why there are people who are not afraid to die?why am i afraid of dying?

Answer 1

Death is scary for everybody. Don't let anyone fool you into believing they welcome death or something (well, some people do - the kind that are in great pain) but generally people fear death. So you are not strange.

I think that wherever you see men go bravely into battle or do awesome feats at great risk to their lives, you will find that these men have prepared themselves/accepted what might happen.

There is a saying, "Courage is fear that has said its prayers."

Most people really don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. Just enjoy the life that you DO have and let go of your fear. We're all in the same boat together.
Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I am one of those "people" who is not afraid of dying. I have my life straightened out and know that when I die I will get to see my loved ones who have gone on before. I am however, afraid for my husband. You see, I am a christian and am saved so I know that I'm going to heaven. My husband, on the other hand is not and that scares me to know that if he were to die tonight he would be spending eternity in hell. Turn your life over to God and you will see once He gets a hold of your life you won't be scared anymore.

Answer 3

I am more afraid of suffering and pain than death. Unfortunately, pain is sometimes a harbinger of death--it reminds us we are mortal. I have faced death twice, and it seemed like a certainty and a comfort at the moment I was sure I would die. I have suffered many injuries, and they have brought on a condition of chronic pain; oddly, the constant companion of pain seems to have lessened the fear associated with it, since it is no longer a sharp warning of danger but an everyday thing with no diagnosable cause. The injuries have healed long ago and, although my back is slowly disintegrating, I accept that I must fight it by exercising and strengthening, so that it lasts long enough to take me through life.

Losing your fear of death is something you must practice. If you focus on losing your attachment to life, the fears drop away. When you think about it, it is futile to be attached so fiercely to something that everyone eventually loses. To fear death unreasonably is to never really live in the first place. You may need counseling to overcome your fears, or you may be able to throw off the fear yourself if you practice. One trick is to occupy your mind with something else, a task that requires a lot of concentration, so that you do not think about the "memento mori." We all must eventually face it.

Answer 4

Interesting question and I have an example for you. While I do not want to die, if I were to know that I would drown I would not have a problem with that. I was drowning once and since the lungs are involuntary, I was breathing in water. It was not like suffocating and I saw my life before me as I was about to die. I didn't care, because the sensation was not one of pain.

My lungs functioned as they usually do and was substituted by water, rather than air. The minute level of the oxygen of water in my lungs was enough to sustain me until I was saved. However, the sensation was calming and while I knew I was dying, I did not care. It was an experience that only one in the same situation would understand.

I do not want to die right now, but if I had a choice it would be to drown.

Answer 5

Dude, everyone's afraid of death. Have you ever watched video footage of when something messed up happens? Take a good look at the people who are running and screaming. People fool themself into thinking they're not afraid so they can function like a normal human being.

To Sum it Up:
1)Everyone dies, it's inevitable and it can happen at any time. Unless you're a cyborg from the future or some kind of immortal like the guy from Highlander, it's gonna happen.

2)Would you rather be the guy who accomplished something with his meager 80(possible) years of life or the guy who squandered his best years cowering in a basement somewhere.

Our planet is a speck on a speck on a speck in a Universe which has existed for billions of years. Use your 80years wisely.

Answer 6

When I was young I made mistakes and I learned from my mistakes.

It seems to me that all of us have to learn the hard way but by living and learning, we learn to take the neccessary steps to go forward.

I was 22 years old when I got married.

That day, I promised my self that I would do the best I could to the best of my ability and that I would be all I could be to those I loved.

On that day and to this day forward I have done my best to conduct myself in a manner that would build good memories.

I take great pride in the fact that I understood at an early age what self satisfation really ment and I learned if I wasn't satisfied with my self, no one else would be.

Together my husband an I have raised our children, (now married with their own children) to the best of our ability.

I have made no enemies and I don't have any reason to have to make ammends to anyone.

I am at peace with myself and I have prepared for my passing.

I have a plot of ground with headstone at the cemetery, in the town that I grew up in.

I have bought and paid for the insurance for my burial.

I have a will and I have written my obituary.

I have written a message to my posterity to be read at my funeral along with a poem that I will share with you.

Don’t cry at my grave cause I won’t be there.
I’ll be in the breeze that ruffles your hair,
I’ll be in the sunshine I’ll be in the snow,
I’ll be in the places that we use to go.
I’ll be in your shadow and there in your dreams.
I’ll be in your greetings but not your goodbyes.
I’ll be in the reflection of your loving eyes.
I’ll always be with you and I’ll always care.
Don’t cry at my grave side cause I won’t be there.

To answer your last question, I can say yes, I'm ready to die. I believe in the hereafter and when my time comes I will look forward to a reunion with my ancestors.

My mother died when I was 8 years old and I look forward to seeing her again.

When our journey comes to an end and the world stops long enough to let us off and we have done our best, we can say, " All is well."

Thanks you so much for your question. It gave me a lot to think about.

By the way if your wondering my age, I am 72 years old and holding.

Answer 8

Sometimes you just come to a point where you accept it and come to peace with it. Sometimes the thought of it is still scary, which is natural, but other times I just realize that it's part of life, that I had this chance to at least live and then when I am dead, at least I assume that I won't be even aware of it.

Answer 9

I can only answer for myself - but I have been taught all my life, and truly believe it, that death is not the end of existence, but a return to God and those loved ones who have gone before. As long as I am square with God, I don't fear meeting Him.

I have no solid scientific proof of this, but it is my faith, and I have intangible reasons to believe it. Therefore I have hope, rather than fear.
