Death has always been the most dreaded factor of life for any living being. It is not only the humans who are afraid of death... animals and other forms of life also feel the same!
What makes death the most fearful of all attributes of God? There is none who can defy death. It is only after gaining self realization and enlightenment that one becomes immortal. It is this stage when the fear of death vanishes for ever. Every God realized Master and an enlightened individual finally overcomes death.
What is to death that is feared about most? Death announces the end of the physical manifested journey on Mother Earth. Whatever be the achievements of an individual in any phase of life... be it the form of an insect, animal or the human being himself... all seems to have gone wasted!
After the death of the body... none remembers what the next manifestation would be! For the present being all is lost after the death of the body. The entity for which it lived all through in the present life seems to be lost forever the moment the death of the body occurs.
The achievements in the present life... do they carry no value. Why does not God Almighty show mercy on human beings and increase their life span proportionate to their achievements in the physical manifested life.
It is a remote possibility that such an arrangement may have worked. Probably God Almighty did not have able advisers. People of the level of Edison and Einstein may have continued living for thousands of years. In doing so they would have immensely benefited the mankind and for God there was nothing to lose. But so was not destined by God. Why? More on death here- http://www.godrealized.com/Death.html

I'm not worried about death...sometimes though I worry about the dying process. I wonder what will happen if I get cancer, or become paralyzed and need constant care from other people. I don't want to be a burdan to society and would rather die than spend a long period of time dependant on nurses, doctors, home care aides and tubes to breathe and eat.
Dying doesn't worry me though. I know that if there is life after death, I'll be okay and if there isn't, I'll be okay with that too. I've made peace with all concepts...reincarnation, heaven, hell, or eternal sleep. The dying process is something I think about from time to time but I don't necessarily worry about it. I do hope I go quickly...I'd rather be ashes than dust!
I'm not a member of any religious organization but I am a molecule in the ocean of life. I'm a member of the whole! No religion for me though.

I am not afraid of death, but the dying part is a little scary. I'm a wimp when it comes to pain.
To be absent of the body is to be in the presence of the Lord - after that, a big dinner party with everyone very, very happy. Then, who knows - but I do know that it won't be boring. God is infinite, and His wonders are infinite.

I dont believe in an afterlife thats why its death. I beleive your body does whatever it does, it grows flowers because it is furtile or it stays frozen if you freeze it etc. I want to live forever, I never really want to die but I am not afraid to die because when Im dead I wont rememebr dying and I will not miss anything because I will have no conciousness.

No one knows anything for sure. I believe that most souls cross over. Religion has nothing to do with the afterlife.

Death holds no fear for me, true i can't know what it will be like but my faith tells me it is a release from the earthly concerns and that is enough for me

If Heaven is such a wonderful place, why does the pope have a bullet proof car? I think you die when your body can't function anymore. It will probably be a relief.
