Are you afraid of dying?

Post » Thu Jul 05, 2012 9:21 am

Yeah. I'm more worried about how i am going to die. Car crash, heart attack .. or .. something worse.

I'm also afraid that if it's really true that heaven doesn't exist. Then .. i am fuced. I will see dark for eternity.
A heaven after death would be horrendous for me. I would really hate to live forever, an eternity. Would you like to live forever? Imagine how damn boring it would get.

I would be bashing my head into a wall after 1,000+ years.

I am not afraid of dying. I am not afraid of how it happens either. I feel as my life is just another link in the chain. Everyone has to die eventually. I do not care if I do not achieve the goal I am aspiring for, I had the thrill of trying to reach the goal, and I may have touched a few lives along the way. People will mourn, most likely, but they do as they wish. Life is but a privilege. Enjoy it to its fullest while you still can.

This is why I plan to die on the toilet.

If they have internet forums in heaven, I'm sure I'll be able to preoccupy myself.

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm just nervous. I just hope that I don't obliterate into nothing, but I also hope I don't get trapped in a realm full of misery and despair.

As a Christian, I believe that when I die, I'll go to Heaven until Judgment Day, where we will come back in new bodies and live here for eternity. Which suits me just fine, because I plan on having a BGSF meetup if any of us make it and it is true. BGSF for life! *raises sword*

But yes, I would have to say that I am afraid of death. It's the idea that I will not exist anymore. I will be gone. Yes, my bones will remain, but my mind will cease to function and that's it. It's fear of the unknown to me.

I don't believe in heaven or hell or any of that stuff. When you die, you're dead. That's it.

Remember what it was like before you were conceived? No - of course you don't. That's what it'll be like when we die. You will not have a consciousness to even realise it.

I'm perhaps a little afraid of the act of dying, but I have no fear of death itself.

not really, i mean i'd rather die fairly young than slowly becoming older until eventually i can't take care of my self and have to rely on others to take care of me (biggest fear). That said i'm not about to roll over and die anytime soon, i plan on doing everything in my power to stay alive

"Have dreams just like you'll live forever, and do your best like you'll die tommorow."
I don't afraid of dead. Cause if I've always do my best in my life, there's won't be any regrets.
I have a faith, and that's what keeps me brave to face the death.
What I afraid of is if I hurt someone, then I die before even apoligize to them.

I would say no, but there are a lot of things that I've said I wasn't afraid of only to be scared stiff when I had to face those things. :P I suppose it's still technically true though, that right now I'm not too concerned about it.

Don't be silly, there are no streets or cars near my PC or fridge.

At least I hope not.

I'm perhaps a little afraid of the act of dying, but I have no fear of death itself.

I know what it was like before I was conceived. It was nothing. I waited an eternity to be born, but I also didn't wait at all. To go from complete nothingness into something is great, however to go in the reverse just sounds tragic to me. Everything I've seen, done, learned and experienced, all to be claimed by the Void? Is our life goal simply to feed the Void? I'm not here to argue beliefs, I just can't fathom the idea of having ideas,beliefs and hopes and then to just be destroyed. This idea extends to reincarnation as well. As cool as it would be to come back as someone else, my past experiences are still taken away from me. This is something that bothers me daily and there is the chance that we all get obliterated. I truly hope there is no such thing, I guess you could say I just love this life too much. As much as the people in this world make me want to strangle myself, I couldn't imagine not being here. After watching beautiful sunsets at lakes, and watching and listening to the Aurora Borealis, it's almost a crime to rob us of those experiences forever.

There's my 10 o'clock rant. I think I need to rest.

It doesn't seem like a worthy event to be afraid of.

Yep

I'm not afraid of death, though I might be afraid of dying depending upon how I go out.

Dying is a weird thing for me. I know I'm going to have to die and when I do die it won't matter to me because when you're dead, nothing matters (you're dead, what do you care? You can't).

On the other hand, nobody particularly wants to die at all, because they're living. It's this catch-22; I'm not afraid to die, I've accepted that it's going to happen, but I'm going to go somewhat out of my way to avoid dying, because I like living. It's not that I dislike being dead, because I can't dislike a state of conscious/subconscious/unconscious nonexistence, and emotion requires at least one of those states.

ITT, I like living so I don't want to die, but it's going to happen anyways and that's beyond my control. I don;t know, it's confusing to talk about :shrug:

Not really of dying, but of anything that might happen after death.

I always thought it was lame to just not be there anymore, and I overthink it like "is religion real", "do we just dream forever", "Do we have spirits that do something cool", "Are we reborn". Just things like that.

Afraid of dying? For some strange reason death is always in my mind. But what worries me the most is what comes after that.

There is enough "evidence" to suggest near death experiences. Though not to get into a religious subject before the tyrants(mods) show up, many subjects of this(countless people), all report seeing the same things or similar things.

I'll be afraid of dying to the point where I feel content in my influence on the world. I'd hate to go before making the world a better place but I feel like if I did something to heavily impact modern societies way of thinking in the manner I'd like then I could die and not feel like I needed more time.

And a lot of reports would be similar for people experiencing Sleep Paralysis. Just because some experience we have can have a common influence on our brains does not mean that it means anything important.

I hope something cool happens after you die, cause like I said it would svck just to cease to exist.

If it were my way I would make people's memory and consciousness separate from the body and become part of a collection of other people's memories and counciousness'. I don't know where to go after that. :D
