Are you afraid of Death?

Question

I am terrified of death. :'(

I'm afraid because it's scary. :(

Answer 1

I hate to admit it, but yes. To me it just seems so painful! That's the only reason I'm scared of it.

Answer 2

To quote Blood, Sweat, & Tears: "I'm not scared of dyin', and I don't really care...if it's peace you find in dyin', well, then, let the time be near...." I believe that death will be a release from the worries and stressors of this life, and, frankly, sometimes I look forward to it! I love life, don't get me wrong, but, the older I get, the more empathetic I become of the old folks who just want to go on.

The Bible says that it is appointed unto man once to die, and, after this, the Judgment." So, I would think, for those of you who fear death, that it's not death you should be afraid of...rather, it's what awaits after death!

Answer 3

You attract what you fear. Death should be a matter of will and choice.

Start focusing on 'existential' death instead. What is psychological death to you? Overcome this and you will lose your fear of physical death. You are the observer of your 'learned' thoughts and feelings. Do not identify with those feelings learned from the people around you in childhood.

Answer 4

Nope...About 6 billions of people faced it since the beginning of mankind.

Like they said : "x happy consumers can't be wrong !".

I already saw the Death...it is not that scarrying.
I believe in life after dead...it why I don't have to be afraid. However, I would regret to die now...I have some things to do in the future.

Answer 5

I swear that anyone who says they aren't afraid of death are either young (and thus largely not influenced by it) or are lying. The fact that you accept it as inevitable or that you believe there is life thereafter is little consolation, as you still don't know what will happen to you (or your loved ones, for that matter). To put it succinctly: Those who await death without fear have had the privilege of never dying before.

Answer 6

I wouldn't exactly call it fear. Apprehensive, yes. Curious, superstitious, exploration, thrilling, unknown, all of these words can be placed in the description. It is just part of the journey of our Spirit. Spirit does not end, it isn't finite. I am comfortable with my God, my Higher Power, therefore I know that the universe is just to vast for our measly little busy self-centered lives here on this planet Earth to be IT. That involves way to much ego.

Answer 7

I don't want to die, but I'm not afraid of death because I'm going to heaven. I suggest going to a few churches to get rid of your fear of death.

Answer 8

Every breath you take is a step towards death. No person gets rejoicing from this world but tears come to him after it, and no one gets its comforts in the front but he has to face hardships in the rear. No one receives the light rain of ease in it but the heavy rain of distress pours upon him. It is just worthy of this world that in the morning it supports a man but in the evening it does not recognise him. If one side of it is sweet and pleasant the other side is bitter and distressing.

Its authority is changing. Its life is dirty. Its sweet water is bitter. Its sweetness is like myrrh. Its foods are poisons. Its means are weak. The living in it is exposed to death; the healthy in it is exposed to disease. Its realm is (liable to be) snatched away. The strong in it is (liable to be) defeated and the rich is (liable to be) afflicted with misfortune. The neighbour in it is (liable to be) plundered.

Are you not (residing) in the houses of those before you, who were of longer ages, better traces, had bigger desires, were more in numbers and had greater armies. How they devoted themselves to the world and how they showed preference to it! Then they left it without any provision that could convey them through, or the back (of a beast for riding) to carry them.


Blessed is the man who always kept the life after death in his view, who remembered the Day of Judgment through all his deeds, who led a contented life and who was happy with the lot that God had destined for him.

Answer 9

I'm not afraid of death itself and do not believe that anything follows, but it causes me great anxiety to think of leaving my family and friends behind. They still need me, and I so want to see how my grandchildren turn out--to see them graduate from college, get married, and make their marks on the community. And I want to be a helpmate to my wife in our golden years.

Answer 10

Ofcourse

Answer 11

I do not want to die. But, I wouldn't say that I was afraid. I am afraid to suffer a painful death.
