MrKuro Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm not necessarily scared of dying .. I'm more saddened by the things/events/achievements that I'll inevitably miss out on... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I was for awhile but a near death experience has change my outlook. I don't fear it anymore, when it comes it will come :) Its not the beginning and its not the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Cat Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 It doesn't bother me either way, it's part of the natural cycle and I'm not so enamoured of life that I'll be trying my utmost to keep going... I can't stop my death happening, but I'm not going to be stupid with my life and run around in the middle of the road or anything. I'm almost like Marla Singer in Fight Club about it, I could die at any point, whilst doing anything so why be concerned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt-DavidW Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 For those of you who can't comprehend the experience of being dead, just think back to what it was like for you before you were born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 For those of you who can't comprehend the experience of being dead, just think back to what it was like for you before you were born. How far back? Like "dinosaurs and Jesus" far back or just "black and white TV" far back? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non.sequitur Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 3 comas have stopped my fear of dying (its the truth). So no i am not afraid to die. 3 x-wives have stopped my fear of dying (its the truth). I'm actually looking forward to it. What scares me is en eternity existing *somewhere*, and having to listen to their whining! Now THAT'S scary... For those of you who can't comprehend the experience of being dead, just think back to what it was like for you before you were born. lol, how was it like for you? For me it was...uneventful.

Deletedforeverhaha Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Exactly. I am one of those people.My thing has always been If you no longer exist, how do you know you no longer exist if you no longer exist? Think of yourself as a computer. What happens if you press the button "Shutdown"? The computer slowly turns off. Same thing happens with your body. Your brain ceases to process anything and your cells stop and just die. You basically cannot do any abstract thinking. Your "soul" is just a manifest of the material brain therefore it disappears completely since there are no interactions happening in your brain.

CrashG Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Nope, not afraid at all. If it's my time to go, well then it's time to go. I've done a lot of cool things, seen a lot of cool things, been to a lot of cool places, so I'd be ok with it. There are a lot of things I haven't done that I really want to, but I've had a fairly exciting and fulfilling life so far. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jafoman Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm not afraid to die because of my faith (Christian), in fact it's quite a comforting though, but I certainly wouldn't like it to be a violent death nonetheless.jafoman, sorry to hear you lost your father recently. I'm sure that's quite tough. Thanks... It was very tough. It sucks because he died much younger than his parents.

primexx Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I don't have that comfort zone called religion, therefore the thought of ceasing to exist not knowing what happens after scares the hell out of me. uhh...isn't burning and suffering (or even worse, forced praising a dictator) for the rest of eternity more scary than mere non-existence???

way2quik Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 not afraid of death. but i take pain into consideration, so it is more of how i will die rather than 'of' death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russellc Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I agree with most people here (from my quick skimming). I am not afraid of dying; it is inevitable. I more concerned about the degree of pain I have to go through before actually dying. I would much prefer a peaceful, age-related death rather than a long, arduous torture prior to death. At times, non-existence seems more attractive than existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
