Do you fear death?

I'm scared of death, yes. I'm even more afraid of how I might die.

The thing is, everyone says how since death is inevitable, you shouldn't be afraid of it. I understand the logic there, but that's not quite perfect. Just because something is inevitable doesn't mean it can't be frightening.

If it was confronting me, I'd probably just accept it, ideally with a wry comment and a final sardonic smile (I wish, I'd probably beg like the coward I am). But to be honest, I don't really "fear" death, I just don't particularly want it to happen.

I don't fear it some much as I fear that it'll be insignificant

 

I'm too much of a big ham to be able to die quietly 

 

Also, I really want to go out with a smile, but one that says that I'm still the victor

 

 

I do not fear death. In fact, I am actually moreso intrigued to find out what exactly happens when we pass on. Though this is coming from someone that a psychiatrist deemed as a highly likely murderer, so I guess this is to be expected.

 

 

I find it a little worrying that I've actually considered suicide just to see what would be on the other side

 

Not that I'd have to balls to do it or anything

 

But considering is pretty fucked up too

You're not alone in the last bit, so dont worry.

I figured I had too much that I'd be giving up in this life though, and my life was slowly getting better around the time that I was considering.

But yeah, I dont think it's that f*cked up. A little worrying, but not f*cked up. I reckon lots of people have considered it for that reason.

Given that our perspectives of life and death are interconnected and both affect our lives, why paint the reaper grim? Why be a victim of reverance to outcomes that we have no means of knowing to be any closer to the truth than those that we'd be the most comfortable with?

I see death as only affecting us on certain levels. Our hearts, minds, and bodies are stopped, but there is a part of us that is immortal and in so being it is infinitely more significant. This is not speculation, it is a fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed. That same energy is a part of us while we live, why would this cease to be the case after? What's more, every living thing on this earth is united in being conduits for energy. Why not identify with that? Why not take credit for being one with the immortal force that drives existence?
