WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE…

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE

Dying is a very messy affair. People that have suffered cardiac death but have been brought back to life have said they were aware of what was going on around them. Others have talked about walking towards a light in a near death experience. You can be brought back from clinical death, but you only have a grace period of about 4-6 minutes. But let’s say you get to the light and pass through; this is what we call biological death – game over, the final whistle, dead as a dodo. This is where it gets kind of undignified, but what do you care, you’re dead. Once you’re definitely no longer with us, your muscles relax and this means your sphincter will too, meaning that triple Whopper and large fires you had for lunch will spill out of you – the gas you have in you may also leak out and cause a stink. The same goes for the pee you’ve got in your bladder, so dying not surprisingly is a bit of a messy affair. And men, you might even ejaculate. As for women, after you die, depending on how pregnant you are at the time, childbirth may happen - called “coffin birth”. It doesn’t happen often though. Instead of pushing, it’s the gases in the abdomen that squeeze the newborn into the world. As the body gets rid of what is trapped inside noises may be emitted from your mouth as air escapes from those close by; nurses and people working close to dead bodies regularly report hearing very alive sounding moans and groans coming from deceased bodies most commonly when they are lying on their stomachs If you're still alive when all this happens there's still a chance that medical help could reach you before rigor mortis sets in which would result in rigid muscular contortions followed by an erection if deceased upon being placed on their back Likelihood of Dying

The decision to end one's life depends largely on personality.Some people report that their near-death experience was beautiful, while others say it was just black emptiness. The rate of decomposition depends on all manner of factors.Cells break down without blood flow and this leads to bacteria growth, and that’s why you start to decompose.You may look like your hair or your nails have grown, but that isn’t the case.

What is happening is that your skin is receding, giving the impression of growth??

The skin will loosen, too, and blisters will appear on the body.The next stage is putrefaction, when bacteria and microorganisms start feasting on you.You’ll soon start to stink as bad as anything you could have imagined while you were alive.

One person described the smell as: “Rotten eggs, feces, and a used toilet left out for a month x 1000.It is unholy.”

Soon everything that is soft becomes liquefied, with things like bones, cartilage and hair remaining strong.

You’re already well on your way to decomposing by the time you are being put in the ground.

But if embalmed and buried, decomposition could be a slow process.

Left above ground, you’ll be a liquefied mess within about a month, feasted on by insects,maggots, plants, and animals.

Underground, some experts say it might take 8-12 years before you are reduced to nothing but a skeleton.

After around 50 years, even your bones will become part of the Earth.We should add the rate of decomposition depends on all manner of factors, too many to list here.

But we think you get the picture.

While some people report that their near-death experience was a scene to behold, that’s not always the case.One person writing on Reddit said his experience was as follows: “It was just black emptiness.

No thoughts, no consciousness, nothing.”

French philosopher Rene Descartes (Renee Day-cart) believed the soul was separate from the body,as many religions will tell you, and perhaps when we die something lingers on.

Friedrich Nietzsche talked about the concept of eternal recurrence, or eternal return,

meaning all existence or energy in the universe has forever and will forever keep repeating itself ad infinitum.

You live the same life, again and again, forever.

Now doesn’t that make you want to live well?

Here we could make similarities to the Buddhist belief of the “Wheel of Samsara”, wherein all souls, lives, will begin a cycle again after death, except not the same exact life.

Something we call reincarnation, which some people say is connected to what we sometimes call de ja vu.Buddhists believe we can end this vicious cycle if we can become truly enlightened, therefore achieving nirvana.

Or do we make our way to heaven after our bodies stop working, tipping our cap to St.Peter at the Pearly Gates, hoping he won’t deny us entrance for stealing that candy bar when we went on a school trip to Niagara Falls?

Will we be taken into paradise, a place replete with excellent foods and gorgeous maidens that make your dead knees go weak?

Or will we simply seed the Earth, our souls nothing more than a worldly fancy that took our minds off our cosmic insignificance and the feeling of futility that we sometimes experience here on tera-firma?

That’s something we can’t tell you, but we would love to know what you think.
