if we are all going to die, how come we are not freaking out about it?

Question

it's just something we don't dwell upon is not the answers i'm looking for.
How does our brain "decoy" this traumatic event that WILL happen to ALL of us?

Answer 1

Because its too boring to freak out.

Pretend you did freak out. After half and hour, the world is still the same. Now your brain will observe that and say "Now what. When did you say it will end again?" Whats for dinner?

"Now what kind of trouble can we get ourselves into while waiting for the world to end?"
"Uh huh, lets go build a spaceship, and maybe build a colony on the moon, yup, we can do that"

The brain-will-panic and brain will go into the roll-up-into-a-ball and go into a wait-for-doomsday-mode is totally unrealistic.

Answer 2

I just trust that "if" i die sometime, it will happen in the best possible manner, and the least painful. I have no 100% info on my death, as most others wont have that info either. but its worthless to worry about something which you have so little control over. If you sedated yourself 24/7 with no food or water, then your sure of a painless death, other than that, there are no guarentees in life are there...

Answer 3

Interesting question. It is not that I do not dwell upon it, it is that I am so busy living and enjoying my life that I do not think about it.

Who knows what I shall do on the emanate moment of my death. I just might freak out as my last breath flows.

Answer 4

The same way our brain focuses on the lack of options!
As I've accepted so many other things, such as the appreciation of having use of 5 senses & Christ as my Saviour, it's easily understandable to recognise that 'freaking out about it' is completely senseless!

Answer 5

Because the brain doesn't see our death as imminent and the body remains relatively calm....Now let the brain know about terminal cancer, asteroid hit, Tsunamis or gun put to ones head and the panic over-whelms you. Oh my Gosh I'm going to die.....

Answer 6

We are born to die just as the sun has a sunset. Death is the full circle of life

Answer 7

We live in denial.

Prophet Mohammad (owbp) said, "Die before you die."

Saint Paul said, "I die [ascend] daily."

Each evening, one experiences a lessening of outer waking data stream, a parallel with dying.

In that process, one's waking subconscious becomes one's dreaming conscious.

In passing on from the screen of life, a similar process occurs.

One may partially gauge one's post-passing awareness by one's nightly dream states.

To the degree one becomes more coherent in one's waking subconscious, one becomes more lucid in dreams.

Further coherency and lucidity permits telepathic interchange with helper Beings, out-of-body learning, and the like, the realization that "there is no death."

To encounter some who are more able and aware, kindly read "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton,

Answer 8

Because we have a lengthy
opportunity to make and do something with
of ourselves before the inevitable.

Answer 9

"It can't happen here!"
We deceive ourselves or occupy ourselves with other matters.
Plus religion tells us its a better place we go if we act a certain way. My preferred answer is e=Mc^. We cannot be destroyed; its just a matter of cohesiveness.

Answer 10

Why see it as trauma.

It is our way out when our lessons are through. Our way home.

I am looking forward to it.
