Does Death Scare You?

Why should it? I was lucky to be born into doctor parents.

Death is so random and common I lost all respect for people who have any fear of it.

The WAY you die, that makes sense, but death in itself is in SO many ways a relief.

Think about it, life in many ways can be enjoyable, but in the end, it can become boring very fast or at the most, not fulfilling to the point where you truly cannot think of it any other way.

Death is a relief, the sooner you die, the less time you'll have to waste until your death.

All you do, is wasting time.

Am I wrong?

I don't know, my motivation for waking up every day, taking a shower, going to the gym, bars, school, playing a sport, making love.

It has its purpose, but if I knew I was going to get hit by a car tomorrow and die instantly, I'd have a smile on my face all day.

 

No. Death is easy. Dying is the problem.

I dont fear death. i fear what my loved ones will do when im gone. i mean a lot to a lot of people, and ive had people tell me they would kill themselves if i did. i doubt they meant it. but still i dont want to cause pain or agony for anyone.

 

When you get old you fear how you care going to die. No one wants to die in agony. Also there is a degree of fear of death since it is so unknown.

 

Ever hear about the power of positive thinking?

Anyway, the fear of death is fear of the unknown mainly - unless as previously stated, it's fear of a painful exit. But life too has it's unknowns.

i TRY NOT TO GIVE it much thought , but the older I get- The thought does creap in

My concern is that is not a long suffering deal- and my son is stable in his life.

I seen a few dying,(back when gave me an unwanted trip to visit S.E Asia) and that is a whole lot more scary & painful.

Not today, but then I have the flu today. Deaht sounds pretty damnned nice right now. . .

 

I worry about being in pain during my death. But I don't worry about what comes after. What scares me the most is leaving my loved ones. I don't want to seem conceted, but my mom would just be devastated by my death (as I'm sure any mother would). I would hate to put her through that. I also don't want to die soon because there is so much in life to do and see and experience. Why would I want to miss out on anything. I think that life is too short. If you think that it gets boring fast, than the problem lies with you. You need to open your eyes to the possibilities that life has to offer. There is not enough time to do all the wonderful things out there. It seems to me that you actually need to get out there, OP, and live, don't just exist.

 

No.

 

I'm not afraid of dying, it's something so natural and part of life. The way i see it is that i accepted eventual death when i accepted life.

i'm no so sure i'd be so scared to be in the process of dying... unless it was something horrific like being tortured to death. that's a whole different story.

 

i am not afraid of dying, i have come to accept that death is normal.

but what does worry me is the way i will die, and also how my family will cope with my death. I don't want to bring anyone i love grief or sadness.

 

Yes, my love for life and the fact that there are so many things that I wanna do in my life make me hate and fear death.

Althought that fear almost never occupies my thoughts, I would not put my life in danger for a trillion dollars.

 

only since i had my daughter,
i worry bout whas will happen to HER nothing else concerns me.

 

I am sorry you feel that way. Life is so beautiful to my eyes that I would like to be immortal if it was possible. There are so many things to see, to taste, to hear, to understand, so many people to meet!
How can death be a relief? Life must be so boring to live while waiting for death to come!

 

I dont believe in death, to me, fearing death is in the same league as fearing the boogey man.

I know im gonna leave my body one day and that doesnt bother me at all.

I've two near death experiences so i know what to expect now haha.

 

Death is inevitalable. Every thing born on this planet dies and why should we fear what is to happen to all of us?

I do agree that a quick painless death would be preferable to long suffering, but in the end you still cease existing. I have no problem with putting my life in danger, and I do it all the time. I believe live sucks and then you die. No afterworld, no second chance. Who cares? Not me. Live for the moment for you may die in the next.

 

Am I the only one who beleives life is worth living?

 

No, but death happens.

 

it's entirely natural to fear death. every living creature has survival instincts and fear of pain and death is an aspect of those survival instincts. there are children born without pain receptors in their brains. they have to be watched constantly by their caregivers until they reach an age where they understand logically that chewing off their finger tips is a bad idea. they feel no pain so have no fear of pain so they have no fear of consquence of damages done. their inability to fear, to learn from pain, is a birth defect. fear keeps you alert to traffic as you cross the street. fear prevents you from dancing on train tracks as a train bears down on you. fear lets you know it's foolish to try balancing a sharpened meat cleavor on your nose. instinctual fear will tell you if you're being stalked by a dark alley predator. on a spiritual level you may be able to accurately state you do not fear death but the animal body you're living in is programmed to survive and will use fear as it's innate tool for survival.

 

Fear of dying is irrational. We are highly advanced beings, we know death is inevitable. Why fear something that is certain?

People talk about dying in agony, but pain is nothing to fear either. It is fleeting, just like life. Why fear anything?
