American Institute for English Proficiency, Makati, Philippines on Facebook

[Denmark Pilongo]

Denmark Pilongo
Customer Service Specialist

"I am glad I found The American Institute because they helped me in improving my conversation fluency and developing my confidence. At first, I was very intimidated when speaking in English, but I became more and more comfortable. I am currently working as customer service specialist in the BPO/Call Center industry, and I have The American Institute to thank for. I am still a part of the institute through their English Club called Universal Pro-English Club. We've done many activities including trips to Baguio, Lucena, interview strategies, and many more so that we can use English in a natural setting."

Alice Anod
Accountant and Auditor

"The English language Specialists are very different from all the teachers I've had in high school or college. Most teachers I've had in the past were very strict and distanced themselves from the students, but these guys will make you feel like you're one of them. In fact, we call them by their first names, not "sir" or ma'am." They respect us as students with individuality, and at the same time, we respect them for their knowledge and expertise. I used to work for a relatively small local bank, but now I work for a major international firm after developing my speech and communication skills through them."

Elaine Villafuerte
Hotel Operations Specialist

"Before I came to The American Institute, I was already somewhat confident with my English; I simply wanted to polish my speech and communication skills. What I found was that I had so much more to learn. They really taught me how not to just speak English, but how to speak WELL. I was able to improve my critical thinking skills and became a more organized speaker. Now, I work for a five-star hotel, and I am so much more confident when dealing with local executives as well as foreign business professionals. I would highly recommend their services."

everyone said if you gonna die, it will be. 

[Nancy:)]

Yes, we are all going to die. That's the only sure thing in this world. Thinking about it, I am not yet ready for it. I have somany things that I want to do before I die.

[scott eysis]

Why think of death when we can think life? Well anyway, me...I'm afraid to die. I still have lots to fulfill and I believe that there's still much more to life for all I know and the only thing that will hinder me from experiencing all of these is if I die. So yeah, I am afraid to die. 

[hanzup]

Death, the final proof that we once lived a mortal life.Perhaps it is not death itself that we are afraid of. Perhaps what we really fear is leaving behind our mundane existence. Untill we do not learn to accept that being in this world is just a temporary stop-over, death would continue to haunt us even in our dreams.

[gemma0928]

Yes we will die. Everybody has it's own ends. I just wish that when I die, I will leave my children financially stable. That's the dream of every parent.

[iAMHE]

Oh death, where is thy sting?

i remember that poem..

death is when we become unconscious...

[Christopher]

Is there death in life?

Can you be dead while you are still living?

[iAMHE]

Interesting question, but I say, there is no life after death say for example your soul/spirit continue to live and is conscious after you died.

And I dont think we can be dead while we are alive, unless we pretend to be dead.

[periwinkle]

Well, yes at first I was afraid to die..but in a way in became my motivation.  I would think that everyday will be my last day on earth.  With this in mind, I will be cautious in everything that I'll say or do. Of course, at my last day, I would love to do good things to all the people around me.  Although I'm prone to different factors that affects on how to handle my day, still, I do this whenever I can.

 

Is there death in life?

Can you be dead while you are still living?

Chris, for me you can be dead while you're still alive.  When you stopped growing, when you stopped developing as a person, that ends you life.  Even you are still breathing, its non sense, because you're life is not worth living for.  You have to find joy in everything you do.  There should be an improvement in you everyday.

Is there death in life?

Can you be dead while you are still living?

Death in life suggests a metaphor in a way. However, if in the future cryopreservation of a human being becomes available when reconstitution of the frozen body back to life becomes feasible, then there can be temporary death in life.

Death as a metaphor describes a condition or a state, as periwinkle said, where growth becomes stunted or if one experiences a kind of growth in an opposite direction where conditions develop to worst levels. Most of the time, death as a metaphor refers to a part of our life, and as such this suggests the presence of the other side - and here shows a place or aspect where hope reigns. Death as a metaphor then has a twin but one renders it un-focused or blurred. His focus tend to rest on that part of his world which stand for death. This other side may be called life as a metaphor. If there is death in life, then there can also be life in life.

you lost me there dude, next thing you know you'd be citing the secrets of the egyptians on life after death... and you really lost me on the metaphors, couldn't you be a little more vague?

i'd agree with periwinkle about the stagnation, the senselessness, the loss of all sensation, that to me is death while you're still alive. hesse once said that your current temperament is your fate, so you live and breath but you're dead on the inside, and i think that it would be your destiny unless you embrace the changes that your life needs to encounter . that's why people crave spirituality and searches for their souls, and for their identities, searching for enlightenment that darkens their lives and their spirit. and wouldn't life in life be a little redundant, and please don't even cite pregnant women, that would be real cheezy...

