Does it freak you out that one day you WILL die?

Answer 1

No. Is there any point in being "freaked out" by the inevitable?
Poo. I enjoy living, thank you very much, & by the way--we can die ANY day. Hey. How about getting run over by a herd of aardvarks? It's not just "old age" that get's you. I remember thinking about dying, some time back, & decided I'd like to go in a bolt of lightning! Swift, just a little pile of ashes no one would even have to bother with! Poof & I'm gone. Now, I don't even think about it. Today is my immortality--love it--live it--& c'est la vie!

Edit: Love tammipup's sense of humour! (Thumbs up.) As for Colonel, cremation is an option, but that freaks out some people, too!

Answer 2

No.

We humans have been dancing around this piece of 'reality' fo as long as we have been dancing around, and that's a lot ( I mean a whole great, big lot ) more than we are constantly telling ourselves. The 'Christian' religion has, until quite recently, been trying to tell us that we've only been around for a few thousand years.

Wrong, it's more like millions verging on billions. The problem is this old saw of 'death', we still tend to think that when the body that we are driving around drops to the ground that that which drives it drops too. It doesn't. What we are made of is pure energy, electromagnetic energy, and that, our 'science' tells us cannot be created or destroyed.

If one gains some insight into the process of coming into this physical realm, in an in arnate manifestation, then a bizarre truth reveals itself. Being 'born' is the difficult part, squeezing the infinite energy of which we are composed into one of these tiny, squidgy, little human bodies, and then to find out that it doesn't even work ! That's hard.

'Dying' is to be released back into the infinite, touching all, down to the microscopic, up to the 'All' of the macroscopic, and what we think of as macroscopic is but an infintessimal fraction of what really is. Imagine being able to literally 'Be' all that is, and then you begin to approach that which we experience beyond this physical manifestation.....maybe.

No, what freaks me out, even a little about sharing this understanding, is that if everyone knew what 'Death' really was, I suspect that the suicide rate would increase exponentially. And that would be a great error. We come here to play a part in the overall purpose of creating experience, and that purpose can seem obscure, especially once we are here, and leaving before we have carried out that purpose could be a source of regret.

And we shouldn't have to regret anything.

Answer 3

The past year I'm thinking about it all the time.I'm thinking that we humans are not even half a sec of life on earth or even worse of life in universe.It's sad to think that we all die someday.We are now here answering questions and asking things,but some years later some other people will do so and we will be gone :(
And I think I should stop thinking about death or I will just drive myself mad!

Answer 4

I think that we are naturally programmed not to face that question head on. Even when we are close to it, we would probably go into a kind of nether world, and not fully face up to it. If we didn't, we would probably die of shock. We are doing the opposite of 'suspending disbelief '.

Notwithstanding, the older you get, the more you tend to think about it. It is a little like preparing yourself. Yes, spooky, and seriously worrying.

Answer 5

No. I just find it really, really annoying that there will be at least one really good book left that I haven't read, one great piece of music I haven't heard, one half hour I haven't spent with my wife, one more morning I won't wake up. It's a royal pain in the a*** but it doesn't freak me out.

Answer 6

oh yeah. sometimes my mind stumbles on the thought that one day I will die!why wouldn't i freak out?thinking about if what i've done is enough?and what really freaks me is HOW i will die.i dont want it to be painfull,certainly not slow! i don't want to know i'll die...and right im thinking of ways to die...... die!!!! im so freaking out!

Answer 7

Yes kind of... It's the only thing in life that we know will happen at some point!!

I just hope that i'm a lot older but not infirm. I want to see and do so much (suppose most people do)

Life is short so live it to the full...

Answer 8

Definitely! Getting older freaks me out too!

Answer 9

Yes, it does, as being alive mean fearing death. But as the thoughts of death haunt human mind, the mind in response does not sit idly. The belief in the life after death is not only the cure for the fear of dying; it is also the remedy against dying itself. Most people believe in a life after death, and the power and meaningfulness held in their beliefs often surpasses all that this temporal life can ever offer to a person.

Answer 10

Not really. Of course I wouldn't like to die soon, but I'm not fussed, really. What's the point of being scared by death? It won't help me avoiding it, will it?
