İ am afraid and always have been since I was a lıttle kid---to thıinkof everythıng dısdappearıng--goıng black--and never ever returnıng agaın--all my experıuences and memorıes and words and actıons. To me thıs ıs terrıfyıng. I am not afraıd of Hell---I am afraıd of total nothıngness forevermore, forevermore, AND NOT TO KNOW.
That's why I say to people live life to the full, remember we are all going to die we can't say when orQuote:

It used to worry me when i was a kid but now I'm not really bothered.
I don't want to Die but its gonna happen to us all so I'm not gonna worry about something I have no control over.
I don't want to tempt fate but my own death does not concern me anywhere near as much as the thought of loved-one's deaths.
I got a friend who constantly thinking of death a what will happened after death! But he calmed down lately!Quote:

I don't mind if I die tomorrow or the next day after that! So far I had one hell of a life! Of course I don't want to die but something might go wrong anytime so just make sure you do be proud of what you did and had!
Try to not think about it as I said, well who am I to talk, ain't got 1000 posts yet ;)

I just dont want to have to come back here again. I hope its my last visit, 3d is somewhat restrictive, its better than 2d or 1d though.
its worried me every day since I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel
I am more concerned with family members leaving me. I have been lucky that I haven't lost many relatives in my life so far but I know as I get older it's more likely to happen and it scares me not knowing how i will deal with it.
I don't think about myself dying very often but I find this very weird....If I have been drinking on a Saturday night (for example) and I have a bad hang over on the Sunday, when I finally go to bed that night I can't help thinking about dying and it terrifies me to the point I have to get up and watch tv to take my mind off it. I have no idea why but I find it strange it only happens with a hangover. :-\
This the same for anyone else?
Great cheerful thread :p
Your fear is natural and shows that you truly value life. Whether you believe in Karma or that this life is all there is, you will merely be returning from where you came. Before you were here you had no knowledge of this place, if you did then your existence itself means nothing. You will just be returning to that state. It is easy to feel mournful for the loss of beauty and joy but a wise man in India once said that the meaning of life is suffering. To live is to desire and to desire is to suffer, for in this life all things are transitory and attachment to this is what causes us pain. That attachment will be broken and the pain will go.Quote:

The cowled ones scythe can never bring more fear than that which we create ourselves. Let it go and be at peace.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never no what your going to get, too true my friends people askQuote:

in something if it's god or what ever. By the way run Forest run.;D
Simply because alcohol is a depressant I'd say. Same for me.Quote:

I used to have an irrational fear death when I was a kid, but the older i've gotten, I just see death as inevitable, so I really don't worry about it. My main concern these days is making sure that when i'm gone, my wife is well taken care of financially, as a result I keep my finances in order, along with having several large Life Insurance policies.
I would describe myself as being very passionate about my life rather than afraid of death.
I am not really scared by the idea to die and to become nothing if particles (because I don't believe in God or in another life) but I am not at ease with the idea to potentially not see anymore those who matters to me (which also logically means) that I am sure not ok at all with the idea of losing those I love and that I am concerned by that though I know that I have absolutely no powers over it.
dont ever take one before drinking!!!Quote:

The way I figure, when your time comes there's nothing you can do about it, so you may as well try to die like a man.Quote:

"When I die, I want to die like my grandfather -- who died peacefully in his sleep, not screaming like all the passengers in his car."
What bothers me about dying is I know I'm gonna run into at least a couple of muthafukkas from here outside the gates of heaven trying to sneek in. And I know one of ya'll is gonna fuck up and get everybody caught.
Unfortunately there are as many people afraid of just living as they are of dying. The biggest concern and pain is with the ones we leave behind. I don't fear death as there isn't a thing I can do about it. Day to day and living in the moment is what we can.
A Bob Monkhouse classic there ;DQuote:

Am I afraid to die? Not really, I do what I can in this life with fits and starts. Some days I really feel satisfied in what I have done. Then I get the days of despondency where my mind and hope fails me. I want to keep on living and have more of those controlled satisfied days. The cliff edge days could be fewer in number. So no I am not afraid to die at all. Most people could never consider suicide which is murder, just murder of the self. They recoil because the thought is far too hideous to face and they would rather not know or run a mile if they did see.
I'm an odd one because I always seem to be so down on life and what it hits you with, but really when life is good it is very good. Wonderful in fact. I have long spells of living like that. For me it can turn though and when it is rough I do take it the extremes and to the horrors of all around me. It takes a lot to get through on those occasions. The despair and alienation in a frame of mind like that is one where that inevitability could potentially occur. Afraid of death at a point like that? Certainly much less so.
I don't want to die and would sooner have the content me take me through to an older age, but when the time comes I am ready for it. It was always going to happen and we are rapidly getting there. There is nothingness beyond and I am cool with that. In fact that would be quite the relief.
Stabbed 3 times, severe head injuries from knuckle duster and had side of my throat cut with knife ( 2-3 cm the other way and jugular)...
Not anymore to be honest.
I just hope it is no painful scary death: burning building, drowning, a fall from a tall building, get stabbed, eaten by a shark, etc. :o
many thx 2 all and 2 all a good nıte.
do not be afraıd then
that ıs what I lernt
unless ın Hell I'm burnt

My late Father-in-law, had his wish the way he wanted to die sudden, he got out of the chair bang
that was it, shock for all us but he had his wish quick and painless I hope.
He was a great guy, I miss him a better Father in law you could not have.
I sure would like to chop your head off If I had the chance. :cool:Quote:

I do fear death but want to build a huge legacy for my kids and the next generation but in order to do that I have to live life to its full and that means not always thinking about money.
We could turn this thread around and ask how would you want to die. Manny Steward had his family around him and they were singing. That sounds like a pleasant way to go but i would want to be 112 years old at the time.
I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to.
My family singing would be an utterly horrific sound.Quote:

It was about a girl who was lam, 27 years old and have been lam almost her whole life, she couldn't do anything by her self, she was constantly in need of someone. I'm not quote sure how they talked to each other, but she could express herself somehow and she told the doctors that she wanted to die and that she don't want to suffer anymore, but the Swedish government disapproved her wishes and they would claim the one who killed her, and he or she would be off to jail as a murder. It was something like this and this had me thinking.
All those old/sick people who can't do anything by them self. So i think we want to die at some point, we are curious what's on the other side and someday we have to give up!
That's pretty damn sad though'
You see, I think it tends to be more the oposed; when you'Re older, that you have build a legacy, a family and experienced a lot, you want to live to continue to enjoy these things. Younger people tend to care much less about death (from my experience, at least) because they have nothing to lose; they haven't built much, aren't owning much thing and tend to see death as a very distant concept as they are young and have in theory much more in front of them rather than behind like older folks have.Quote:

When you don't have much to lose and when death is only blowing in the far distance, it's easy to not be afraid of her but when you do have something to lose and could feel her coming, it's all another song.
Same as car bodies. Dealers deal with it.;)Quote:
