I for one am not afraid to die. The way I see it, death comes to us all, so what's the point?

Who says I'm not already?

Peter Griffin: Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits, it says, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Brian: Peter those are Cheerios.

Hey, me and Stewie did that one already.

C3PO: Curse my nOObie body, I wasn't fast enough!!!!!

You shouldn't fear death, but you should respect it and not be in a hurry to get there. Life is too short.

what u think is on the other side

keep in mind i do believe in god and heaven and all that good stuff.

but really no one dies and comes back to tell us what is over there and people with near death experiences no one knows if thats dreams they experience and true experiences so really whats on the other side that awaits us

deathjdstn: really... how do you explain dreams when there's no recorded brain activity?

that is true lol i know someone that went through a coma situation and came out of it and later on told me what they experienced and they said they could not hear anything but that he was in a dream like state so like i said no one really knows when someone goes through near death experiences and the images and sites and sounds they experiences what does it truely signify.

is it something from the afterlife??

or is it a dream???

or something the mind is doing as a defensive measures to try to keep u alive and or sane.


who knows

so really how do we know what really awaits us on the other side..


i hope when i die that god awaits me on the other side and that my friend is what keeps me from being afraid of death.

however i am not affraid of death only because i know u cannot avoid it.
It will eventualy come and get u no matter what but what i am affraid of is how i will die i do not want to die a painfull death.

Having grown up across the street from a cemetary, I was very young when I learned the concept of life and death. Without experiencing death, one cannot FULLY experience life. It's part of the process. So, basically, no, I am not afraid of death. Does this make sense?

For 15 years of my youth I lived next to a church/cemetery. The only problem is when you see there spirits, and you realize the door is opening and closing, even when the air was not turning on or off.

Not afraid of death , but am afraid of how i am gonna die.
BUT it will come so i am not gonna worry about it.Worrying isn't gonna change it. Will hopefully do as much with the living part as i can.

I am not afraid of death.

Just the pain that comes with it

I'm not afraid of death or the pain it brings. The pain is like birth, bringing you into the next, and death is just your character leaving the stage. 8) Besides you will only catch your death by worrying about it. :twisted:

It's been said before that death comes to us all, but it's what's after that I'm interested in. You're going into the unknown, if there is contact, it's tough to prove to a skeptic.
So, am I afraid, no. I look on it as the start of another journey.

ON DEATH

Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream,
And scenes of bliss pass as phantoms by?
The transient pleasure as a vision seem,
And yet we think the greatest pain´s to die.

How strange it is that man on earth should roam,
And lead a life of woe, but not forsake
His rugged path; nor dare he view alone
His future doom which is but to awake.

I'm not scared of death...I'm scared of what's after it...I seriously can't think about afterlife because my body will convulse...not violently or anything, but enough to freak me out


no shit

When you discover there is no life after death, boy will your face be red.

or not

i reckon his face would be more purple or blue. Unless it was squashed in a serious accident.

I'm not afraid to die at all; but I'm afraid of living in pain or living as a crippled person. The past year has been very, VERY bad for me; and I have seriously considered suicide - even to the point of trying to find out how to get cyanide pills. I could not find any way to get them; but that would have been my choice if I did it. I really thought it would be good to just take a pill and die quickly; but then I started thinking of my cat and wondering what would happen to her if I checked out. I also realized that it would be very bad karma for me to chicken out like that; and I would be doomed to another incarnation with similar problems. So I didn't do it; and then things got better for me. I was unemployed for seven months, and finally got a good job three months ago. Now I'm slowly turning my life in the right direction; but six months ago, it would have been easy for me to take that cyanide pill if I had been able to get it. I didn't want to try a gun because some people have shot themselves in the head and lived anyway! Knives are too messy, and sometimes you just pass out before you get the job done. So I wanted a cyanide pill; but I guess only CIA agents can get them. Anyway, I'm glad to still be here with all you hairy assed humans, because I worked out my problems; and I can still have sex! Yea! drydreamer

Im not afraid of death. I went through a time in my early teens when I spent a lot of time dwelling on it.

I think it was more the thought of how or when, than the actual dying.

As long as its not painful or horrific Im ok with the thought of it now.

And I have told everyone who knows me if, I become old and senile, I want to be taken to Switzerland, and helped to go peacefully, before Im kept alive in who knows what state at some UKs doctors whim.

Remember folks, no one here gets out alive! :wink:

Why do people often say life is too short when it is the longest thing any of us ever experience.

I'm not afraid of death because I won't be the first or last person to die. Besides, why should I be afraid of it? I have too many other things to think about right now.

As for the afterlife, as a Jew and a scientist, I don't really think about it much. I mean, I suppose it would be nice, but very crowded, and I'd probably get really bored.

The problem with death is that we fundamentally cannot wrap our brains around the feeling of not existing. No matter what we do, we always exist. But I guess the good news is that we don't have to freak out about how we're going to deal with not existing because, well, we won't exist to freak out about it.

I don't particularly want to die, but when it happens, it happens. And I'll just live the best I can.
