maybe 50cms in diameter, so fairly large).

I've got birds at the end of the garden that have a nest and I've seen how hard the parents work to feed the chicks all day, so I think it got to me more.

The whole thing just got me thinking about the cruelty of nature sometimes and the harshness of reality with the way shit happens. It can all be going so well one minute and the next it can all come crashing down.

Hold tight parent birds, I feel for your loss

The story of "The Sea Inside" got to me. True story.. Spanish film with Jaiver Bardem about a guy who dived into the sea which was too shallow and broke his neck.. spent the rest of his life fighting for euthanasia. All he wanted, for 28 years, was to end it and he was too helpless to even do that. It must have been so hard for his family as well, obviously they don't wanna let him just die but at the same time it must be awful knowing you're forcing this helpless person to live a life they don't want.

Controversial topic but the mindset of actively fighting for the right to kill yourself for such a long time is hard to comprehend.

You hit the nail on head there.

Nah you're straight up lying to yourself here. When you were not existing before being born you obviously didn't feel or know anything but that doesn't mean that death is not something to be scared of. The thing is that now you are alive you can be aware of what will be lost if you die. If you die none of the things you enjoy, feel or think about will ever be experienced again. I'm terrified of dying because that'll be it. None of the stuff ahead of me will be there any more just an empty void. You must truly hate your life if you would be fine with it suddenly stopping and you no longer experiencing anything any more. Don't you want to experience as much as you can?

I guess this relates to something I'd identify as something that has had a massive impact on my life and that would be that I was the one who found my dad's body when he died in the night of a heart attack when I was five. I guess I've been aware since of the fact that suddenly that can be it. Out of nowhere everything could be taken from you at any time before you're ready to be finished and that when someone dies that's it. Someone important to you can be gone from existence just from moment to moment. I spent the weekend over at my gran's house recently when she was dying too and again it's weird to mark that moment where someone who was a big part of your life has gone. With her it was slower too. On the friday she was conscious and knew she was going, Saturday she was on a morphine driver and so we could say things to her but she wasn't responding and then Sunday gone. Very weird being completely aware of each stage happening to someone who was a big part of your life from awake to unconscious to a body being in the room to an empty bed just over three days.

Same, I rarely get a bit tearful when it comes to films.. even watching in subtitles it got to me. The end was deep but the bit that got me was

when they turned to him and go "why do you want to die? you seem so happy, so full of life, you're always smiling" and he goes "i have to smile otherwise i'd cry" and gives a little smile.

Agree but I think its possible to not be scared of death or at least put it off until it becomes a bit more of a reality. If you believe after death theres nothing, you're done.. its finished.. if you truly get to terms with it and believe its inevitable then it shouldn't be a fear in your day to day life. If you're older or ill then obviously dying is a rational fear. Its less being scared of death, more putting it on standby til its a more realistic time to think about it seriously. Currently I don't fear death because I don't see it as a realistic fear atm, its like I'm not afraid a bomb will go off in my building or something.. its just not a realistic enough thing for me to truly fear it. Its not to say I want to die or wouldn't fear it at some future point in my life if it became more realistic, but currently its not a rational fear for me. Which is weird cause I'm almost certain I'm going to die young

Thats horrible man

My dad found his dad when he died as well.. my dads like an emotional brick wall but I guess that shit never leaves you. I'm pretty fortunate that I've never really had to deal with that or anything that serious with death, probably why my fear of dying isn't that great. Even when my dad told me he had cancer he just walked in and said "I've got something to tell you, I've got cancer.. its Tommys birthday we're going down the pub you wanna come?" and it was a great night.. aside from my dads mates occasionally crying on me. So I never really had to deal with that, when he was in hospital I had to run his company so I was working almost all the time so again never had to deal with it.. then he came out fine so again, never had to deal with it.

Can get it on ebay quite cheap.

Yeah haha, there was quite a few bits. TBH I knew it was suppose to be depressing but I didn't expect it to hit me the way it did. I think because its just simply about him being paralysed and wanting to die you can sort of imagine yourself in his position, empathise to some extent.

Stuart A Life Backwards is another really depressing story. Watched it on Christmas day
