Hmmmm actually now that I think about it, I may have thought of and answered some vast mathematical equations, would think about the universe and how we all fit in, , immortality....and then laugh some more and think up really stupid jokes to tell the guards when I got out!!!laugh laugh

Probably become very conscious of the sense of time passing. Which reminds me, does anybody know a word for sense of time passing?

I was thinking maybe it has to contain Chron and maybe cogni, but I just can't put that together well.

Your answers to the question are supposed to reflect your attitudes about your own mortality and how you deal with death.


An empty locked room is supposedly reminiscent of death, 10 days is supposedly the extent of the average persons ability to comprehend lack of stimiulation in the abstract. I don't know what the chair is about but this is how the psych student who told me about it phrased the question.

Gypsy- you win: some possible insight into yourself and others? That's your fabulous parting gift...


I wonder what if everyone thinks that their answers really do reflect their attitude towards death?

Hmmmm not sure if I would be making jokes, singing etc while I was dying, and I know for a fact most people do not do this while dying.......so maybe Im just crazy???huh laugh laugh laugh

huh ok...........

Yep, algebra and exercise are the ways I deal with my own mortality?

I understand the ten days and the lack of stimulation...but I am lost as to how one's response to the question reflects one's views on their own mortality...

Move over Gypsy, there must be a little more room on that chair for fellow crazy people..laugh laugh

:tongue: I wonder how many people actually realise how slowly time creeps along when you're in a situation similar to this. A minute seems like a lifetime.

Actually Jess I would have looked at your answers and said:

Wow she seems like she accepts death as part of life, she is calm and accepting, she feels that death is not too much for her to handle, she is confindent in her ability to handle whatever may be the afterlife, is not afraid of eternity.

As far as the exercise- I guess it could be said that you are preparing to be strong for what lies ahead??

I've never been in jail but I have spent two weeks by myself with no contact with anyone. It's not as easy as one might think. Stir crazy might be a suitable term. I also might have had a head start.laugh

For myself I saw from my own answers that I reject death, I would not just lie down and die but i would fight to stay alive unless I saw some reason for my death but if I did finally accept that there was no choice then my greatest concern/sorrow would be that I would not know what happened to my loved ones,,, that I would not be able to help them and that was my biggest fear.

That seemed pretty accurate to me so I wondered how it would seem for others...

Ok, thankyou Anoasis, perhaps I am not far enough away from my own responses to see them objectively and relevant to how it may look with mortality.

Sounds a little smug on my behalf, (although is not my intent,) however, your summation of how I view life and death, I would agree with wholeheartedly, as being faced with one's mortality does tend to place life into perspective.