[Angel Assassin]

you lost me there dude, next thing you know you'd be citing the secrets of the egyptians on life after death... and you really lost me on the metaphors, couldn't you be a little more vague?

I lost you? Then thank you for the information. If I want improvement in my life, then every information helps and I will have the chance to utilize it for the better, and you have just given me information.

i'd agree with periwinkle about the stagnation, the senselessness, the loss of all sensation, that to me is death while you're still alive.

I hope you have sensed that in this topic there are at least two senses of death. We are dealing here of two terms. If we aren't make distinction, then there can be ambiguity. The two senses include the physical one and the metaphorical one. The one referred to by periwinkle in answer to Cris was the metaphorical sense. The same sense occurred in that statement I quoted from you just now. Although there are some physical activity involved in senselessness, stagnation, loss of all sensation, the word death here cannot be the physical death, but the metaphorical one - because you are still alive - so that we may not treat the meaning to be literal.

hesse once said that your current temperament is your fate, so you live and breath but you're dead on the inside, and i think that it would be your destiny unless you embrace the changes that your life needs to encounter .

Again here, the meaning of death is not literal, but metaphorical.

that's why people crave spirituality and searches for their souls, and for their identities, searching for enlightenment that darkens their lives and their spirit. and wouldn't life in life be a little redundant, and please don't even cite pregnant women, that would be real cheezy...

And now, not only death which can have at least two meanings. Life can have two also. Life in life can be a little redundant, yes, but only if you would interpret both literally. Life in life - the first is a metaphorical usage, and the second the literal one.

The question of Chris can have two groups of answers depending on the meaning of death at least.

Can you be dead while you are still living?

If death here means the literal meaning, the answer would be, so far, there's none yet that can make one conclude you can be dead while you live. But, there's a possibility. If we define death as as the cessation of all the vital functions of an organism, then there can be an instance of this in cryopreservation.  Cryopreservation of a living organism preserves an organism's viability at very low temperatures. In fact, bacteria, some animal and plant cells can be cryopreserved and revived. But this hasn't been done yet nor viable in whole (more complex) organisms especially man, or at least if there's any, it hasn't been proven fully yet. I read a news a long time ago about a dog who have been cryopreserved for a few minutes and revived, but I didn't know if its true. When cells are cryopreserved (sperm cells can be cryopreserved), all activity of the cell stops -literally (if we follow the definition) its dead, but they can be revived, at least so far a percentage of them can be revived to life. In the future, if cryopreservation will be perfected to include man then there can be death in life - that is temporary death. So in that condition, if one wishes to see what it is like say 200 years beyond, he can request for cryopreservation and be revived at the date he wishes to be revived.

If death in Chris' question means the metaphorical meaning, sure there is death in life. This kind of death will actually depend on how the person views his self and the world around him. It is largely affected by perception. (Of course except those who are paralyzed or in comatose states - technically they aren't dead yet).  But perception on an aspect of our life can be shifted to other aspects of our life. So if in some moments of our life we perceive our life as death then the other action can be also true - we can shift our attention to life in our life. It cannot be possible that we don't have nice experiences whatsoever. We have. Death and life in life depend where you focus on.

[alucard]

well that's what friends should do to compliment their existence, give their friends a proper unbiased reaction, without sophistry and nor modesty. and that is life that i'm talking about. hope your friends do the same.

I hope you have sensed that in this topic there are at least two senses of death. We are dealing here of two terms. If we aren't make distinction, then there can be ambiguity.

yeah, actually i'm just focusing on one, but other posts have intruded upon the singularity on the moot topic of death, and i found it exhilarating to comment and agree on one comment that i think explains the schemes in the most simplest terms the concept of such an idea. i was riding on the thought about your "metaphor" on these things and i feel it unnecessary to delve into a lenghty discussion on it without taking heed the spirit of brevity. i lose interest in some of the things that i sense is either too vague or too superfluous to spend more time and energy just trying to decipher what it purports to deliver.
 

Again here, the meaning of death is not literal, but metaphorical.

and i wasn't even arguing about the metaphors or the dichotomy of those metaphors, it's death, plain and simple. but if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine.

