Yes, it's true that death is inevetible. That doesn't mean it's irrational to fear it, the thought of losing everything, not being able to see anyone you know, everything, gone. Not many people find that to be the least bit unsettling...

I do not fear death; it is inevitable. I fear specific ways of dying.
That's how I'd put it. I'm scared of drowning, or sufficating. They are horrible ways to go.
Burning is the worst, your skin is burned off then your muscle, you die once your muscles are burning... Or having your limbs chopped off while sitting in a bath tub of salt water while sombody slowly skins you.
I think you mean lemon juice. OUCH.

Death? Met him in a bar once. Good guy. Great sense of humor. Also really good at chess.

Anyhow, I don't fear dying in any way. I'll likely be hopped up on enough natural adrenaline to seem so when the time comes, but the worst I'll truly feel is disappointment that I didn't have longer. It'll be a minor quip, though, and I'll be packed and ready to go when the time comes.

No, either or works the same. For true 'ouch' factor you use a mixture of salt water, lemon juice, and concentrated battery acid. Don't ask how I know this.

I don't.. Not really..

You see.. I'm kind of excited to see the afterlife.. I mean, I have said many times before my theory on reincarnation, and I kinda want to see if I'm correct. Just like how an inventor, who put all his faith and work wants to see if the device he's built works..

Yes, I understand that I won't be able to tell anyone about it or anything, but just me myself knowing whether I am right or wrong in death would be good enough for me.

People say no now, but in the face of death I really doubt so many of you would be so calm.

I would say kinda. I accept the fact that when I gotta go, I gotta go, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't fight tooth and nail to stay alive.

It's basic human instinct to fear death. One of our prime functions.

Mmm, I too have this kind of mindset. (Not the reincarnation, although I keep an open mind) I'd like to see if there is afterlife or not, but the reason I fear death is because, maybe there is no afterlife, maybe if there is, it's worse than living. I will probably be willing to die when I've had a full life and am ready to take the inevetible risk.

If it's like sleep, you don't remember sleep unless you dream, but you won't dream, so you won't remember, so you won't notice

However....Death Bad. My Life Good. Want My Life. No Death.

I don't fear the Reaper.

Sure, I'm gonna die some day but so does everyone...I'm probably going to go out doing something epic so why the hell should I be scared?

I did have my worst death thought in a .txt file, but I think I lost it when I reinstalled my hard drive a few years back. I recall it being pretty damn bad, and intricate....

Death is whatever you think it is. I would imagine death to be the same as the one in the discworld series, he is awesome in that.

Death is inevitable and everybody fears it on some level
You can be ready for death but denying the fear of it is pointless.
With out fear humankind could never survive.

Fear is also a double edged sword that if uncontrolled will destroy... and denying the fear is another way of letting it control you.

Of course I do, I don't want to die, it's inevitable (or, untill we develop technologies) but...It is installed into us, no?

The though of it makes me feel sick, leaving everyone I love behind...BUT, JUST...Dieing.

Yes, I do fear death, to be honest to me it seems like the only thing worth fearing. Everything else is only temporary.

But there's a famous quote that's useful around now;
"Fear is the enemy, fear is the only enemy."​

Bearing that in mind, I can at lest deal with death.

True, it is inevetible. It's the end, most likely the end of everything to a person. I can't see why so many people here don't fear it much just because it is inevetible. Not that not fearing it is bad, it's great actually. You'll be ready when the time comes, and I probably will aswell. As for now though, I still have a so-so fear of the end.
