are you afraid of death

[8evergo]

I think death is part of life and for me death is a part of the other world.
I am not afraid of death
I kiss death and look forward to her

Are you afraid of death write your opinion

 

[BigPP]

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of dying, if that makes sense. I just don't want it to hurt or last too long, and I'm sure I'll send myself into a panic attack as I'm dying. But I'm fine with death, I look forward to being no more. I need an instant death, and I'll be fine

 

[nosurpries]

i would be lying if i said i wasn't afraid of the unknown of what happens after death, but it can't be worse than the agony of living. i hope its just silence and peace.

 

[WhatPowerIs]

We're always told "life is short" but honestly life doesn't feel short enough. No I'm not scared and I've made peace with it.

 

[brood]

Definitely not afraid of death, I'm more than ready for it. I'm also looking forward to carrying out the actual act of suicide.

 

[endmypain]

I am afraid to die but I have to

 

[Niirvana]

I am afraid to continue living, I know that after death there is nothing, only a deep and beautiful silence

who knows, and if so, it doesn't matter

Same. I don't afraid of death but I'm afraid of the dying process. For me, death is nothingness. Oblivion. It sounds too good to be true so I sometimes question whether death really is the end, which honestly terrifies me.

Unknown?

The argument of what happens when you die never made sense to me, we all know what happens. What is being dead? It means you are not alive. We have all been not alive before. If you want to know what happens after death, just look at what was happening before life. It's the same thing, nothing.

 

[outrider567]

Since my girlfriend died, no I don't fear death at all

 

[LifeQuitter2018]

When it comes to suicide, I have more fear in the failure of the act and what happens after death rather than the death process itself.
Still I would prefer methods that are quick and less painful.

 

[Darkover]

i have no fear of ceasing to exist altogether what i fear is how i go from being alive to dead

We also went from not alive to alive. I assume the cycle continues and we perceive no downtime. The idea of starting over bothers me more than dying.

 

[houseofleaves]

No. I'm sure that what awaits me is either good (like meeting my loved ones) or nothing (eternal un-existence).

 

[ATM]

No I want to be dead. Problem is as others state is the dying bit.

 

[OnlySleep]

I don't feel like I'm afraid of death, but I feel weird about eternal non-existence. I think I would welcome it though, if that's all there is after death. Not as a preference though, I do hope that we live more than one life.

i have no fear of ceasing to exist altogether what i fear is how i go from being alive to dead

I am afraid of this though. That's why my chosen method is N and I won't go for anything else. Voluntarily anyway.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

Not afraid but afraid of doing anything to make it happen … I just want it overtake me

 

[Flying Away]

No. Need to build up to Thursday. That will be my final day hopefully. Only one thing could save me but not happening.

 

[houseofleaves]

which things, if it's not a secret?

 

[ge0rge]

totally. i mean, i find it difficult to separate the process of dying from death itself. i'm afraid of pain and of some kind of moral consequence for sure.

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I do not fear death at all, all that I want is to not exist. Instead I fear this horrible existence as there is no limit as to how much pain we can feel and I also fear the method failing. I believe death to be eternal nothingness, when we die, we cease to exist and that is it for us, we are gone, so to me there is nothing to fear. Death would solve all my problems and it would prevent the chance of things getting much worse. Our only purpose as humans is to die anyway and death is inevitable for us all so it should never be feared.

 

[Nothingtoadd]

No but had some near death experience 15 to 25 years ago

I'm afraid death might not be the end of consciousness. Nonexistence only scares the animal inside of me, not my analytical mind that understands that lack of sensation can't possibly be a bad thing, it's neutral, not that I wouldn't prefer a neverending existence full of positive sensations in its place, but who's gonna give me that? There's no universal law that states you must be happy, in your life or in a possible afterlife, if death is not the end.

The universe is ruled by crude natural forces which are indifferent to the well being of the minds they create,
in other words the cosmos isn't ruled by a benevolent god that cares about your future or the future of any living being, evidence of that is that human beings have been torturing and enslaving animals for centuries just because of their intellectual superiority. And even before humans life wasn't that great, dozens or more of millions of years of animals being eaten alive, dying of cold, disease, or and being tortured in countless ways by predators and or the environment. A benevolent intelligent force should've intervened at the very beginning of this game called life if they existed and cared.

If a god or intelligent force at the top of the food chain (aliens, spirits etc.) exists he is by definition malevolent,
since he doesn't intervene, and if he wants to intervene, but he can't, then he is of no use to our future here or in the next life anyway

your life can be good (rich man)
or bad (burned alive guy on bestgore .com)
and that's all due to luck.
If you think you deserve what you have because of your hard work, think about all the beings that also worked hard but got a different result.
Think about the beings that wanted work hard, but didn't have the opportunity due to a circumstantial limitation in their life, such as being physically disabled.

Nobody deserves anything, good or bad.
If you work hard and you pass your math exam,
it's only because you don't have the brain of someone that's mentally retarded. Everything of value that you have can be traced down to luck. Luck that gave rise to the set of causes that conduced to the existence of your comfort.

If the set of causes that created my personal theater of mind happen again, they might recreate my consciousness in a deplorable state. A nightmare that would last forever.

I don't want to be eaten by lions.

But neither this malevolent god nor nature cares

Nonexistence sounds too good to be true in a universe - reality that could be infinite.

Infinite in everything

The only things that reality might not have
are things that violate the laws of logic

My consciousness clearly is possible and logical since it happened and I'm talking to you,
so why can't it happen a second time?
Because that possibility scares you?
You think nature gives a sjhit?

 

[Nothingtoadd]

I decided to end life one and a half month before but somehow i told that a known person after that I decided to no to commit suicide but now I think i shouldn't have done that

 

[Nohopejoe]

I'm not really afraid of death at all, but I am a Christian and I am afraid for my salvation. I guess if I was a good Christian I would have better faith in my salvation. But I've been so let down in life that I have very little faith in anything.

 

[przeciwwymiotne]

I am afraid to die but I have to

Why do you have to?

 

[Deleted member 847]

No but had some near death experience 15 to 25 years ago

What did you see in it?
Don't tell me if you don't feel like it (or if you want to keep it to yourself)
I was just curious
These things really fascinate me.

I was never fully convinced that they were all mere hallucinations.
I've even had a few "paranormal" experiences myself (guessing a 3 digit number
being the most impressive out of all of them, being a 1 in 1000 chance, but it could've just been luck)

There's quite a few anecdotes out there that if correct would prove the existence of an immaterial mind.
Not saying an immaterial mind would be a good thing. Souls existing or not, zebras are still going to get eaten by lions tomorrow.
People are still going to be poor and miserable etc.
I think the most impressive pieces of potential evidence are the accounts of people being able to accurately describe what was going on around them on the operation table
with their eyes covered and in a state with very little brain activity left)

I fell from a big tree and my head hit a concrete slab but i became unconscious, next time also fell from a tree hitting chest on ground had breathing issues for few minutes. Fell in a river some how managed to managed to move with the current and reached a safe area.Fell from a bike on the road speeding bus coming behind me managed to break otherwise tyres would have crushed me.I never experienced any unnatural activities during these times.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I thought you meant something else.
"I fell from a tree and I became unconscious"
Yep, I've had something similar to that.
Hanged myself and the next second (actually four minutes or something, but I was unconscious during them so it was a second to me) all I know is that I'm on the floor.
