Yep, the fact that it's inevitable doesn't change that.

Yes

No, I think when you die you're just gone so I won't know anything about it

You are so right. This is exactly why I do not understand anyone's fear of death. Even IF death was final in the true atheist belief, you will not be alive to know anything about it. So how can you fear anything of which you'll be completly unaware of? :shrug:

Not at all, I look forward to it. But I am afraid of leaving behind my loved ones.

Burning in hell ?.

being afraid of death is what keeps us alive, its Darwinian

That's exactly what I do fear, not death itself as I have been very close to death itself years ago and it brings a certain calmness that it seems the body is preparing for and makes you look at things a bit differently when you survive.
But that, that is it, it could be so final if the spirit does not live on in some form, your existance for you gone, just 'pfft', what a waste it seems :( and it is that that frightens me even though that's the way it could be.

depends how you look at it I guess. Why is your life a waste just because it ends?

I think this is what motivates me to enjoy my life. Do things you wouldn't normally do, be a daredevil!

I don't want my last thoughts to be "wow, what a boring life I've had." Instead I want to be content with what I've achieved.

I have read stuff and seen stuff that has made me think it's not impossible Cherie , may we burn in hell forever together :laugh:

Aw,no Kirk as knowing me,the batteries would have ran out on the alarm:laugh:

Oh Gosh,yes coming round in the middle of an op:shocked: that's a fearful thought too and smudgie,get your ops done if you need them , they may be necessary to your well being.

:laugh: Oh - yes.

:laugh: I promise you Kaz, that if you go before me, I will abduct Gerard and ensure that he is buried alive in your coffin with you. If THAT doesn't revive you, then you are WELL and TRULY BROWN BREAD and Maggot Meat. :laugh:

:laugh: THAT sounds just the ticket Kirk, at least I will go with a smile on my face, :blush: not sure about poor Gerard though :smug:

I'm not scared of dying as such just leaving the brats, that's the worry.

I think about death sometimes, and it frightens me to the core. But I think the fear of death mostly comes from the state of where you are in life. Naturally, most of the people in this thread who have said yes are younger, which I think has part to play in that answer.

Death generally doesn't phase me, I don't think it would be healthy if it was something that worried me on a day to day basis. I think losing other people is what I fear most about death.

No not really. Unavoidable so it seems alien to me to fear it.

I'm not scared of actually being dead because yeah it might suck to be dead but it's not something I'd be aware of, once you're dead you're dead/I'd just stop existing so I couldn't spend ages afterwards wishing I was still alive or being fearful of being in that state. :laugh: I'm just scared of the way I die, I'd preferably go for something quick and painless in my sleep but I don't know if such an ideal way to go is really possible??? Or likely, I'd imagine it usually kind of hurts and that's what I'm not really looking forward too!!

It's the last? chapter in a great adventure.

Yes a bit, I don't mind not being here. I worry about how I'll die

Difficult question . Used to be indifferent, but seeing my mum and sister be crushed by losses this year has made me feel terrified of it happening early and them having to go through such an ordeal tbh.

..Leon..:hug:...just with that really, no I fear out-living more and watching my mum since my dad died and how she really died with him..he tried to make it so that she wouldn't have to worry about anything when he died, so that she was ok etc but one thing that he couldn't account for is that she would never be ok because he wasn't there..and now her mind isn't really here anymore/she hasn't got any sense of reality anymore but she's happy/happier because she doesn't feel the pain..anyway/morbid but no, I don't fear death, I fear out-living...

No
