Are you afraid of death???????

Answer 1

look everybody is afraid of death whether they tell you they are or not, the thing about it is that unless you have been put in a life or death situation most people don't think about it that often and really cant give you a truthful answer. myself i can truthfully say that I'm afraid to die i have been in situations in Afghanistan and Iraq that have put this fear in me, i have also seen the fear of death on the faces of my friends wounded, some of which are born again Christians. so when people are telling you they don't fear death, they have never looked death in the face.

Answer 2

To be frank, Yes! Death is something, we all love not to speak about. However, I wish to ask something else here.

Were you, I and the others afraid of getting born, when we actually did so? If not then why should we dread so much regarding getting annihilated someday?

Someone has rightly suggested the following regarding death: "Death is not the dark and unthinkable end to our lives, the way we all have known about it. If at all, it should be called the pinnacle of life...the completion of a musical note that you can begin to appreciate finally."

In other words, death is perhaps the life beyond "life we all know and live here", and the one perhaps we were part of earlier too :)

Answer 3

No.

If one is living and/or has lived their life to the best of their ability, death is not anything to be afraid of. Even without that, it can't be any worse. It's simply another path on the journey all must take.

"Fear of the unknown" is what creates the stigma, but then again.... Are you afraid of what's going to happen tomorrow? Or 2 hours from now? How is THAT any different?

Answer 4

yes, I am afraid of death.
Actually I am afraid of the pain and suffering at the time of death more than death itself.
Also I am afraid that I might not be able to achieve some of the things I want to do before I die -like making sure my son goes to college and my wife is in good health and I have visited all the places on earth I would like to visit. etc.,

Answer 5

In our life time we are given many great opportunities for adventure. Some people take the challenges others shy away from them. As for myself, nothing beats a new adventure, or a chance to explore the unknown. No one knows what really happens when we die, because those that die can't tell us about it. So NO! I don't fear death, it will truly be the last great adventure a mortal will ever experience.

Answer 6

Afraid of death? No way. It's the sheer lack of existence that goes with death that really creeps me out!

Answer 7

I am not afraid of death.... I believe that in death you go home.. your life and purpose has been completed. The only thing I fear is not being able to sufficiently provide for my children if something were to happen to me while they were still young. Granted I have 500G worth of life insurance policies... however, I want to live as long as possible to see them grow. but if, tomorrow is my time..... so be it!

Answer 8

In 1971...I rolled an old station wagon...after hitting a tree the size of a telephone pole....up rooted it...rolled the station wagon 11 times....a fence was down...and a calf came out of the pasture... I swerved to miss the calf...I was declared dead...for 3 minutes...55 seconds...I was legally dead....I know where I am going....know my personal purpose...and also know when I will pass on to the other side...I don't fear death at all in fact I look forward to it....we only fear what we don't understand....

Answer 9

I think I am. It is one of those unknowns that you do all by yourself, in the sense it's a 'trip' you take without anyone with you. As much as I have religious faith and a belief in life after death, it's still frightening.

Answer 10

Probably. I'm from the U.S. where we teach our children to fear death because it's only going to happen in a vicious way or hide them from the frank reality that we one day die. We treat almost all aspects of death as taboo.
