How do people deal with their inevitable death?

Ive had a dream like this recently, I turned around to see someone pointing a gun at me and they shot. I can remember every detail about it and how I fell to the ground etc.

I wouldnt say I particularly fear death, it is inevitable as you say! I guess it's the complex human emotions and our culture that make it something to fear so much.
 
Watch final destination, then realise if you are going to die you are going to die and live in fear for the rest of your life at every minor thing that could trigger something that will kill you

In actual fact, I feel that you could argue the opposite of this. Why worry about something you CAN change?

People get passionate about sport, they jump for joy when their team wins, and cry when they lose. Yet they cannot really change the outcome.

As I said, why worry about something you can change, because instead of worrying about it, you should be changing it!

I think it's normal to worry about death. Because you know it's coming, you just don't know when or how. Death is the one certainty in life, but it's also something that we know little about.

I'm going to quote this to annoying people who worry about the smallest things that "could go wrong" and how they think they could've prevented them (while disregarding their blatant use of hindsight :rolleyes: )

I hate the fact I know its going to end.

Not because of the process, but because i don't want to miss anything.

advancement, discovery, evolution and just general life. It'll all go on when I'm dead, and I dont want to miss it!!! I want to see it all

While I won't think I should have done this or that :P, I would still like to keep my thoughts and what not xD. Death will come and that's fair do's, but it's what happens after that freaks me out more personally haha.
Ok it's all fine and well saying I won't moan or care simply becasue I can't as I've ceased to exist, but due to the fact I can at the moment and think that I won't be able to remember a certain something or even think that I've forgotten something, argh just don't like that thought haha xD.

Saying that though we don't know what happens after we die, but it's a safe assumption it's like it was before we were born. Although the whole fact we're even here in the first place and everything is what it is makes my head hurt anyway xD.
 
i find peace in the fact that it's the one thing that i know for a FACT will happen to every other person on the planet, no matter who they are
 
TBH i think i will dead within 10 years if i dont stop smoking:( so thats my goal stop smoking and hopefully add a few more years on:)
 
It's isn't a fear of death that disturbs me. It's a fear of not living up to my own expectations in this life.

That's quite a nice way of looking at it. It's one of those few things that every person has in common.
 
Death don't really bother me (you're dead what do you care!) but losing mobility, eyesight, hearing and maybe worst of all, my marbles, scares the poop out of me

Maybe I'm going mad :D
