I fear death because it sounds infinitely more boring than living - even if I won't be around to experience boredom.

Its gonna happen to all of us eventually, anybody, anywhere, any time will eventually die, its just the course of biological existence. No point fearing it, its like fearing sleep when you were little, you are worried about the monsters under your bed or drawers - not because they exist cause they dont but because it is an unknown, you dont know what could be there but you know that sleep is going to happen sooner or later and there is no way of avoiding it......
I don't fear death. It would be foolish and kinda pointless. Its gonna happen regardless. Plus I havent really commited any cardinal sins, so I figure I got a nice lakeshore spot in heaven.
The only thing I really fear death topic concerning would be disease or old age. Im fine with getting killed or accidents or alcohol posioning, but lingering illness? cant handle that shit.
Like throat cancer, having your throat tighten up til you cant eat, then drink then breathe. hurts all the time. Not for me. Living til 90 only to watch your body betray you. 20 years of slowly decaying alive. that creeps me out.

Ehh, I know I'm shuffling off this mortal coil one of these days, I'd just rather it be nice and quick so I don't have to think about it. No regrets, Mr. Freeman. ...I mean, Mr. Reaper.

No, not really. It happens when it happens, and as far as I'm concerned there's no reason to get your knickers in a twist over it. Live well while you can, and then give the old man an easy time when he comes round. If you're good, you get an eternity surroudned by naked supermodels of your preferred gender, if you're bad, you get an eternity tortured by naked fat people; and if you don't beleive in that, you get an eternty reading beat poetry in a cofee shop somewhere.
...In a way, it's kinda like playing Russain Roulette with life.

I don't fear death. Death fears me.
I actually find death as a motivator rather than something to fear. I always figured that when I die, that's it. I don't know if there's an after life and if it's the one I want to be it, but I know I don't want to die yet. That's what gets me motivated to try to enjoy the life I have, now. So that's enjoying everything life has to offer and not be in fetal position fearing death.

Wow. Mate, you need to calm down. You're starting to just be a jerk. Everyone here needs to calm down, but you especially.Moldiworp2 said:

"I don't fear death. I don't fear living, either; it's what comes inbetween that scares the shit out of me."
I can't remember who said that. Anyways, I'm not really afraid. I've been hit by 4 cars, nearly bled to death, got charged by a rhino, impaled by a bull, and have been hit by a lightning bolt. There really isn't much the universe can throw at me by this point to scare me. Besides, life's worth living! We're all gonna die sooner or later, so why not enjoy life now while we still have it?
That's really interesting. What caused it? And what was it like? Or do you not have any first-hand recollection of being "dead"?2fish said:
Wow. That is one hell of a girl you got yourself. I swear, if you do anything to make her cry, I will find out, track you down, and make you suffer. Damn. I'm sorry, but I'm envious! Not everyone can get a woman like that!klaynexas3 said:
I'm absolutely terrified of death.
I'm a Christian, so I know I should be confident that there is life after death, Heaven, all that. But that little voice in the back of my head got itself a megaphone, and I'm seriously questioning whether or not my faith is the truth. What if when we die, that's it? We don't just see black forever, we don't dream, we don't go to Heaven, we just cease to be?
I'm scared.

The most common fear among humans is fear of the unknown. We don't really know what happens when we die, so that is why we fear it. I mainly fear it because I'm pretty sure the only thing that will happen when I die is that I will just cease to exist. The world will just go on it's merry way without me.
I don't fear death. I fear where I'll end up after I die. If it's a Heaven/Hell thing, then it's more Hell/Hell because I just can't live in a world that's perfect. It'd be boring. Personally, I'm hoping that it's reincarnation. But, we won't know until it happens, if it's reincarnation we still wouldn't know.
If i die tomorrow i would die without realizing any of my dreams, i would die without making a single impact on this world, i would have missed the majority of lifes experiences and worst of all, i would have never had the opportunity to be remembered so i suppose i dont fear death, i simply resent it.
My own death? I don't really want to die young, but I do not fear death itself. I'ts just something that happens,like birth. I've felt that way since I was very young.
A few years ago, I had cancer. My experiences in cancer hospitals and seeing the misery of those around me has made me have a rather nonchalant view of death. Now, I'm not saying I don't fear death and I'm going to go parachute cougar-fighting tomorrow, but I just don't really care if I die. I will avoid any potential dangerous situations, but if I get cancer again and it's fatal, I'm just not going to care. There may be something after life. There may not. But whatever it is, there is no way to avoid it. So there is no reason to fear it if you know it is inevitable.
If I ever get a moment to think about it I get really depressed. I do believe in some sort of god, but I'm not necessarily certain about an afterlife. Crap now I'm depressed.
