Why do you fear death?

[stonethered]

Math reason: Living=Fun, Fun=/=Sucks, so Not Living=Sucks

Actually, I think that should be elaborated slightly.
If death = not + living, and living =fun, then death = not + fun. Which allows us to safely assume that, provided living does in fact equal fun, death is not fun.


That aside, I don't particularly fear death. As I see it, death is just a law of the universe. All things with a begining have an ending. If you are born, then you will inevitably die.
I believe that there is a heaven, and a merciful God. I consider him to be MY God, and have faith that when I die, through some wierd way of things(likely involving a very advanced form of bending) I will be permitted to live with him in his kingdom.
I haven't quite worked out the bending part, but I figure if he knows how to not begin he also knows how to not end.


Although, I'd rather not die just yet. There are certainly things out there I'd like to do first.

I fear death because I don't know what it entails. My consciousness has every possibility of moving on, or dissolving into absolutely nothing. I would honestly take eternal damnation over ceasing to exist.

I fear dying because of the proximity to death, and because it could possibly be very painful or otherwise terrible.

Now I'm going to leave this thread and watch Adventure Time to forget about this subject.

I don't fear death, I fear dying.

I like that, that is a very good answer
I will use that answer as my serious answer, but heres my joke one

OT:
because hes a little PUSSY who would rather kill you when your not looking then face you like a man XD
he thinks hes so tough just because he has unfathomable intellect and the power to end all of creation...WELL BRING IT ON MAN, THROW THE FIRST PUNCH!!!

Cuz then you have to respawn, which hurts.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Partly fear of the unknown, partly the fact that I've come to rather enjoy living.

I don't fear death. I fear dying. Dying is painful and everything...but death isn't bad. You don't feel anything. You can't regret that your life has ended.

 

[Mcupobob]

I don't fear, I just try not to think about it. It's going to happen wither or not I want it too, so why stress?

 

[helldragonX]

I don't fear death. Everyone has to die sometime, why should I fear the inevitable.

 

[strum4h]

Because from a scientific standpoint my brain will die and everything I was will be nothing. Whatever is after that I cannot possibly conceive.

 

[Lacsapix]

I do not fear death..
every single human however fears dying (human instinct).

 

[KingTiger]

I do not fear my own death....its the death of a loved one, family members or friend that I fear the most.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I fear that there is nothing after death.

In other words, I fear that I will cease to exist.

 

[Mr.Mudkip]

I fear that there is nothing after death.

In other words, I fear that I will cease to exist.

And that is the exact reason I do not fear death.

 

[Mr.Mudkip]

I fear that there is nothing after death.

In other words, I fear that I will cease to exist.

And that is the exact reason I do not fear death.

Well, to be fair, that is not the entire reason. I also have a fairly fatalistic view towards death.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

My only fear about death is that it will come before I can embrace it. There are so many things that I want to do, to accomplish before I leave this reality. My beliefs might be or might not be right but that is irrelevant. I want to create a positive impact on this world before I go.

When I've done everything on my list, I will wait for death and greet it like a friend.

 

[Direwolf750]

Why fear death. It's the end. After it there's just nothing. Why should I be scared of nothing? Why shouldn't I be scared of wasting what time I DO have? Like posting on a forum...wait...

 

[Crazycat690]

I don't fear death, in fact I will welcome it when the time comes. Of course I don't walk around wanting to die I just don't think it's bad. When I look at the world today I feel bad because it sucks and there's nothing I can do about it, I love my family and I'm still to see my parents die, there's so much to worry about I like the idea that there's nothing after you die, just eternal rest, nothing. If I would find myself in heaven after death I will be fucking pissed off, maybe hell instead, since I don't have nerves I can possibly feel pain so I'm ok with that.

But I'd rather have that "nothing" unless I can spend an eternity with my family

Fear of the inevitable? Please... It happens to everyone, so why be afraid?
Now, wanting it to happen? Not really I am enjoying life (sometimes) so I really don't want to go quite yet. I might even challenge Death to a 1v1 MW2 match for a 2nd chance ala Bill and Ted 2.
Fear of the unknown? I go into every day not knowing just what might happen, so I definitely don't fear the unknown.
Fear of becoming nothing? If we don't have souls and everything fades to black when we die, then why should I fear? I wouldn't know what hit me anyway.
So no, I don't fear death. Probably because I've already died and it wasn't anything special so...
