ENOUGH ABOUT SEX! LET'S TALK DEATH!

You know you want to.

Why do Scorpio men always want to discuss the most morbid subjects out there?

Morbid subjects also tend to be the most fascinating!
Plus, sex and death are hardly morbid. Both essential components to life, death is unavoidable and most human beings are intrigued by it. Although we may feel guilty about it, sex and death draw us peak our interest irresistibly 🙂.
Or maybe that's just us Scorps!

What is there to possibly say about death? its inevitable.

I think as long as we accept it, it's alright to think about it. The after life has completely fascinated entire cultures throughout history, do we simply rot in the ground, mind, body, soul. Or as our bodies rot will our soul be released some place. Unfathomable questions are those which relate to life and death, what's the point of questioning things we'll never understand anyway? Who knows, but humanity has done it for millions of years.

We're just curious creatures by nature.🙂

i understand. i am curious too.. but me im jus curious about tomorrow.. or next year. Never like 20 , or 30 years from now.

I always wonder where I'll be thirty years from now, I know where I'd like to be but nothing is ever for certain. You know?
I also think the way we die can be fascinating to us, trying not to be too dark here.
Which is why people are drawn to murder mysteries, crime television shoes, and killers on trial..whether they care to admit it. So much about the human mind and how far we can be pushed is interesting, and who we become stand on the edge of death.

Awuh, thank you! Hearing that makes me glad, made my night. I've found quite a bit of insight in many of your posts as well. 🙂 Hm, I'm in California too! I hope you'll get to see your friend again someday soon, missing friends is no fun- been missing a few of mine lately as well.

" I just like to give Scorpio men rough time, for no reason, lol"
Sounds fun to me! lol.

"I am fascinated by it, ever since I saw someone actually die right in front of me. Death is a part of my daily thoughts now"
From what I've heard that's a really unique and strange experience, has it changed the way you look at death? My mother was with a woman who died of cancer literally before her eyes, she said it was a lot of trouble and intense struggle, then suddenly one quick last breath..and silent a peace, an instantaneous release. It completely flipped the way she looks at death. Instead of fearing it she looks at it now as the calm after a life long storm. Surely she thinks about it constantly, but never speaks of it.

For the virgin, sex is the death of innocence. UNLESS, she lost her innocence in a pure marriage as accorded and sanctioned
by some faiths. Then there is the death of a marriage.

There is also the death of a friendship, the death of an idea. And so on.

Then there is the second death as defined in the Bible of the Christian faith. Woe to any that die the second death which follows the first and physical death. Many fear Christianity because of the warning given to those that do not repent and
follow Christ. All are free to make that choice. Some choose not to believe altogether and will seek out another faith or
perhaps become atheists.

Inasmuch as sex is a "fact of life", so too, is Death, a fact of life.

Personally, I have noticed that "Scorpio" has been defined as being associated with "life, death and rebirth",
sometimes called "Resurrection" by some.

I find it interesting that a majority of the topics in the Scorpio forum are dominantly about sex or romantic relationships.
That is...., it's over-saturated with the subject of Sex.
But young ones, there is FAR more to a Scorpio's life than sex. Consider the varied careers, hobbies, and other interests that exist beyond the subject of sex, relationships, psychological behaviors, even death.
There's a whole world of wonders that a Scorpio man or woman might be very interested in, but if you limit your impression by means of stamping some astrologer or group of astrologers' individual or collective opinions and stereotypes of Scorpio people, you're going to miss out on a whole lot more of that individual. It's not fair to you nor to them.

In a way, it's like limiting your tastes in music because you want to fit in with a certain social group.
This typically happens to most young people entering their teen years and may stay with them for many years after that.
Some will outgrow a certain style of music just one would change a wardrobe as apparel fashion trends change. Wasteful in my opinion, but that is the price of restlessness, which seems to me, can be the product of an unhappy soul.
On the other hand, taste in music may change with time and one begins to appreciate genres they would never dream of appreciating.

