are you afraid to die?

[Photonic2]

I am not afraid to die, I have faced death so many times, I have lost count, death by highspeed motorcycle riding, death by pursuit of cops at highspeed bike riding, never got caught though, faster then a speeding motorola, death by playing to close to edge dozens of times, I won't go into details on that one. No, I am more afraid to live then to die, life is short and enternity is forever, so life is the tougher of the two. Live it as well as you can.

Since we are all quite disposable......I think the fear of dying may lay in this thought: It is not that my body will cease to exist; it is that I will cease to exist. Believing in the afterlife is not the same as knowing, thus in the very core of humans is the terror of nonbeing.

Sometimes, the body or the spirit or both will become sufficinetly fatigued as to outweigh the terror of dying. Not take away the terror, unfortunately, just outweigh it.

A strong belief in a religion is the best preparation.....not meaning church every Sunday.....but a belief their WILL be something else, something more....after we are long gone and forgotten. It's a harsh thought but realistic.

I am not afraid to die. No matter what Plifter says. I'm not. It's the living left behind that hurt, not the dead. Humans relate death with sadness, always have. But why? That is the question. And the easy answer is, the living are left behind to do what humans do, and that is to suffer. As being born, dying is a part of the circle of life. You can't have one without the other. I would be sad for my 4 year old daughter, but my beliefs are strong enough, that she would make it through just fine. I am just waiting for my invitation. There is no reason for me to fear death. If there is nothing else after life, well then, you'd never know. You'd just be gone. If there is, and you lived righteous, death would be a re-birth to something much greater you and I couldn't possibly fathom. If you didn't live righteous, and there is an after-life... well, then I could see being afraid. Other than that, there should be no reason to fear your own death.

Did you write that?...impressive stuff.

I don't have religion and I don't personally feel there is any afterlife.
I don't see why humans would be any more special than say deer or any other animal out here - or even bacteria in that respect.

I live my life in a way that pleases me, this isn't my dress rehearsal - this is the final thing - when I die, I'm dead.

that doesn't bother me in any way, and I welcome it when it comes.

I know this concept bothers most - in fact, in my teens I tried to kill myself and I saw how many people it made upset - and even that concept and telling someone about it upsets them.

but that is the way I feel.
I understand that I'm in the minority - and just as weird as you think I am - I'm looking back at you and wondering how you can't see the "truth"

(that is the proverbial 'you' - not anyone on this thread per se)

I'm only afraid to die if I die of:

Shark attack
Some horrible slow death
Cancer
being eaten alive by a disgusting animal
suffocating
drowning.

 

[velvett]

NO.

I am content with the experience of my life - I feel I've reached the place I should be in this lifetime and rest is just the *bonus plan*.
