Are you afraid of Death?

[HaldolJunkie]

Death itself?Not really, i accepted that it gonna happen so i got over the fear of it.What i'm scared of is dying in the next 5 years and not getting anything done, not enjoying life.We don't know what gonna happen after death so we should make the best out of this life we have.

Not particularly, everyone's got their time to go and if it happens to be yours then there ain't shit you can do about that. If it seems like you cheated death then it wasn't really your time to go, it was just time for a close shave.

 

[UptownRuckus]

Course not.

If I don't die...how will I meat the Spaghetti Monster in the sky?

 

[DisapprovingCorgi]

Not at all. I'm not afraid of death but I'm afraid of pain and hope I go silently and quietly into that great night.

I’m afraid of death because I don’t know what happens afterwards. Could be nothing, could be something. I don’t like not knowing what’s gonna happen.

I guess it’s lingering religion causing it.

I spent 5 years caring for two people with senile dementia related illness, the flesh is a trap of madness, shame and terror. Towards the end death is freedom, I do not fear the Reaper.

I'm afraid of the void, of the sate of non-existence that comes after you've breathed your last. I don't believe in an afterlife and the thought of all this nothing truly scares me.

I'm afraid of the void

Everything has led to this.
You will become something remarkable.
This isn't the End.

I try not to think about it too much. The more you think about it, the more it takes a toll on your psyche.

 

[Christo4k47]

I'm afraid of growing old and slowly atrophying until I can barely walk anymore and then dying peacefully. I want to go out with a bang.

I'm fairly certain I know what happens after you die so I'm not that scared by it tbh. :powerlevel: Two family members of mine described what they saw when they were close to dying. All their dead loved ones, including pets. One died that following night but the other one actually recovered(the doctors really thought she was going to die though). Though they were Christian so I don't know if that had a factor in it or not. I don't think it was a hallucination or dream or whatever since they only saw dead loved ones. Dying of some disease that slowly kills you, like cancer, would be awful though.

There is an inherient fear of death that we have within us to preserve our biological function, obviously. It is primal and fundamental. It is difficult to truly escape this fear, when you’re actually faced with death as opposed to just thinking about it academically.

Spirituality, futurology, philosophy, and any other theoretical application to thinking about death are ultimately fruitless when you’re actually about to die. These are things for the living.

I know one day this will all end. My brief, weird existence will end as quickly as it begun. I have to live my entire life trying to come with terms with that. It’s never fair, it’s never easy, it’s never a good thing. But it’s needed, and it’s inevitable.

In spite my best efforts to keep healthy and physically fit, my death can come at anytime. You’re never ready for it. It’s something to be afraid of.

I don't fear death itself, that's just how it is and I feel comfortable with the thought of being gone like everyone else someday. On the other hand I am utterly terrified of leaving without finishing a few things I have in mind - :powerlevel: I am a bit of an artfag and there's huge projects I don't even feel ready to tackle yet, but I want to see these done. Not really to leave a trace in the world or some grand shit like that, that sounds quite silly if you ask me. It's just because it'd not feel right for me personally otherwise.

Tried to kill myself once. Greatest peace of mind I ever felt.

Life should be judged by how much you accomplished, not by how long you lived.

 

[Zack the ripper]

for me , i don't fear death at all and at the risk of sounding EDGY i sometimes wish it would come faster but that's only sometimes , ive seen people die in front of me , ive examined cadavers to me death isn't some grand thing it's just another part of life , here's a quote from my fav vidya
Death is not a hunter unbeknownst to its prey, one is always aware that it lies in wait. Though life merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope. Only then will a traveler's story live on, treasured by who bid him farewell. But alas, now my guest's life has ended, his tale left unwritten...

 

[Hellbound Hellhound]

Anyone who has a sense of self-preservation has to be a little bit afraid of death. I don't believe any lofty suggestions to the contrary.
