Should we fear Death? (opinion)

[pandoras_box13]

I don't really fear death... but all the possibilities that can happen AFTERWARDS.
I mean... we will be dead. That part, I don't mind.
But if you really think hard about it, it might be kind of like before you were born. All those things that happened and you were in utter blackness... in fact. You don't even remember being in darkness.

It hurts your head after a while of thinking about it, so do it in small doses. Aha!

All in all though, I'm afraid of what most people are afraid of.
Leaving the people I love. Not making a big enough difference. Not telling the love of your life that, indeed, you love them because you keep putting it off.
But death in itself... not feared.

This thread keeps popping up every now and then so when I'm walking to the shops or something I'll remember it and start thinking about it more.

I think anyone who says they're 100% not afraid of dying at all in any way is lying. Or at least they don't grasp the total finality of dying. Not that we really can, I guess. How can something that thinks and has a sense of self imagine nothing at all? Not existing is a pretty hardcore thing to happen. I'd rather exist.
I want to be plugged into every machine for as long as possible! I like being alive! It's the secret to life- not dying.

I do not fear what is after death but the way of my death.

Yes, it prevents you from living, and that's what all living things strive to keep doing. Silly question stare

I have notice this through out my whole life. Its like if death is walking behind me, waiting to trip me up with its foot so he can finally get get me. I have come close to death about 4 times now and yet I am still alive. So no I don't fear death, I welcome it. If death is going to get me might as well let think of a way to really get me.

no, death is natural and everyone has to go through it. although people should die in a painless way, not like drowning or something. crying "im gonna die in a painful way" crying

Eugene Trask said everyone dies of heart failure. I say I'm better off parannoid than dead. I almost drowned when I was seven. It was an halfway between an accident and a suicide attempt. But even despite the panic of being rushed away by the river's current and the water in my lungs, there was peace in that moment. Heck, even the sunlight filtering through the water looked pretty.
I don't know what happens afterlife. I don't believe in afterlife. I guess I fear death in a way because of the unknown. But otherwise it should be pretty comfortable, shouldn't it?

Quote:

Marla’s philosophy of life is that she might die at any moment; the tragedy, she said, is that she didn’t.

Kinda cliche but oh well.
Might a well live life while you can.

I DO NOT FEAR DEATH...IN FACT I WISH FOR IT. THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF MANKIND IS SOMETHING OF A GOAL, A QUEST EVEN.  

[Drowned_in_a_teacup]

Instead of fearing death, I try to use the idea as motivation...it's not working very well though sweatdrop

My only fear is life will be wasted when it's finally over. In the end, none of it matters. You're just another human. Even if you affect many other humans, they all die. Even if you're remembered for centuries, humans will all die, and any memory or sign of your existence will be finally destroyed when the sun burns out and the earth crumbles.

It's for this reason that to be condemned to a prison for life, is worse than death, because it's the exact same thing. The only difference is you have to suffer for decades before you're finally set free to whatever may follow death, even if it is absolutely nothing.

When you really think about it, we're all just cells in the cancer that is mankind. We only play a microscopic part in this infectuous devastation of ourselves, the planet, and the creatures around us. And that's why, if I could bring all humans along with me, I would embrace death fully, without second thoughts. And that would be the only way to have not truly wasted your life. I think.

Death is everywhere. It will come to everyone its inevitable. Why fear it? Its going to happen whatever you do.

If I were you....I'd be more afraid of how I was going to die than anything else....
