Life is a gift that we should be thankful of. we shouldn't be afraid of it, even though it causes us some uncertainties and insecurities. After life, we'll die and we'll go either to heaven or to hell where we will spend eternity.
Life is a chance to become a human, to feel different sorts of emotions and to feel love which is the greatest thing on earth.

This is a hard question to answer, in some ways yes I am afraid to be alive in our world today, the corruption seems to just keep getting worse and worse. We are dividing the United States into two groups the mentally ill and the non mentally ill. Those who will just admit that they are mentally ill can get any need that they might have met, housing, food, money, clothes, work, drugs and medical care, any thing almost and those that won't admit that can't seem to make ends meet and the government is taking their money for taxes and then not giving any of it back to them. It is wrong. So am I afraid to be alive today, yes, but I am not afraid of it either because I am going to live as long as I can I hope and try to change these things. Poverty is not a mental illness and neither is drug addiction or alcoholism, and these things cause the biggest majority of problems in our world. One can not say that they would ban this or that, because banning stuff only causes more difficult issues. One can expose the corruption for what it is.
Life is what we do and answers your other question what are we here for, we are here for a purpose. Not every one figures their purpose out, but that still does not mean that they don't have one all of us do. When we find the aha moments in life that help us to really figure these things out we are smart to try to listen to them. Some of these are really hard and we don't want to and that is why it is easy to find ways to tune them out even if it is psychiatric drugs or whatever it might be. Still no matter the pain tells us what we are here for and if we will breathe in and breathe out long enough to let it pass and move us into the next step and we all find out what that is we will and do get past it and many of us do some thing constructive with it at that point. Failure is not evil, it is only a process in learning and life.
If I ever really figure out what life is all about I will try to tell you, that is an answer that I don't think any one has ever really had. Some things in this life are not meant to be known and never will be, no one has any crystal balls. It is like saying why does this bad thing happen or that bad thing happen? This is all part of life, so maybe life is the making up of the whole of what it was about for us? I told you I think that this is a hard question to answer because the answers can be very different for each person in this world. Guess that is all.

You cannot escape from life unless you choose to leave this place and if you did, you'll come right back because you have been contracted to do so or you wouldn't be here in the first place! Life is meant to be difficult, don't you see that? In my belief system, I believe the harder it is the better it will be for you after you leave here. I'm not afraid of death in the least, what doesn't appeal to me is any hard suffering to get their. Pain is not my best attribute but something I have been working on for quite some time since I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Escaping life will only shorten the experience to which you were meant to experience. If you choose to shorten life, life will be much harder the next time you come back. I'll take the cards Ive been dealt. I don't think I have it so bad. I'm not rich and am very poor but happy with a good loving husband. What more can I ask for? To me it is the sweetest life has given me and I'm grateful for it. The key to life is to grateful for all the blessings to which you have and not what you think you want or do not have! Take life as a well learned lesson and keep doing so and you will begin to master life.

After we die , life goes on
we are here because of existence . because we are living our life as we wish .
the meaning of life is how we live and what we do with our life.
we can only escape when our day on earth is done..
No I am not scared of life, only what goes on in it. life it self is a good thing
I am not scared to be alive . I enjoy being alive . it is the only thing I know because I am not dead yet. and after death there are no bounds no limits .. for then I will have escaped...

I do not fear living, I only fear living not living well. By that I mean not making a positive difference in the lives of my family. I wish to die with a purpose while making a difference. When I do die I'm going to the carnival. The only true way to escape life is to die.

No, I'm not scared to be alive. I'm only partially scared of my life in the future.
After you die, you either go to heaven or hell depending on what you choose. If you don't make a choice at all, you go to hell. If you choose to accept Jesus into your heart, ask for forgiveness for your sins and live for Him, you will go to heaven...like I will!
We are here to live for God and help people to make the right choice about where they'll go after they die. We're here to make the world a better place for others and to reach out to those who aren't as fortunate as us.
The only escape from life is the very opposite of what it is...death. I hope you won't try to escape by committing suicide. If you really don't like your life, don't give up. You can make it through. If you have Jesus in your life, you will have the strength to continue. He will never give us anything that is too hard for us to handle.

I know it sound boastful, but with the way I've lived my life I've had several near fatal incidents, and after recovering from them, I've gone right back to living my way. I don't want for much in life, and at the end of it, I choose to keep my dignity and to hell with what society or other people say I should think or do. I know of no deep meanings for our lives, but since we're here, we should live and die well, as both have meaning,if only to ourselves.

Not scared to live, not scared to die. I'm a Christian so I'm heading for a better place when I leave here.

I'm not scared because Jesus is the life ,Jesus is God and God is love .
what happens when you die depends of what you choose when you live.you either choose Jesus as your savior ,live for him and go to heaven when you die or you do not accept Jesus as your savior and as you don't have a substitute for you that paid for your sins because you rejected Jesus ,you die and go to hell.
but that's not what God wants for you so i recommend you , choose Jesus.
