Do I fear for myself? No. Do I fear for my children and family when I am no longer around? Yes.

I fear withering away in a hospital bed in agony more than I fear dying.

There are some people that are RISK ADVERSE (they dont like risk)
Then there are those that are RISK LOVING
i people that are afraid of death, and walk through their life like walking on eggshells do not truly live
i am going to die when i gonna die, and there is nothing i can do about that, so i am not going to live my life in a shell nor am i going fear death

I think anyone that says they have no fear of death is full of shit. Even if you're a suicidal terrorist you're going to have some fear of it.

I'm not afraid of death.
But I am afraid of getting OLD. Shit I'm already 21.
But I am afraid of getting OLD. Shit I'm already 21.
In regards to being FOS about not fearing death... (plifter's comment.) Most everyone here knows by now where I stand on the bible and Christianity, from all the threads that popped up and I took part in.
I believe in what is said in that book. As was previously stated: "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain...having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better." - (Philip. 1:21-23)
I could get into very elaborate detail of the explanation as to WHY I do not fear death, but it would bore must of you to death. If you want me to I can in private message. There's only one way I know to say "To die is gain.", and that is when living for Christ. As I do.
The WTC events? The ensuing war?
In it's result, either way; A Godsend.
Do not get me wrong. I will fight for survival when and should I be required to. I will, just as anyone else, feel the adrenaline and the pounding heartbeat. It's instinct. But I will not be afraid to bleed my last few drops.

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.

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.

Death:
To fear death is not to love life.
Those who truly fear death, love their life. One may not care about how he dies, or dying, He may care more about how those who care will miss him. Those who have none to miss them wallow in self - pity, the true reality of suicide.
yet, some may fear death because of the cause of death, and not because he/she, would have those missing him/her. Simply for the fact of, where am I going when I die? Will I move on? Will this be the end or the begining? Or the end?
I myself have no fear of death. Simply because I have no fear of pain, or to die. I do not care who will miss me seeing as how there are few who would do that. However, I do not wallow in self pity as many do. I instead, revert my sadness into anger, not purposely, some chemical in my mind does it, and then I take my pinned anger out on those who seek me harm, or others who I do not dislike harm of any sort.
Answer being:
No.

i would rather...
I would rather be dead than paralyzed from the neck down. that would be the god damn worst. You would be lying in bed all day everyday, drinking your food, incapable of doing anything with your hands (writing, holding a book, typing, etc.) this is worst than death.

Yes being quadrapalegic or even parapalegic are worse then death to me.I'm envious of people with so called perfect lives.Even then theres a layer of underlying problematic occurances waiting to spring up.I had a very moderatly decent life justa year ago.I had a fiance who loved me,a family(parents,siblings) who respected me,loved me and were proud that my life was going well,I had a home,a car i was looking into a better car,A job paying 50-60grand a year in the south.All that and I was only 24.Now as I approach 26 I look backand despair.I'm still healthy yes But I'm no longer tan or big(I lost 30 lbs of lbm).I'm homless,jobless,single,friendless,small,pale.I got here through pride,arrogance,self-assurance and a lack of support and a rampant acute drug addiction of my ex-fiance.Plus a downturn in my job market and a ruthless backstabing friend and co-worker.
Theres an underlying current of viciousness in me I'm only now discovering.I fear to flounder in self-loathing and despair that life won't return to some semblance of normalcy.Every day i fight with bitterness and hate.I fear so much more then death.Dying and death are easy.Living is what's so very hard.The streets are ferocious.each day I'm surrounded by drug dealers,crack addicts,professional alcoholics,whores,bisexuals of both sexes,heroin addicts,panhandlers and the mentally ill.
Through all thisIi try and remain a pillar of strength.Despair and depression only lead to more despair and depression.I'm keeping hope and faith alive by trying to crawl out of this muck in which I have been so chronically cast.I try and remain a pillar of strength in the shadows of darkness and deceit.If I can survive this then I can survive anything.Death will hold no fears for me but perhaps a wellcoming comfort from the voracious hostilities that abound from all corners of life.
Never have more truer words rang out then "Only the strong survive".
