Death/Dying

So who is scared of death/dying?

It's an interesting topic, that has many varied opinions.

ExRayTed · 21 Nov 2015 at 20:32

Dying? Not so much.

Pain? Yup, scared of that

I'm scared of any pain when I die and I'm scared I will feel regret at some things I didn't do or achieve.

For me it's not the pain of dying etc, its the nothingness afterwards.

aslong as its quick and sudden,then no

(who knows? might get reincarnated?)

I accept it'll happen eventually.
I don't believe in afterlife.
I wouldn't do something overly risky, e.g. motor racing.
I wouldn't want to live too long, quality of life is a factor.
At some point it'll hit me that I'm old and I'll have regrets.

You were dead for billions of years before you were born, so.......

Do you remember a long wait before being born? You suddenly gained consciousness with no conscience of what had come before. Reckon dying is like that.

The pain of death, whatever it maybe, fear of the unknown and the nothingness, although I surmise you wouldn't be aware of the nothingness, being dead will leave me aware of nothing, probably, as if I never was.

Well hopefully it wont be like youre conscious while floating around in nothingness. You wont have any consciousness..with any luck

but yeah, its the pain often associated with death that worries me.

No, it happens to us all so pointless being afraid of it.

Do I want it to happen? Of course not, but I'm not afraid of it.

I'd be more afraid of being in pain leading to death, say a horrible disease, or being tortured or something.

I think the fact I don't believe in any afterlife, reincarnation etc is the main factor for me that I don't like. I fear just not existing, not being here is a scary thought for sure.

Absolutely **** scared beyond imagination of dying and I can't think deeply about it for more than a couple seconds before I have to shake my head to try and rid my brain of the despair..
However when doing reckless things in life, I never give it a second thought.. What will be will be. really
Not in the slightest bit religious either.. That is almost as unfathomable as death.

As long as you do something greater than yourself, I think it matters little.

But more time to do great things is a pain every intellectual has felt.

For me, there is something. Nothingness is for atheists.

Even if one freak accident where one broke ones neck but was still alive and slowly bleeding for a few hours... Yet you could see your injuries.

I think you need to accept it and live your life, many a life has been ruined by fearing death.

As you get older this becomes more apparent.

What scares me is leaving my family behind, the pain it will cause them.
