Poll: Are you afraid of Death ?

[llew]

nope, i quite literally laugh at death, i cannot recall a near death experience where i havent creeped my friends out by laughing, ive only had about 5 or 6 of these but each time i laughed... i need help...

 

[Denamic]

Yes and no, I guess.
I don't want to die, but I don't go around fearing death either.
It's pretty pointless since I don't know when I'm going to die.
Plus, once I'm dead, I won't care anyway.

 

[Phototoxin]

It's the ultimate experiment..

 

[Sangreal Gothcraft]

death = Orgasm

 

[Mr Grey]

I don't fear death, but I am in no hurry to embrace it.

Living seems a much better option for the time being.

 

[Shreddie]

I'm definitely afraid of death. I know that death is inevitable so I don't let the fear control my life, but I do find the thought of no longer existing to be rather disturbing.

 

[Jakub324]

Kind of, but not to the point where I'd sacrifice others for my life. I don't want to die, but I'm not petrified by the thought either.

 

[RobCoxxy]

I will admit I am. I imagine it as just sleeping forever without dreaming, just darkness forever never to wake up again. Every time I think about it I cringe and just try to take my mind off of it.

This. I just don't want to "end".
It won't be sleeping. You won't remember anything or feel anything.

I feel cold just typing so imma stop early.

 

[CrashBang]

Yes, terrified. I want to see as much as possible. I hate the idea of dying and my friends and family continuing to see and experience discoveries and inventions that I won't, as will everyone who lives after I die. I don't want to miss out on anything.
It sounds incredibly selfish when I read it back but it's how I feel so... meh.

I do not fear death. Not one bit. In fact, it seems a rather interesting and exciting prospect; getting to know beyond a shadow of a doubt what happens next.

...it's just getting there that terrifies me. I hate pain!

...But I view death as much like a cold pool;

... it's fine, once you're in.

Just saw this, and yes, that's almost exactly what it's like for me.

 

[David Bray]

Death is a natural part of life and all creatures must pass through it. Despite this, i want to live, i have so much to accomplish before i pass on

 

[bruggs]

I think there's a distinction between being accepting of death and being afraid of it.

If someone holds a knife to your throat, you are afraid because you know you may die.

If you watch a scary film, you are afraid because you think the bogeyman is going to come for you in the night and eat you, which is definitely fatal.

But some people can accept death as inevitable, as a well-deserved rest, even as the beginning of a new life.

Personally, I think it sucks balls. It's not really my thing, and I'm going to do my best to avoid it.

 

[Evilsanta]

I bet this has already been said, But I am to lazy to look for it in 7 pages of replies.

I am not afraid of death, it's the dying part that I am afraid of.

 

[rammst13n]

no, i am not afraid of dieing, even though there is a lot i havent done in my life, life sucks so i wouldnt mind to leave it

 

[The_Echo]

I'm so fucking scared of death.

Mostly, it's the uncertainty about it all. I don't know what's going to happen. I believe there is some form of an afterlife (I don't know what), but at the same time, what if there isn't? I don't want to just go out like a light one day and stay out.

I guess it's more about the possibility of there not being an afterlife than anything. Maybe I'm not so much afraid of death as I am afraid of nonexistence. I'd seriously take a Circle of Hell over nonexistence.

Anyway, I'm just going to end the post here, this topic is giving me the heebily-jeebilies.

 

[ParadoxHunter]

I do not fear death. If anything, I am curious to find out what it feels like. Death is an inevitability, so there is no point in fearing it. Death is the only thing on this Earth that only you can find out about. No one can tell you what death feels like, you have to experience it for yourself.

It would be a shame to prematurely leave this life without doing everything I wanted to do, but at the same time, it would be answering one of my most burning questions earlier than anticipated. So, no matter what happens, death shall not be feared by me, nor shall the occasion be a sad one. I may even be tempted to write in my last will to tell everybody not to cry at my funeral. I will die happy, and my procession shall follow suit.

 

[StBishop]

This is what I saw here:

[...]But even though, death is inevitable , alot of people still fear it .

I could read no further.

 

[FalloutJack]

Me? Afraid of Death? [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MBS40SWcBc0/TR_16UljgEI/AAAAAAAABls/ixnb16x3b7E/s1600/Death_of_the_Endless_by_robtheR0B0T.jpg] Never.

Wow, thats scary. Looks like my ex who even used to say "peachy keen" all the time.
Guess I was right when I called her a soul sucking *****.

OT: Yup, I can not sleep in silence and prefer not to sleep alone because when its dark and quiet at night I start thinking about not existing for the rest of eternity and come close to panicking.

Fair enough, but that's a character from Neil Gaiman's comic, The Sandman, and definitely not like your ex.

 

[krazykidd]

I believe in God, so no, but I certainty wouldn't welcome it at this age, I still have to much to do / experience

But if I die, Hello Heaven!

And what if heaven isn't real I hear you say? Well, I'll be dead. If heaven isn't real I wont be experiencing anything after death, it's not like I will be conscious to regret anything so..

But if you believe in heaven then you must also believe in hell . Wouldn't it be a shame to think all this time you will enter the pearly gates and get refused access?

 

[krazykidd]

Spoiler: What, you mean this guy?

Nah, not really.

On a more serious note, yes. Death terrifies me in a way that would be impossible to explain to other people. I would give anything to be immortal.

Being immortal eh ? Think about what that would mean , you would spend you life watching other people die , family , friends , children , spouses. An endless cycle . Also you would still be able to feel pain , sadness , anger and other emotions . Life would lose all meaning , don't you think?
