Why do we get scared of death though all of us have to die ultimately one day ?

Answer 1

According to me ,its because after we die we don't know what lies ahead of us, i mean the spiritual world. Once a man dies he has to leave behind all the people or places that he knows very well.Everyone of us won't be happy if we are taken to a strange place that you know nothing about.I think that this fear is quite natural.

Answer 2

I am loving my ' living ' and would be very unwilling to have to give it up and die right now. I have had times when I thought it was all going to end and I wasn't very happy to think about it then even though I am one of those who believe in an afterlife.
I am old enough to have seen people die and the ones I saw go were more than ready to leave this life and go to whatever and/or wherever---- just to have it over with.
For the most part and , for a lot of us, when its time to go its not so much frightening as it is a relief.

Answer 3

Because some methods of death are skary. No one wants to be subject to a madman's weopons. It is the complete not knowing that creates the main skare. Remember Dr. Death? He put people to sleep on their own request. Maybe they were in pain and knew they would be in growing and last stages of something dreadful, but he could just put them to sleep and they'd be in heaven before they knew it. Maybe they are atheists or don't trust a heavenly reward. If death is the end to them, and they think they will cease to be, that is skary.Most people know almost nothing along spiritual lines -- for these people only corporeal physical earlhly existence counts because anything else may not exist and nobody's going to prove it to them; and they would not accept proof anyway nor have they the spirituality to do what it takes to change matters for themselves in most cases.

Answer 4

You've been trained by a hypermaterialistic culture to fear the "loss" of your physical body. More enlightened cultures, of which there are many, realize that "dropping" the body, and moving your real self into the higher dimensions is a natural process, and, perhaps, a blessing, for those that have "done the work" to prepare themselves appropriately for living and travelling in those dimensions.

The Egyptian and Tibetan Book(s) of the Dead, so called, are designed to aid a person in living his life well, both while incarnate, and thereafter.

Answer 5

Because there's no way to be certain what will happen after death, if anything. Exactly what the first person said. It's fear of the unknown. And because we have grown attached to the people (and things) around us. It's a sad thing to have to part with the ones you love forever.

Answer 6

Despite all kinds of mediums and clairvoyants telling us that they had experienced death and have returned (which I can categorically state I do not believe in!), as well as all kinds of assurances of an "afterlife" propagated by religious zealots from millions of differing beliefs, we simply do now know for sure what's gonna happen when we breath out that last breath of air . . . And its that uncertainty which scares the sh*t out of all of us (even those who profess to actually "await death eagerly!)
It simple: fear of the unknown!

Answer 7

I think it's the conflict between acceptance of death, and our denial of the apparent end of life. Any change breeds uncertainty and death is the big change. Plus we tend to have a pessimistic outlook on change in general, I think.

Answer 8

Its all bcoz we have to left over this world alone without our loved ones and our dreams.
It was a pure immaturity despite the thought we have explored everything in this world.

Answer 9

never been scared of death before...

Answer 10

because they don't know the word of God and that is all to it
