Yeah. As someone who really likes thinking about metaphysics I'm really excited to die and see what it feels like. That being said I also really enjoy living and I'm not in a rush to die. It'll happen eventually and I want to try to do as much as I can while I can.

Everyone should be excited to die, not just religious people. Being excited to die means you lived a good life that you're satisfied with.

Is there any reason to feel different after you've died than before you were born?

[–] RadicalEagle -1 points 8 months ago

Nah. But reason and logic are just human constructs that you'll get to let go of when you die. The process of being born is indescribable for me. I think the process of dying will also be indescribable by definition.
