how do you feel about death?

Question

do u find death scary or are u prepared for it. for example if your friend or parent died or someone close to u how would u deal with it.

Answer 1

Ive lost both my parents a brother and a sister and I'm only 43 its hard but we must accept that this is life,I'm not scared of dying but not in a nasty way we will all meet up again i believe anyway.

Answer 2

I like the idea of a heaven afterwards but hate the thought of rotting in the grave with all those worms eating me or being burned dosent sound good either, what if I am still alive and just cant wake up...So I guess Im not prepared.....Some close people have died and even though I knew it was going to happen I was not really prepared for it.....You just have to take one day at a time..........

Answer 3

How do I feel about it? It sucks. It's the worse possible thing that could happen to a person, unless it relieves suffering. I lost both my parents in my 20's and 7 years later, I find that the loss has all but destroyed me. Death was always something that was supposed to just happen to everyone else, not me or my family. Life was so much different, when death wasn't so real.

Answer 4

Death is the one thing we all have in common, and everybody's got to do it some day.

If we all lived forever, this planet would already be pretty full and things would get very boring as the centuries rolled by. I honestly don't know how those vampires cope! ;)

Seriously though, I'm not that scared of dying. I'm unsure about what happens after you die, which makes me feel a little anxious about it. Most of the time you tend not to think about it until it happens aroudn you.

Answer 5

However great one is death means fear. Only place where people absolutely claim that they don't fear death is found in speeches/writings/interviews by people who had led saintly life. For example, J Krishnamurthy, Swami Vivekananda, and people like them in modern times.

Otherwise, I had seen people who are in the middle of battlefield can forget death and keep fighting.

It is a normal behavior and fear is absolutely essential to understand what it is?

And fear grows when we grow. Atleast some kind fear is in everybody. I happened to watch a YouTube video, where a small child tries catching a Big Cobra. But still the same child would be closing its eyelids, when you closely clap your hands near its face.

So there is fear. Almost any kind of fear is associated and stemmed from this fundamental fear of death. If we are sure we will not die most of the times we will not fear.

Understand, Fear is not in death but in dying. The moment before death is fearful. Not the death itself.

Answer 6

I am so not ready 4 death...I get the chills thinkin about death...I kno death is sumthing that we all have 2 accepted but it just freak me out...Honestly If someone close 2 me died I have no clue on how I would have dealt w/the situation at all...

Answer 7

I see Death as a new beginning, whats beyond death no one knows, but I do not fear it, I just fear how I go.
Some deaths are long and dragged out, some deaths are by the hands of others , other ways are quick, so quick we do not have time to go.
I also think what you do in this life caters your next, if your evil then your ´next life with by misery, if your good then your life with be joyful, saying that prehaps we just relive our lifes until we get it right..... theres no point fearing death because its one of the many things we have little control..

Answer 8

death has many aspects. it's hard to die when there's someone depending on you. my friend told me that dying for a noble reason is the way of the immature, but somehow, death is the only thing that makes this world a better place to live in. death gives you the meaning of life. always think that all people die, if not today, maybe tomorrow. remember; "it's compromise that moves this world along."

Answer 9

Death is fear...and while there is fear the more you get closer to death..face your fear and overcome it with acceptance....I used to be scared a lot..I used to feel morbid about it..I used to avoid this topic...but when I started to view life in a more optimistic way that there is always a reason for living and a reason for dying,,then somehow I learned to accept death as a natural occurence in one's journey in life...it is inevitable, and no one can escape death..not even the best, the most, the highest,all the superlative adjectives...death comes to everyone's door, any age, any race, any being, unexpectedly like a a thief at night,...and with this in mind..I try to prepare myself always...I guess the easiest way to feel prepared is acceptance...as you breathe each day..thank your Creator and repent your sins........

Answer 10

It's not really death that i fear, it dying before i did something to change lives. as an arabian poet put it "if death is a must, then it's a shame to die invain"

before i die i want to feel that i wasn't like the billions who passed away and have never been noticed.

And remember everybody and everything is going to die one day even the universe will and death gives way to life somewhere.

yet being afraid of it is normal, fear of the unknown is one of the most common human traits. so use your fear of it to be a motive for you to be prepared for it.

find your meaning of life, it will help you get prepared for death.
