Are you afraid of dying?

Post Reply New Topic

I was when I was very young, but let's face it who doesn't fear death at a young age. At the age I am now I don't really fear death itself, not unless you count any possible unpleasantness before the dying. I fear the consequences of death, such as the effect on family and friends and all the things I would miss out on if I were to die now.

Yes. I'm scared anything could happen ot make me leave without warning, without a chance to say goodbye, and I'd have never gotten to do a lot of things I wanted to do. I on;y want to die when I'm old and feel my life is complete.

I'm afraid it might hurt, especially if I die violently.

Not nearly as much as I fear getting old and/or developing health problems that may take away my ability to care for myself and leave me dependent upon others.

I'm afraid of dying young. So much time to live, being cut short. That would suck.

Can't say I'm looking forward to it. But as it comes to all of us, why fear what can't be avoided?

Not anymore. I am by no means ready however. I hope to die when I'm old and grey, once I've lived a full life.

No, I think dying is extremely exciting, blissful, and a positively emotional experience like watching the ending of a good movie (life's like a movie), however I'm afraid to die too young because I want to live a fulfilling life, influence other people's lives, and learn as much wisdom as I can from life.

Absolutely not. I am fascinated by death along with other morbid things. I will welcome death like an old friend. I will await the time when I will join the Earth once again, and ultimately, the universe.

As I said in my last post, I only want to die when I'm old and feel my life is complete. Right now, I still have so much stuff to get done.

well i do not believe in "hell". i think dying would either be like going to sleep forever, or somehow reemerging into another plane of consciousness.

i was already dead (deeply asleep beyond even dreams) forever before i was born, and i can not process that idea. i am here now, but forever i was not here. forever has to contain all "nows", so it does not compute.

i very much do not want to get a terminal disease like cancer or end stage heart failure etc. i would die of fright if i knew i was going to certainly die before i died from the terminal disease.

i very much do not want to die yet.
