Do you fear dying?

Foxhound38 · 16-12-2013 02:31AM #1

Does the idea of no longer being able to see, feel, remember, love, think or even exist some day make you feel uncomfortable? We all have to die some day after all, but does the idea of being dead make you nervous or bother you at all?

fussyonion · 16-12-2013 02:33AM

No because when I'm dead I won't feel any of those emotions you just described.
I would hate to think of my family being distraught though.

aaronjumper · 16-12-2013 02:33AM

I don't really fear the being dead part but dying itself does scare me.

Mint Aero · 16-12-2013 02:34AM

No but it really is sh*t. Then I think about eternity and that's even sh*ttier. I dunno what I want

Nah no need to fear something you cannot control! If it's your time, so be it!

jellyboy · 16-12-2013 02:35AM

I was in training for 7 years preparing for my death

it was called marriage ..
so to answer your question, bring it on ...:D

Death is inevitable, it will happen to us all eventually, so why fear it?

Why is there so much dying/cancer threads in AH all of a sudden

It doesn't preoccupy me often, but certainly I don't want to die. Because I like being alive.

catallus · 16-12-2013 02:45AM

Any normal sane person fears their own death. The natural question arises: which do you fear more? Living or dying? Many people are in bad places and have to make a choice.

Maybe a more interesting question would be "Do you fear death?"

There's no need to be an ass. It may be a touchy subject for some of us.

More than anything in the world. I think about dying far too much I'd say. Scares the shit out of me. The only thing worse would probably be the thought of losing my parents. I'd nearly want to go before them so I wouldn't have to go through that ordeal.

Wow, it takes some serious effort to see that post as "being an ass!"

Sciprio · 16-12-2013 02:51AM

I don't really fear it but i hate the thought of me not existing anymore, like not knowing what's it like in 500+ years! Not being around for all the amazing things yet to come. In 2000+ years we'll be the ancients as they're too us now.

I wasn't being an ass at all..I thought I was being nice.
Sorry if you took it wrong

Vito Corleone · 16-12-2013 02:56AM

Not at all. I'm somewhat afraid of the pain process that may be involved.

Don't worry, sure it'll be crap anyway.

Earth is heading for the dark ages. We are constantly creating more and more need for energy without having a sustainable means of producing it and so within 50 years, we will be surround by folding TVs, roll up phones, cool looking cars but yet we'll all be sitting in the dark shivering as we'll have no means of powering the fcukers.

That's pretty much where I am on it too - the idea of not existing anymore bothers me a lot more than dying does

Tsipras · 16-12-2013 03:00AM

anyone who fears dying is an egomaniac we're all on the way there why wud u fear it??

prince of peasants · 16-12-2013 03:02AM

If old age/retirement is anything like being unemployed/on the dole then I think a premature death is not such a bad thing because death, like life, is an on going process which seems more apparent to us at certain times of our lives.

I can't imagine me not being around anymore. Who the fe&ck is going to critisize my own actions???

It scares the bejaysus out of me. And unfortunately I'm not joking on this occasion.

Savage Tyrant · 16-12-2013 03:08AM

Not at all. In fact I hope it happens sooner rather than later. By that I mean, I hope I'm still having some quality of life right to the end and not sick and my last years dragging out.
Being old and frail scares me a whole lot more than dying.

Old age helps us see the benefits of dying.

wolfpawnat · 16-12-2013 04:46AM

I accept death, we are all going to die, hopefully not yet, but it is inevitable.

April O Neill II · 16-12-2013 06:25AM

Yes, I do, I really do.

I feel like I should be saying "Naw, BRING IT!!!!" here, but that would be lies, lies, I tell you!

I fear death taking me, not me taking it myself some day if I so choose. I fear the nothingness. I fear it being painful. I really wish reincarnation was a thing.

But at the same time, I often feel ambivalent about living, always have, and most definitely about bringing life into this world. It's a curious mix of feelings and emotions that I'm just cannot reconcile.

ive been stabbed twice and was on my way out over a punctured artury but I really didn't care if I lived or died

zenno · 16-12-2013 06:34AM

Do you fear death

No, I personally don't fear death at all, it's just a transition from material matter into electrical energy but the "ME" part of it continues on.

I think, therefore I am. Sure how could a person understand the external when trapped inside a container of matter ?.
