I am afraid of dying before I procreate. |
|
---o--- my DCs say I'm dreamy.
Halucinations happen alot of times at the moment of death, or at death. Heard of NDE's? It may not be why people are afraid of death, but it ties to death. |
|
ur rite it does tie to death. but not this topic which is the fear of death. im just trying to understand why u said it if it was irelevant |
|
No, I'm excited for it. Death is the most mysterious thing and either my soul will stop existing in which case I couldn't be able to care. OR something really different from my every day life would happen: the discovery of the afterlife. Don't get me wrong. i want to stay alive for as long as I can. Dying might seperate me from the people I love which is what I hate, however, even if I don't die, they will die, ending up in seperation anyways. Dying is obligatory so why not? |

I was reading a magasine in which there was 7 ways, scientifics had thought of making us immortal, some of them just making you live just a bit longer. however there was one that has the potential to work. It was about how if they could find cells that could help recreate your heart or brain if damaged (or anything else). We had been talking about such stuff in science class and I know that its possible, it will just take a while for scientifics to discover how to do that. Finding that out creeped me out. Knowing that we could become immortals just scared me because, what if this stops us from living our lives? What if there's a whole path of lives we're suppose to live to become better and more experienced people? What if by becoming immortal, we do not accomplish are destiny in other lives that follow this one? So I just thought that if they invent that technology when I'm still alive, i will refuse it and let myself die whenever it comes so i can go on with the path of my life. |

I'm not afraid of death, I sometimes even can't wait to see what's there. lol |
|
I'm afraid of dying, but not of death or being dead for I believe that death will be the same as the nonexistence as before I was born. |
|
Somebody had already quoted Mark Twain in this thread. I feel the same as you, however I think we only feel like this because we aren't dying. If we were, then we'd be pretty damn scared to cease to exist forever. It's hard to even imagine such a thing. When I try I can only come up with black nothingness, as if you still exist but in black nothingness, real non-existence can't even be imagined. Maybe that's why it's not scary |

She did say she was scared of dying. I mean, I'd be f***** scared if I was dying from somebody killing me or in an accident but if I die from age, than it might not be that scary... |

The same here Once you think of it, it seems that we live senselessly and strive for senseless goals. A very frustrating feeling... |
|
The reason I'm not scared is that its going to happen. There is NO way I'm not gonna die and even if I have the choice to be immortal or to die, I'd chose to die. It is impossible that I won't die so why would I worry? Seriously, if I'm gonna stop existing, better make my life the best it can be. Imagine that: |

I am telling the truth. I have no fear whatsoever of death. So your statement that "everybody is terrified of death" is incorrect. |

What kind of question is this? Of course i'm afraid of death, and I'll do almost anything to avoid it.... |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
That was a very interesting story. Thanx for sharing. I like when people share their life stories that made them think in a particular way. I can only marvel at how you reacted to that movie, I myself never had the same reaction to this topic! |

Thanks. i like it too when people do that, that's why I do it |

I see what you mean, but that's not entirely close to loss of personality imho. At least I think that it's closer to think that there's only one you, so you can't observe yourself fading away with sadness. That wouldn't be scary, it's like watching somebody falling asleep. What is scary is when it's you who's falling asleep like that, when you lose an ability to observe or to think. I certainly don't want to lose it... It doesn't "scare" me out of my wits, but it's dreadful. Such things like looking are so basic that we never think of them, you don't really know what's good till it's gone, they say. But to lose an ability to observe would be like losing eyesight. Imagine that you won't be able to look around anymore, to see things visually, nobody would want that to happen. And then you'd lose an ability to even realize that you can't see anything, an ability to think. Ugh... I feel like it's not something happening to another person and you can watch it from the outside perspective, it's like the whole world ceases to exist with you. Everything is gone, absolutely everything. |

I think that all the NDEs ever reported ... added to a dream I had that I met with a dying relative, which I told other people about that morning, and was confirmed 3 days later ... is enough evidence for me personally to rationally call an afterlife of some sort pretty likely. |
|
I aggree that the moment you die would be a bit scary... But seriously, why are talking as if we;re gonna cease existing? There's no proof of that. I think we should believe in an afterlife. We shall believe blindly that there is an afterlife. However we must not rely on this afterlife. We must still enjoy this life. Believing in an after life will destroy your worries and whatever is true, when you die, you won't feel as if your dying but as if your going to your next life wherever it must be. If you do, than good. However, if you don't you won't know and you still will die happily thinking you still have a future, |

Like SCD said, no I am not afraid. Sad? Yes. Afraid? No. Not in the slightest. Are you relieved that all the time you spent experiencing nothingness before you were born is now over? If the state of nothingness were something to fear or dislike then technically you would be. |
