Should we fear Death? (opinion)

[xAsh-chanx]

I fear life more than I fear death.

But I believe that fearing the inevitable is just a waste of time. You can't stop death, so you might as well enjoy the life you have. There's no use in making a big deal out of something like that razz

Well we all die there is nothing we can do about it so i try not to worry about it, there's really no point.

I have died. I remember how it was.

Imagine losing the will to fight for your life. It leaves slowly, inevitably. Your sense of self dissolves into pieces, scattering, but there's no oblivion. There's life itself, swirling like a thousand points of light, the beating heart of the planet, and you join with it, becoming a part of it. For that time, all pain, joy, love, elation, stress, worry, all the things you've felt and suffered through fades, and you are part of what could never feel more natural or wonderful.

Then I got squeezed back together and thrust back into my body.

I know what awaits me, and I'm anxious for it, but not so anxious to miss out on what else I can do here!

Maybe death is feared because one doesn't know what is going to happen. It's scary because it's an unknown territory and is the opposite of life, which we all like in one way or another. I fear death a little, but half the time I don't really think about it. That's probably the whole point. Don't think about it too much and just keep with your life until it's time, thought one doesn't know when that will be.

Helluva wait for that "first step" (under normal circumstances), if you ask me.
What is all of life before that? Baby steps?

I can only speak for me here. I`m not afraid of death. I had always felt that something goes on afterwards and had more then one experience to get my prove on that. Death is not the problem, but I´m afraid of the way of dying. Fever death is a nice crossing, but there are other ways.Oh well, sooner or later it will happen. I hope us all that it goes quickly.

I don't think anyone should really fear death, for it is Inevitable. Instead what we should fear is how we will meet death. What terms we will be on with loved ones as well as with yourself when the end comes.... Death is not what I fear, it is regret.

I think that it is important to fear death. As Marylin Manson says in "Reflecting God", "without the threat of death there's no reason to live at all". Until recently I thought that was a silly line, but recently I have found that the greatest growth and eventual happiness comes from the most difficult trials. This works on a societal level as well. I mean, think of Hitler: So many aspects of the modern world are as they are thanks to him. Women got a big foot in the world when all the men went to war, and the feminist movement gained momentum as more women decided they liked doing men's jobs. The world has (more or less) recognised that racial and religious stereotypes are bad. Great technological and scientific advances were made. And so on.

If you are wise, you will fear death, for the apathetic live lives that may as well be death.

I, personally, do not fear death.

I don't think death should be feared. Its a part of life we all have to accept. Though I think the reason some people do fear death is because they fear the unknown. Death is the unknown, death is the ending, death is our eternal sleep. I think death as eternal peace actually.

Its a positive concept to think of death as eternal peace... x3
