Do you fear death?

[Malevolence]

All our times have come,
Here but now they're gone,
Seasons don't fear the reaper.
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain,
We can be like they are.

No, because in a way I want to die, i'm just curious of what, or what does not happen afterwards...

Well one day you will deffo find out i promise

 

[Skillmister]

Nope.


Reading this at the moment, quite interesting.

I had a premonition I'll die peacefully in my sleep, unlike the passengers with me in my car.

Except if the atheists are correct, in which case he won't find out anything.

 

[Orionaut]

No point fearing something that will 100% happen.

Back in my teens I nearly drowned, the reason why I didn't was because I accepted death and stopped struggling. At that point I just floated up to the surface!

I learned an important lesson that day!

I envisage death like the leaves of the trees. Every fall they fall to the ground and yet no one weeps for them. We have to be more than leaves, right?

 

[Spook187]

Afraid about the point of pain leading up to Death, afterwards there is nothing as you cease to exist, i don't believe in all this soul rubbish either, once your brain goes it's game over for good.

aye i meant either way, but my money is on the total darkness one(nothing), in which case we won't know

I don't fear death, I see it as more of an annoyance that I hope will be far enough away that I can complete enough of my goals in life first.

It depends really. Part of myself does fear death, I'd say this was the part that is the everyday "me" the identity if you like. However the inner me, that only I know, probably sees it more as a curiosity, but then again, this is the part that also feels that things aren't quite what they seem and that life is all just a big curious school playground

Obviously the process of death isn't something I'm looking forward to. But the actual being gone part is not something that bothers me at all.

I hope i'm not the only one that keeps reading the thread title like this:

No it just means you see your death as if you were a leaf, that nobody will cry for you?

 

[Mickie]

If it all ends the same then what advantage has anyone had over anyone else?

one has had a life the other hasn't..

 

[Voltar]

I fear ageing and life passing me by more than death. Dying before my time is what really, really scares me.

 

[d_brennen]

I don't fear death as such, I feel sad that one day I won't be around for my daughter. Also, there are so many things I won't have time to do and see Life is amazing