Ah, I was being sarcastic. I just like to give Scorpio men rough time, for no reason, lol😉

I love to discuss death and sex, as well. I am fascinated by it, ever since I saw someone actually die right in front of me. Death is a part of my daily thoughts now.

Do I know you from somewhere—

Well, anyway.... I was going to add that the Chinese eat their dishes much more slowly to savor the flavors contained therein.
I think it is a good thing to do. We appreciate our food much more when we eat much more slowly. Of course, in the western world fast food has promoted the fast eating concept. A refined Scorpio is no different. Recognizing our mortality, I believe we may be apt to "slow down" and smell the roses and contemplate life much more thoroughly than others.
It could also be tied into our numerological aspect or perhaps if neither astrology, numerology factor in our lives, we may
do so because of the way we were raised in the way of religion and faith.

Sometimes I think Cremate me and do this or that...

Hey... maybe have my ashes mixed with clay then.... have a renowned sculptor make a work of art.
This way... some day... my remains could be sitting in a museum and someone will say....
Wow, that sure is a work of art!

@Geminicandle. Aw, that's a huge compliment to me as well. I always like to know when someone finds depth, or knowledge in one or more of my posts. I've noticed that hidden inside of Gemini humor is frequently an entirely different message- for example my uncle delivers life lessons to me in the form of a joke. It's interesting, and I like it. I laugh, but i understand completely what he means.

Ohh my goodness, well it's a lovely compliment to be compared to your friend she sounds like a wonderful person. I'd imagine Gemini would add some spice and spontaneity to the typical Capricorns life. One thing I really admire about you Gemini folk is that conversation flows so easily with you, nothing feels forced or awkward. This is why so many Gemini friends have been in my life I believe, there is just no shortage of topics to discuss. And further more, despite our differences, we agree on most subjects.
Probably because Gemini thinks deeply about things in order to come to understandings just as Scorpio does.

" I just felt "if this is death, it is beautiful". I know it sounds morbid, but I just felt such a feeling of overwhelming peace and love and quiet. Like surrender and falling into something beautiful. Such a feeling of well being and being taken care of and lifted up. The presence of different energy"

Yes, I'm sure it's a remarkable spiritual experience! We grow up always fearing death, because it is seen as "an end". We think about it as children and imagine -inevitable- pain, we imagine our future suffering and somehow all the things we love in the world closing up all at once- our souls never to return to Earth, but another foreign plane of existence. Once we grow older, we start to accept it more. And I think as adults we grasp inside that fearing death is not an option, it's just as debilitating as fearing life itself.

In my opinion, naturally occurring things in our universe just are. They exist, and therefore they're beautiful and effortless. Death is the epitome of this, it's us becoming part of a larger cycle. We are reminded everyday of our own mortality and we need to be.

I've considered this also because I simply hate to think of my body decaying slowly in the ground, it creeps me out a little bit. When my great grandfather died, my father and his brothers spread his ashes in a river deep within the forest. Whenever I think about this end, I admire it. I would want the remnants of the "physical" me to be floating down a river, and becoming debris perhaps along shore somewhere, until they fade away over time. Cremation also helps me envision my soul being released a bit more easily.
Then I think about fire and...ugh. Incineration seems so terrifying in life- but I might favor it over rotting away.

Do you think that people are scared of death more because of what they have or have not done while ALIVE? Death itself is just falling asleep. So the fear must have more to do with regrets, thoughts of imperfect living, the unknown ramifications of the afterlife, etc

I don't feel fear about leaving people but more sadness. Anyway...

I think people are afraid they'll leave this world with more left to do and say, yes. I also think they're afraid of the pain associated with the process and before death occurs. The way I see it, whatever I have done in this world before my time is up will be enough- I will have said and done just as much as I've meant to. We should learn not to regret before the time we grow old, regrets only leave us yearning to go back to the past and that's truly a waste of time.

