Death: Friend or enemy?

Question

Your opinions.

Answer 1

Friend.. it comes to us all.so we better start getting used to the idea!!

Answer 2

Depends. I am a Paramedic. Death is my enemy. However, it is the friend of many of the patients I treat. Car wrecks, old folks, people with no chance...they all want to die, I can't let it happen. Sometimes, no matter what I do, it DOES happen...but that's part of it.

I don't want to live life as a vegetable. If it ever comes down to it, death will be my friend, too.

Answer 3

What a question!!

To an aged person who has lived a full life, planted seeds and gathered fruits and after a long time of agony it can be friend
comming to end the pain........but
to a newborn sin-less helpless baby or a young person it is an unfair enemy.

I guess it depends on what you´ve done with your life
when death knocks on your door if it will be welcomed or not.

Answer 4

Its depends on your state of mind towards death and life. Some people are terrified of death while others learn to cope with it and others imbrace it. In my opinion I think of death as neither, nor friend nor enemy. I dont want to spend my life living in fear of dying. I just accept that fact that it is inevitable and i've sometimes embrace that fact. Its not easy to learn to live with death.

Answer 5

Death just is. Its neither good nor bad, friend or enemy. It is a fact of life, its the end of life on this earth and possibly the beginning of life elsewhere. Its why it frustrates us. We can not change it, we can not alter it, we can fight it but we all loose that battle. It is, it wins.

Answer 6

Depends on how you see things. I feel death is a friend, but I am also selfish.
For someone who is in chronic pain, the thought of death does occur. But then you think of your kids and family and the dread of keeping going just one more day is what you cling onto for dear life.
When death is finally near I know my family will be OK for everyday I tell them that I love them and cherish them!
It is just how one sees things. Death is final, it is selfish and the world looses something when one dies.

Answer 7

Death is my frenemy. The concept of death and dying is both fascinating and frightening. On the one hand, we all have instincts that demand we fight to survive, to live. On the other hand, death is an inevitable, natural, occurrence in life. I loathe and am enthralled by death all in one.

Answer 8

Death is a door open to be part of God.All depend what do you think in the last moment.

Answer 9

I can't say it any better than Jesus Sirach from "Ecclesiasticus" in the "Apocrypha" found in Catholic Bibles between the old and new testaments. This passage was beautifully set to music by Johannes Brahms as one of his "Vier Ernste Gesange" (Four Serious Songs) which are the last songs he wrote.

O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat!

2 O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost patience!

(Chapter 41)

Answer 10

Neither. It's a natural form of life.

Answer 11

for me, enemy. i don't believe in an afterlife and believe this is my opportunity to truly live.
