Are you afraid of death?

I wouldnt say so much that I'm afraid of death. I dont dwell on it much. I dont look forward to the inevitable though. I especially dont look forward to potentially suffering through whatever takes me in the end. I just have to hope that whatever the cause, allows me to go gracefully. I fear more for how my loved ones take it, if there are any left by that time.
 
Has anyone done a 23andme?

I am debating doing one but unsure.
Dont know if I need to know some information, but same time want to know some others!

I'm waiting on the results of a full genome test on the NHS for one particular thing. They 'warned' me that it wasn't exclusive, and I'd get the whole thing - cancers risk, metabolism, cardiovascular risks and probable outcomes, dementia, etc etc. Quite sobering tbh.
 
This question always leads me to my own existential crisis about "now". If I didn't exist before I was born and I won't after I'm dead, then the only thing that is important is the current, and then I go down a rabbit hole of, does the universe exist if nothing is alive to experience it..
 
My mother is in a care home and she doesn't have a clue where she is I'm far more worried about losing my marbles than snuffing it which would probably be a release in that case, either way I'll probably be well out of it by that point.
 
I'm more worried about getting to a point where I cannot look after myself.
If I get to that point I'd rather just end it.
 
I’ve seen multiple people go through slow and miserable deaths. That’s what I fear most and why I have an exit plan if I’m ever terminally ill.

I don’t have faith in the government allowing us a dignified death anytime soon.

So is that a yes or a no?
 
I'm not afraid of death, but I don't believe it's the end either. While the soul/consciousness separates from the physical body causing death, reality or realisation dawns upon the soul/consciousness and you have a window into not only the physical world but also the non physical.
 
I've seen several people die. I've held the hands of both my parents as they both passed away from cancers. I've tried to resuscitate someone in the street who had a heart attack, and failed.

I'm not looking forward to death but I've made a certain amount of peace with it.

When the time comes I hope I can sink his battleship.

Seriously? They've done studies where patients claim they have risen from the operating table. They described the room etc, but none have identified the signs/posters put around the room that were put up as part of the test.

I wish what you were saying were true, but do you really think this likely? "a window into the physical and non-physical" - i hate to think how many times my mum and past family members have seen me knocking one out if that's the case.
 
Death isnt a worry for me... but someone elses death is... I'd be affected by loss of family.. but if I die..no problem for me.... But I did think about it a LOT after my Dad died... Far too much

Never been more serious or more convinced of anything in my life.

Not sure how you can do studies on such things, do they deliberately attempt to kill someone then operate and try to revive them? Who says you can freely roam around looking for signs? These things seem to occur naturally. I've read countless reports of the exact opposite to what you are saying though, people who have actually almost died reported things which were later verified by medical professionals, I'll try get you the name of the book which collated various reports from all over the world. Blind people who were born blind so have never seen, seeing for the first time when their physical body was near lifeless on an operating table etc. I've read and heard so many of these stories.

As one gets closer to his/her death, or if one has a close call with death, I think we then start to question our purpose and think a bit deeper about our existence. One thing we all believe though, no one is escaping death and the reality afterwards which so many denied will be facing you and there is no escaping it. Be a good person, treat your fellow humans beings well, stand up for truth and justice and stand against oppression but most importantly do not deny the existence of the One who put us here in the first place. We didn't create ourselves.
