are you afraid of dying? or thinking about it?

Sometimes I think about how precious life is and how easily it seems like it can be taken away. It scares me. I have so much to live for and it seems like all that can be taken in a heart beat. Family, friends, ambitions, goals, things im looking forward to...

My neighbour died yesterday morning of a heart attack. He was in pretty good shape for being 60.. All I can think about is his wife.. One moment he was there in the morning talking to her... goes to work and doesn't come back..my biggest fear is someone close to be dying. It's happened a few times and everytime it does it doesn't seem real... how can that person just be gone?... Life is too short and fragile. It really does scare me.

Does anyone else ever think about this? Am I paranoid?

I had two friends that died in high school from drinking and driving.

I almost died when I was 12 from a traumatic brain injury.

I'm at the point where I've been around death and my thoughts of death for so long that it doesn't matter to me.

Don't drink and drive... my town lost a great kid because of it and to this day it still fvcks with me and all my friends heads. He died in style though, on PCH.

theres been a lot of these threads recently.

as for me, nope and nope.

not scared in the slightest by death. in a way, i welcome death.

Not really , i just don't think about that at all why waste time thinking about that

I think thinking about it too much is just asking for trouble.

whats with all these afraid of death threads?

no i welcome it not saying i want to die now but if i die tomorrow wupty do

i like the idea of being none existent

There's no point in spending what life you have worrying about inevitable death. Do something worthwhile with your life and the thought of death won't even cross your mind. meconate

Ironic, the first thing Covey says about efficacy is thinking about your own funeral.

There's no reason to fear death. It's inevitable, so being afraid of it is a waste of time. We can do a lot of wonderful and terrible things with our time on Earth, but one sure thing is that no one gets out alive.

Why would you be if you're religious?

You don't die at all. Instead, your body transforms into a spirit-like substance that somehow retains all the characteristics of a physical body. Like emotions, memories, and anything that used to require biological systems to operate. Then you enter a magical realm (or get your own planet) where everyone who has ever lived, lives in. You spend eternity there. For infinity. Because there are no limitations.

No, and in fact, I can't wait to die.

I think about it sometimes. It's going to happen so I don't get all worked up about it. But I hope I Die in my Sleep and I want to be Cremated. That is so important to me.

What are you waiting for?

Dying isn't as hard as it sounds.

Yeah, I do tend to be afraid of death often. I know we all die eventually, but I do sometimes get scared at how it could just happen at any given moment.

Not really but I'm still pretty young so I want to explore the world before tptb blows it to bits and do such other things so I wouldn't welcome death just yet , I think some people are afraid of knowing that once your dead thats it, no more you as in your consious mind even though you won't realised you're dead anyway and others afraid of being dead but just having a consious mind but nothing else for eternity and theres nothing they can do about, no one to reach out to only themselves. How ever I would like to believe theres more to life beyond death. I still feel theres much to life we haven't fully yet discovered and we're a lot more than food for worms:P

The only thing I hate is your time could come at any given moment.

I don't want to die, I don't know about afraid.

I'm pretty comfortable with death. I believe in God and the heavens so from that point of view, I look forward to being up there after I pass. However I also think about what if that isn't real, and I spend an eternity in sleep? Doesn't sound so bad either. We don't even know what happens after death though. . I want to be cremated and want my remains to be scattered in the winds. I will become the dust in your house and troll your allergies.

It doesn't seem so scary now however I'm sure if I knew I was about to die, I'd be absolutely terrified.
