do you think death Is death scary?

Question

Think about it, your just flesh, a gelatin like structure that simply relays electric signals, life is just an illusion, you only think you're alive because you can remember what you did 2 seconds ago, and you can calculate what your going to do in 2 seconds time.
All your emotions are simply chemicals fusing in this big mass of flesh, happiness is just an emotion, fear is just an emotion, and you should be afraid,because all it takes is 1 little thing to go wrong, and you will simply cease to be, you will no longer remember what happened 2 seconds ago, and you will no longer be able to do anything in 2 seconds time, and thats all life is folks, you couldn't do that before you were born, and you wont be able to do that after you die...does this scare you? does it scare you so much you wish it wasn't true? does it scare you so much that you refuse to believe its true and hide behind religion? now ask yourself this, whats relay the scary thing, life? or death?

Answer 1

Death is an antithesis of what keeps you alive. Every living being struggles to keep alive, which means it has a force to keep things going.In the backdrop of that lies nothingness, and it where one gets scary.Death does not bring with it any remorse or ambition.

Answer 2

Who doesn't think it's scary?.Sometimes I'am like I'am not afraid to die but the truth is when you really think about it it's scary.We came into this world alone and we die alone that's the scary part.You can't take anyone with you.I do believe that we can see our loved ones again and in a higher power but we really don't know do we?.Life gets more scary every year but thinking about that and not truly living is not good.We as people have to appreciate the life we have now and be kind to each other.The truly scary thing for me is not remembering me,my life the people I love.It's scary to not know where we go or if we just are dead forever and not really know it now that's creepy.Even if we were to come back It would be sad that we start again but don't remember those we have loved or were.

Answer 3

Yeah, death is scary as after death you have to leave everything beloved thing or relation here and you just have to move all alone in the next world where you'd not know that what will happen with you.

Answer 4

Honestly, I'm afraid of death. I think that most people won't admit it either. I do believe in God and an after life. It just scares me to know that someday my body will die and rigor mortis will set in. It makes me unsettled just thinking about it. You, the original poster, sound like you're kind of bitter but don't be because this can't be all there is. Just think of lower intelligent species like an ant or even a dog. They probably don't have the capacity to think beyond what their brain allows. Same with human beings. We can only fathom what our brain allows us to. There's more to this life, believe me. Even if the Bible never existed, I would still feel this way. This is just a temporary ride so make the best of it and treat everyone around you with love, even if they don't ask for it.

Answer 5

yea. but the real horror is what will happen to those left behind, that you will no longer have influence over the events that take place after you are gone. like some unfinished story. never knowing that song that came on the radio after your death that you would have loved. never really knowing that person you might have learned to love. never again feeling the breeze through your hair on a cool fall day. never again feeling all those wonderful feelings you had as a child, even if just for a moment. and besides...you can always just hit the road if things get to much to handle. you might find whats been missing from your life...like freedom. you wouldn't have much to lose...so why not? why not give it a good run and then ask yourself about chemicals and synapses and magnetic ink?

Answer 6

Being alive is scary to me. Dying is probably only scary to most because its the fear of the unknown. The fear of knowing! and not knowing! Fearing that all of this means nothing and I guess thats where religion comes into play. To feel like existence isn't meaningless.

I get out of my head and dizzy when I start to think these ideas through...

I am not religious, I don't believe or not believe.. but I believe the body is just a house. I believe I am something more than chemical reactions and electric impulses.

I believe I'm not this.

Answer 7

Yep, that painless part would be a great comfort. I'm scared of dying, but ain't skeered of being dead. Actually, I'll take a little pain if you can guarantee if I'll go out on my 95th birthday, due to a aneurism or embolism sustained while trying to pleasure two 42 and 1/2 year old women (I'm kinda particular about dating women my own age, but I figure two 40 somethings would add up to 95, so it'd be okay).

Answer 8

I hate death I wish we could live forever im 46 years old now but I look 35 I love steamtrains I hope there up there adem and eve are the cuese of death we should be living in a perfet world there is a afterlife with god

Answer 9

Lol, I love an atheists pseudoscience to explain death. As is somehow science is a holy grail of knowledge, instead of a laborious journey of trial and error. The truth is, scientists don't know any more about death than a priest or a shaman. Do we continue on sans-body, cease to be altogether, start anew as something else? Is death a separation or a coming together? There's only one way to find out. But you'll find that in the moment you see death's approach, death is scary; and you'll do things you didn't know you could do, to get out of death's way.

Your body may be inescapably, mortally, fragile; but the part of you that inhabits it doesn't have to be. Your will can lend strength to your flesh- if you can act through the fear. Call it adrenaline if you want to be blase, but if courage is just a simple chemical reaction, then why do some of us lack it?

Answer 10

Death is very scary for me, what I do to try to figure out how scary death is going to be is to try to think what you did, what you where, how was it, what you felt, etc before you where born, all that time, all those great people that lived and died, what was I or what was I doing during that time (all the time before I was born) and how will death will be, what will I do, how will it be, all the things I will miss (very difficult to descrive).
I once started thinking about how death will be and how it was before I was born, and I got really scared, every day what I would do is think about that, so what I did was to forget about death and start living life as if I was going to live forever, as if there wasn't something to be afraid to, and now I'm very happy and inside of me I hope that there is a god that is looking out for us and that heaven (or hell) awaits for us when we die.
Don't think about death, think about how great life is, so live life, enjoy it, and forget about the inevitable.
Live life so that when the death is closer you will look back and say, I'm not afraid of death, I've lived a great life.
(you only have one shot with life, don't screw it up)

Answer 11

Can you remember before you were alive? No so it's the same concept you have been dead before. But dinosaus have drunk 100 per cent of water on this earth and Weare 70 per cent water. So have hope