And now, not only death which can have at least two meanings. Life can have two also. Life in life can be a little redundant, yes, but only if you would interpret both literally. Life in life - the first is a metaphorical usage, and the second the literal one.

if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine. and yada yada yada

The question of Chris can have two groups of answers depending on the meaning of death at least.

so,ok. there are more than one design and more than one thought on the concepts of death, there's the clinical and there's the metaphorical. how bout the surreal death and the quantum death or spiritual death? can we delve on those too?

If death here means the literal meaning, the answer would be, so far, there's none yet that can make one conclude you can be dead while you live. But, there's a possibility. If we define death as as the cessation of all the vital functions of an organism, then there can be an instance of this in cryopreservation.  Cryopreservation of a living organism preserves an organism's viability at very low temperatures.

So in that condition, if one wishes to see what it is like say 200 years beyond, he can request for cryopreservation and be revived at the date he wishes to be revived.

what's with the fixation on cryopreservation? that's not even metaphorical and it's not even clinical death, it's not even clinical death, it's the lowering of the metabolical functions of a substance to a point where it seems it had succumbed to oblivion, and they imitated that technology in nature. and can we label that as temporary? when we all know that an organism subjected to that procedure can and will be revived, given the proper technology involved. so is that even death when it just imitates the metabolic signatures of the dead?

If death in Chris' question means the metaphorical meaning, sure there is death in life. This kind of death will actually depend on how the person views his self and the world around him. It is largely affected by perception. (Of course except those who are paralyzed or in comatose states - technically they aren't dead yet).  But perception on an aspect of our life can be shifted to other aspects of our life.

sigh, if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine.

[Angel Assassin]

well that's what friends should do to compliment their existence, give their friends a proper unbiased reaction, without sophistry and nor modesty. and that is life that i'm talking about. hope your friends do the same.

Some people react differently, so most of my friends if not all of them whom I considerably spent with  ask in a manner that is more direct if there's something they do not understand. At least that's what I see in them - that is, they seem to want to learn so they ask different kinds of questions - I more direct questions.

yeah, actually i'm just focusing on one, but other posts have intruded upon the singularity on the moot topic of death, and i found it exhilarating to comment and agree on one comment that i think explains the schemes in the most simplest terms the concept of such an idea. i was riding on the thought about your "metaphor" on these things and i feel it unnecessary to delve into a lenghty discussion on it without taking heed the spirit of brevity. i lose interest in some of the things that i sense is either too vague or too superfluous to spend more time and energy just trying to decipher what it purports to deliver.

Yes, that's right. And maybe, I got your attention by that. Your actions seem to talk differently than the content of your words. Some people who aren't interested don't even punch an electronic dot, but you...You've been answering abundantly. You have found what to focus on in my writings, at least in this segment. Actions speak louder than words...Ah! I would love to multiply the superfluousness , the vagueness so you can always allow your eyes to read and comment.
 

and i wasn't even arguing about the metaphors or the dichotomy of those metaphors, it's death, plain and simple. but if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine.

Banalities, alucard are like carrots on a stick...donkeys love them, if someone else would look at it that way.

if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine. and yada yada yada

That is....hmmm...nearly correct. Good answer. But to me, you have exaggerated a little by calling them banalities. But that's better anyway...the more they perceived as banalities, the more readers will be attracted. Since you were the first reader, you're counted as 1. You cannot remove your reply anymore to express your disinterest in action unless you request it removed. You're locked in.  . So if there's no one who commented, then you will be the only one on my list. I do pray there will be another one. 

so,ok. there are more than one design and more than one thought on the concepts of death, there's the clinical and there's the metaphorical. how bout the surreal death and the quantum death or spiritual death? can we delve on those too?

Do you think 'death' in spiritual death literal?

what's with the fixation on cryopreservation? that's not even metaphorical and it's not even clinical death, it's not even clinical death, it's the lowering of the metabolical functions of a substance to a point where it seems it had succumbed to oblivion, and they imitated that technology in nature. and can we label that as temporary? when we all know that an organism subjected to that procedure can and will be revived, given the proper technology involved. so is that even death when it just imitates the metabolic signatures of the dead?

Am I saying it is metaphorical? And do you know what is clinical death? Did you not notice that I'm pointing to the cryopreservation of cells at least? Clinical death is signaled by the cessation of heart beat, blood circulation, breathing and electrical activity of the brain. Physical death constitutes more than that for it will involve the cells. There will be a cessation of the activities of the cell. Clinical death precedes physical death, because upon identification of the signs, the cells are still alive. There is a delay in time between the cessation of vital body physiology (internal body activities) and cessation of vital cellular physiology (activity of the cells). What happens in cryopreservation? Cells are freezed to levels where their activity are stopped effectively. So if a human is cryopreserved there are two things that can be observed: clinical death and cessation of the activity of cells. But if it will be perfected for humans in the future, cessation of life this way can be reversible - because here, the cells are still viable though all of its activity has been stopped effectively.

sigh, if you must swim on the reciprocal focus of such banalities, it's your argument, not mine.

