Do you every just lie there and poke your body parts and think "that's going to rot away one day"

That you will be lying there unmoving with no sign that you ever where anything . Had thoughts hopes, dreams and plenty of potential . I must admit the thought of my death offends me simply because I see no point of life if death follows.However this is the way of the universe and i accept it.Im completely fine with death It is what it is .Never really had a problem with it except for confusion over it .
While I am certain it's going to happen one day , a part of my brain I have no control over refuses to believe it. I know it's the same for a lot of people. I wonder why is it because from young ages we are taught to believe we have a part of us that can never die.
No I don't want to hear about how I should live life to the fullest .I know that already I am alive so of course I'll try my best with it. That's not what I'm asking .

I abandoned the concept of souls awhile ago. I accept that im not going to exist one day, and that likely before that im going to lose everything i love and care about. Just trying to enjoy myself while i can. Trying not take the many things i have for granted even if it feels like so little compared to people around me. But to answer your question, yes i do often think about how im going to die. Usually when im trying to sleep. Honestly i think more about how painful the process of dying is probably going to be more than about my body rotting away.

EDIT: i think it's hard to let go of the concept of existence because the mind can't comprehend not existing.

I think enough circumstancial evidence that you don't have to rely on faith alone. There are near death experiences.You may say" there probably hallucinations. However, these are cases where people were dead on the operating table and their brain completely shut down for the op table. They6 recall leaving there body's and observing them overhead. Then moving away from their body"s and going elsewhere. They also brought evidence of their travels by describing where they went and conversations that they overheard.It's not wishful thinking. It's not understood by Drs.
Ghost phenomena. If they're true then they show the transference of the soul after death.
I've read quite a bit about it and I'm not wishful thing.
It's good too. To know that your friends and relatives are in a better place and you won't be seperated long is precious.

I can tell you that I have had patients that have accepted death and have gone peacefully. I have had other patients that fight it bitterly and they suffer greatly.

Of course, it has been embedded in my mind since I was young. Nothing has ever lived that will not die.

I feel you, except it scares me. I don't get our purpose if we just die.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I too go through moments - believe me I have moments - when my mind is going back and forth with itself

@Pureblossom: It changes:
1. My father and his lifelong disappointment in me which leads to;
2. My depression about how I'm never good enough;
3. Debating about my unsuccessful suicide attempt;
4. My attraction to and shyness about women.
It goes from there