My grandfather was a firefighter. He told me a man was dying of burns and it was so horrible that there was almost no chance of him living. Something had happened to his lungs and which would soon prevent him from being able to breathe. He asked my grandfather if he was going to die (which ended up being his last words), and my grandpa had to look him in the eyes and tell him "Yes, you're probably going to die in the next fifteen minutes." Right then and there the man accepted the pain and closed his eyes, letting it happen. (What a heavy line of work huh?) When a person is in that much pain, death is truly their savior.
Hopefully we all have the blessing of passing away in our sleep peacefully, but even in an insufferable passing death is a light at the end of the tunnel.

@meow. My grandfather was a fireman. 🙂

Isn't it fascinating that a person can will themselves to live or let go and die. My friends son had a brain tumor, stage 4 and he talked his son into fighting for his life. 3 years later that little boy is still alive. His chance at the time was 90% death. Amazing what the will can do when it is put to full use is t it?

I've always thought dying of a broken heart is fascinating. How does that work? Can a person really just mourn themselves to death?

Negative feelings can manifests physically.

Yes, our mental grievances and illnesses effect us physically I believe. I know when I'm feeling depressed, my energy and overall wellness goes down significantly. People who mourn themselves to death somewhat loose the will to live, in their mind they're dying. What goes on in our mind sends signals directly to our bodies in terms of how hard it works to function and strive for life (at least from observation anyway, I'm no doctor.) And aw, what an amazing boy! I really do believe that mental perspective plays a lot into our ability to beat illness and other life or death situations.
Of course, disease is capable of killing a person no matter how much they want to live. As long as there's that small, 10% chance of survival human beings are capable of pushing and holding onto hope until the end.

I hate thinking and talking about death.

My ex-husband seemed obsessed with death. He used to constantly review his life insurance policy, savings, etc. He would tell me that he put a little more on in case something happened to him.

Once we had our son, he would do it more and more. We stopped doing things like riding the motorcycle together. He used to say that it wasn't good to put all our eggs in one basket. He would get real tense if we took a plane together, even suggested that we take separate ones in case one went down. Business trips too- he'd tell me where he had the life insurance policy information before he left.

He's mentioned it since we have been divorced too, that he kept me as his beneficiary so I can take care of our son.

I just find it really upsetting. I don't want to think about people dying.

On whether someone can will themselves to live or give up and die. I personally don't think that happens.
I DO think that a person's positive or negative attitude can cause physical sickness or wellness to manifest
itself. However, I also think that one ought not be judged harshly for his or her negative attitude and that
one ought not be so positive that they cannot see, the reality of another's truly challenging situation.

On another front, though not particularly practiced, often, people who see the deaths of others, often, should
feel free to contribute what they have observed and what they may have learned from it with the younger generations.
Not to glamorize, nor to romanticize, as Hollywood is famous for doing, but for the purpose of education for the
benefit of the young.
For example, someone is more interested in the pastime of liquor consumption. While he may not have personally seen
the demons in the drink, he may very well inspire some young impressionable kid to take up the practice.
And one night that kid goes out and either murders or accidentally kills someone. Beer says Homer. A character, not
too bright.

Capgirl. What about death don't you like talking about. Honest question.

I have no problem talking about death or even envisioning my own death. Not because I want to die but because its a natural part of life. It's not a rare thing. We're all going to do it. 🙂

Mr F. I think that we can definitely use willpower to heal. It's not easy but--you should know this Scorp-- the will is strong and using it is very powerful. It's just a matter of being able to channel it correctly. Take care.

I just don't want to think about people who are close to me dying. I don't know how else to say it.
I'm not worried about dying, though I know obviously its part of life. I never think of my own death.
The ex liked to be prepared for it. We have a family friend who,lost her husband at age 44, with 2 little kids. After that he upped his life insurance, he couldn't stand the thought of us being left with nothing.

It does make sense but it makes me feel uncomfortable to think of something happening to any of my friends and family members.

Capgun,
I may be wrong, but to some extent, preparing for death isn't all that bad. I think your ex doing what
he is doing, is the right thing. At least he is still watching out for you.

I don't know if will power is what it is. It could be. I know I've come close to what seemed like certain death many, many times. I am supposed to have a pacemaker, but it's been 9 years since being told I need one.