Well, thank you at least for this line. I'm receiving actually two messages from you - content of your verbal communication and you action. Your action taps me on my shoulder if not giving me a thumbs up.   

[alucard]

ok ribo dude, it's a thumbs up, continue with the good work, i admire your perseverance and resilience, and i respect your views. i just can't help it sometimes to tease  it's every man's uncontrolled reaction to tease a person and have some fun while doing it too. you have a lot of things going in your discourses, it's good, i'm a constant reader. nice work...

@ topic

so death, no prob about it.

"Do you know, how pale and wanton thrillful
Comes death in a strange hour
Unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you?ve brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings
Where we had shoulders, smooth as ravens claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until it?s other jaw reveals incest
And loose obidience to a vegetable law

I will not go
Prefer a feast of friends
To the giant family" -jim morrisson, a feast of friends

[hyperonin]

For me there's no reason for anyone to be scared of death as long as you you are contented with what you have right now.

[kerith]

People fear death the most for a variety of reasons:

1.  Uncertainty (of where to go should he/she dies);
2.  Unbelief of eternity; and
3.  Unable to leave comforts of life.

Whether or not a person believes, it doesn't really matter because it is a promised reality. Man is appointed to die once. Next, is judgment.

how i wish to just walk over the great beyond and never look back...

everything is senseless in my life, everything is a mess. got myself sad again  the meds aren't doing it's bit  well, maybe it helps out, i don't get upset that easily anymore. i just feel sad, sad enough to entertain thoughts of walking on the path of an onrushing truck. but i'm a suicidal failure. i have so much assignments that i need to do first before i can kick the bucket.

i just hate my wife so much. caught her yapping with someone i thought was a friend, turns out he just wanted to get into my wife's pants. i wanted a separation but she doesn't, i should kick her out, since we've been unfaithful to each other, i think she just want to stay around so she can get financial support from me. she's holding the kids hostage and she's not even a good mother to my children. hell, i don't even have enough money to support the kids. i wonder why she won't get the heck out of my life.

so i'm a cheater, i'm having an affair, my wife knows it, she knows everything, she reads each s#it i write around here and upsets herself with it. but let me tell you something first, she went to bed with a potbellied scum looking person named rommel santiago and if i were a woman, i wouldn't even consider touching that person to scratch him, rommel is a religious person, he's a devout christian and even does a lot of work in their church and during service, but like most of us, he can't deny himself a good piece of 2nd hand meat. everyone of us is under the whims of our most primal instinct to procreate. but what the hell, i let him drink up my booze, entertained him when he comes to our house, i was more than civilized to him, and my payment for that is his betrayal. so me and the wifey argued about my and her infidelity, and she even stated that rommel helps her out. well, you win some you lose some. she's gonna read this s#it and i wouldn't care if she gets upset or what, she freaking deserves it.

now, i have tried killing myself more than once, even injected myself with dilluted racumin that managed to bulge up on the veins on my ankle, slashed my wrist a couple times that my arms looks like a junkies slashed arm (i never did any drugs mind you, just cannabis, and that's herbal, tried it more than a couple times and it's a good appetizing agent), i tried overdosing on xanax and alcohol, but by god, i'm still alive, i'm so stupid i can't even kill myself decently. i tried to take an m-gas to the bathroom and light it, but it might damage the house and i don't want to involve my children with my stupidity, but sometime last october i was meaning to do it, well, wifey kept vigil and stopped me. how i wish i were dead. i don't care about anything anymore, i don't even care about the children anymore, i just care about betchie and everyday is all so sad and gloomy again...

[iAMHE]

is that for real bro?

no leg pulling, is it?

[alucard]

why should i pull anyone's leg? i might be a tad more joking sometimes, but i'm mostly serious about joking. i want the killing joke anyway.

yes it's all true, so sue me. i bet there's gonna be more than a two way queue on those who wants to line up to kill me. 

[iAMHE]

i think you wife loves you.

she only wants you to taste a "dose of your own medicine"

[Angel Assassin]

Yes, that's right and this is maybe because you haven't yet considered the question that will make you choose to see your life in a different way - in the way that you will see it to be rich and beautiful. It's maybe because you haven't considered yet the question that will make you choose to see a better life ahead.

so i'm a cheater, i'm having an affair, my wife knows it, she knows everything, she reads each s#it i write around here and upsets herself with it.

