why are people afraid of it? it is the ultimate and inevitable in life, and the only thing you can really count on for sure, but people are all so afraid, people hide from shit like smoking and life threating acts because they wanna live longer, but why? are you planning on something? no, you just want to live, but i ask you, whats the point of living, if your not really living? not that smoking or death defying shit is living but come on, unless your goal in life is to hold the world record for oldest person, why do people play it safe with so much shit? if your religious you should believe that your goin to heaven and youll then be livin it up way better than in this reality, and if your not, when you die, you die, thats the end and thats all there is to it, but people are still afraid, are we all just a bunch of pansys going through life trying to pretend like were not?

Fuck You
 
People fear death because it is our unknown destiny. Mankind fears the unknown, and death is the final unknown. Death seems so final, and really who wants the ride to be over. I don't

 
Good point... Socrates agrees with you. No good reason to fear it just because we're not familiar with it. I agree too, but I might be a bit biased, since I'm suicidal. Here's my contribution to the argument:

Most envious man, that grieves at neighbours good,

and fond, that joyest in the woe thou hast,

Why wilt not let him passe, that hath lon stood

Upon the banke, yet wilt thy selfe not passe the flood?

He there does now enjoy eternall rest

And happie ease, which thou doest want and crave,

And further from it daily wanderest.

What is some little paine the passage have,

that makes fraile flesh to feare the bitter wave?

Is not short paine well borne, that brings long ease,

And lays the soule to sleepe in quiet grave?

Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas,

Ease after warre, death after life does greatly please.

As I was typing that out, I realized that there are maybe a dozen people on this site who'd even have half a fucking clue what it meant. Oh well.

well the scary part about dying is the fact that no one on this earth truely knows what happens. Many people claim to but we are all in the same boat. A scary thought could be that you chose the wrong religion and youll burn in eternal fire for it. The only reason I don't want to die is I still have things to conquer here on earth someday I might be peaceful with the idea but for now I'm not done. Yet, if this is our only life and there is no afterlife I really dont see much of a point. its like a piece of grass growing tall enough to be chopped down by the lawnmower.

it's not so much being dead that scares me, it's the process of dying, because it's probably going to hurt a lot

Is that pretty much it?

the thing that scares me abut death is leaving this life and having regrets about things I haven't done, I think that's the worst part about death. I can deal with dying in a painful way, that only lasts for a short time, but regretting not living my life is something that'd make dying alot harder than physical pain.

 
Understandable. However if you live life to the fullest you shouldn't have many regrets. Learn things from your shitty and bad situations, don't regret they happened. Death is scary because you'll never be able to know exactly what its like. You may be scared as shit and shaking before dropping a 35ft cliff....but you know it will be be just a little bigger then a 25ft cliff, you have some insight into your fear. The problem with fearing death spawns from the fact that we have no insight to it.

Deep down I think we all are a little scaried of dying, even if your not scaried about the process of death, it's sad thinking about leaving your friends and family.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is you should live life like there is no tomorrow, understanding that your mild fear of death is natural, don't dread it, accept it.

You have one shot, don't allow fear to be your God.

better to burn out...

...then fade away
 
im not really afraid of death at all. i just dont want it to happen quite yet, i still have things to get done on earth.

i pretty much live my life knowing that I could die at any moment. so just live it up. I'm not ready for it but i know that it's coming sometime, so why hide from it?

well I think being like 80 years old on your deathbed knowing your about to dies would be a very hard ting to go through, not death itself, as J.D._May said.

i'm not well read in philosophy or psychology or any of that at all but it seems to me that as humans we define things, assign them value, and find a purpose for them. but the hardest thing to find real purpose for would be yourself and dying without the knowledge of why youve lived or what youve contributed would be pretty damn depressing. so theres the fear of that, the fear of loss, the fear of pain, or just straight up impatience... in knowing that youre goign to die but you have to put up with a lot of crap before you get there ( i would assume if youre talking about the fear of death you are just discarding anything good in your life). that said... bring it on... russian roulette anyone?
