Are you afraid of death? tell me why??

Question

I am afraid of death and was wondering what everyone else thought on the subject.

Answer 1

I am afraid of death because it is the unknown. Although hundreds upon hundreds of people claim to have had a "near-death experience" and have described those experiences in great detail, does not mean that they or we truly know what is beyond death. Only those individuals whom have cross over the threshold and who shall never return to this world are aware of what death truly is. People fear death because they don't know what lays beyond the veil.

Answer 2

i would really like to know what your answer to your own question is...
as of speaking about my self, i do fear. i am afraid of death, maily because i do not know what is it going to be like after death. secondly i am afraid of death because of what i am going to loose. Family, friends, loved ones and so on.

But still the main reason for my fear is the unknow darkness behind the death. What will happen after we die? The question with no answer! That maked me really afraid to die. But no matter how afraid i am, i am ready to face death as death is certain there is no escape.

Answer 3

No, I am not afraid of death at all. I have come very close to dying on two occasions and realize my own mortality. I am now quite comfortable with it as part of the life cycle. I also have no fears about "heaven" or "hell". I am absolutely certain that neither exists. Also, I live with Diabetes, and the reality of my mortality, every day of my life.

Answer 4

Almost everyone is.
And look closely, it is this question that wakes you up, after you fall asleep (discounting alarms, and others shake-waking you up !). If it was so , that your sleep quota was completed and so you woke, then, are there not some days you felt more sleepy after waking ? OR, if it was so, that you were well rested, and therefore you woke up, are there not days when you feel more stiff, and tired after waking than before going to sleep? People even mix up these two... sleep and rest ! That actually should give rise to a question then what wakes me up ? Well look deep and you will get the answer ! Look experientially, if you really wish to get convinced and then accept instead of blind belief.

Answer 10

There are those who say a woman's wedding day should be the happiest day of her life. Others say it should be the day when one's first child is born.

I say that the happiest day of one's life should be the day s/he dies. Because if you've lived your life well, hurt none, left no regrets, then you have a lot to look forward to at the end of that last trip.