I think that you are also right in here, and I would like to add that if you can choose to cheat, you can also choose not to and start living life the way you dream of step by step now...

now, i have tried killing myself more than once, even injected myself with dilluted racumin that managed to bulge up on the veins on my ankle, slashed my wrist a couple times that my arms looks like a junkies slashed arm (i never did any drugs mind you, just cannabis, and that's herbal, tried it more than a couple times and it's a good appetizing agent), i tried overdosing on xanax and alcohol, but by god, i'm still alive, i'm so stupid i can't even kill myself decently. i tried to take an m-gas to the bathroom and light it, but it might damage the house and i don't want to involve my children with my stupidity, but sometime last october i was meaning to do it, well, wifey kept vigil and stopped me. how i wish i were dead. i don't care about anything anymore, i don't even care about the children anymore, i just care about betchie and everyday is all so sad and gloomy again...

What would happen if you choose to start building a better life? What would happen if you begin this now? It is also true that you have the power to begin and continue a beautiful life in a way that builds your strength gradually either today or tomorrow....starting this time...now....

[alucard]

i think you wife loves you.

she only wants you to taste a "dose of your own medicine"

i think i want to give you a dose of yours. what made you think you know what my wife thinks? and how did you ever came to the conclusion that she wants to give me a dose of my own medicine? am i the only person here who is fighting for his civil liberties and rights as a person? so what else do you think? do you think you're so high and mighty that you'd just know what other people think right now? do you even know my wife? do you even feed her? if you're not feeding her, then i'd suggest that you shut your stinking piehole. if you have anything more to say about it, please be my guest, because i got a lot more of the garbage i'm willing to dish out.but goddamn, look at what you did to me, you made me sounding like ribozyme  and i don't freaking like it the least bit 

[iAMHE]

i think you wife loves you.

i think i want to give you a dose of yours. what made you think you know what my wife thinks? and how did you ever came to the conclusion that she wants to give me a dose of my own medicine? am i the only person here who is fighting for his civil liberties and rights as a person? so what else do you think? do you think you're so high and mighty that you'd just know what other people think right now? do you even know my wife? do you even feed her? if you're not feeding her, then i'd suggest that you shut your stinking piehole. if you have anything more to say about it, please be my guest, because i got a lot more of the garbage i'm willing to dish out.but goddamn, look at what you did to me, you made me sounding like ribozyme  and i don't freaking like it the least bit 

awwww... that's why i started with a "I think" coz that's what i only think and it doesnt necessarily entails that what i think is the truth and and much more, the absolute truth.

That's my opinion, and that could either be true or false and be subjected to modification if needed be. "I think"  there's nothing wrong about that. I do not claim of knowing your wife neither did i feed her, i dont even know your wife, that's why i said, "i think" she wants you to take a dose of your own medicine - cheating on her, thus she must to the same that you might feel how it is to feel to be cheated.

nay, that doesnt matter, that's what I only think... think, and think, and that's just an opinion on the least.

[d a B z]

everyone said if you gonna die, it will be.  

Yes, we are all going to die. That's the only sure thing in this world. Thinking about it, I am not yet ready for it. I have somany things that I want to do before I die.

Yes it is so basically true, that if it is your time already then it is.
I was just thinking, why do we need to suffer so much (or let God this kind of experience that someone can't stand it alone though there is and will always have a helping hands around you but the question is, still, is in yourself and how will you handle this kind of condition).
And why are people tend to have suicide just to escape their problem? and why would a person who sees the situation of his/her companion do the penetrating actions to continually hurt someone's feelings though they knew that this person is killing himself just because of him or her.

[SR71Blackbird]

We celebrate life when we were born. We party for every birthday as we grow old. In the same token, we supposed to be commemorating life as it concludes to what we know death.

Life is a journey. Life in itself is a slow painful process. It is a journey towards perfection simply to be like Him. When it happens, it is time for us to depart from this imperfect world so we can sit beside Him.

And when my time has come, I hope and pray that I am ready.  

[SR71Blackbird]

Is there death in life?

Can you be dead while you are still living?

Oh man, this is the worst that somebody can do to oneself.

I will consider that as a cool thing for me... To be dead, lets say an hour or a day. hahaha... Its just me...

Death? Why this fuss about death. Use your imagination, try to visualize a world without death! ... Death is the essential condition of life, not an evil.
