are you at ease with your mortality or do you fear death?

Answer 1

I never really feared or thought about death too much, until I became a parent, then it tends to creep in a bit. It becomes rather frightening to think that if you died your childs life would be changed beyond imagination. If I can survive until she is fully grown, that would be preferable and any more time a great bonus for me. xx

Answer 2

I'm at ease with my mortality because I know that this world isn't forever, this body isn't forever, etc. I'm at ease with my mortality because I know that I've lived the right life, I've obeyed the laws of God and of nature, and I don't fear death because I know that there is something much better in the afterlife, so therefore I'm at ease with my mortality and I don't fear death.

Answer 3

I am so comfortable with my mortality and have no fear of death! I know where I'm going after death and it's extremely great and every day of life is a blessing too. I don't want to "live" forever, getting older is hard on the body and other things and makes the thought of a transition beautiful. I also have no fear of the actual event of dyning, even if it's painful. It would be so temporary...nothing to worry about.

Answer 4

Having survived breast cancer, I think I have looked my mortality in the face, so to speak.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with incurable auto immune liver disease. That is fatal, the only "cure" being a transplant if I am lucky enough, and if someone else dies.
To that end, I thank a being larger than me for another day when I wake. I thank my husband for another lovely day when I go to bed. I live each day like it is my last -- - I am going to be right sooner than I would like.
I think I am at ease with my mortality - - I do not fear death.

Answer 5

I'm at ease about it. I don't say this casually. It took me some time to work this out.

My view is that my death could come today, this year, ten years from now...the point is, anything is possible, and I have no idea.

I see death is inevitable. It's not something I can do anything about, except to take care of my health and fitness as best I can, and to act prudently to avoid mishaps.

I see death as a natural event, something that happens to everyone. When my death comes, if it isn't a sudden death, very likely I will welcome it as a relief to the burden of aging or suffering.

For these reasons, I don't believe it's worth dwelling on. It really makes much more sense to focus on life, on making my life better and enjoying it as much as I can.

I use death to focus me on the right actions. Later, if I have time to ponder my whole life, I want it to be meaningful, in that I didn't waste it. I accomplished things and relished what was wonderful. I was true to myself.

Answer 6

Fearing "Death" comes simply from fear of the unknown...I do not fear "Death",, in fact,, I relish the idea when the time comes for me to leave this world..."Death" is just another phase of our lives we know little about...Some seek it now,, for whatever reason,, some never seek it,, feeling immortal for eternity...To put it in better terms,, my thoughts on "Death",, I am but a Spirit living a human experience,, not a human trying to live a "Spiritual" experience...When it's my time to leave this body,, my life will take on it's "New" phase...
