So, why are you unafraid of dying?

[Freebird4077]

I fear death. Most people, in fact, everyone I know who don't fear death are Christians.

Id like to say Im not scared of dying... but Im pretty sure Ill be scared shitless when it comes to it.
But just the thought of my body being around, without me controlling it, thinking inside of it, being able to change my facial expression... creeeeeps me out. Like some rag doll. ack

idk Its really weird. I try not to think about it. But it is going to happen... so like others have said, no point worrying about it until it happens.

I do fear death. You see, I sorta' like living. After about thirteen years straight of it, it sticks on you. But, I suppose when I DO die I won't know it, nor realize just how bad it sucks. So, I do fear death, but in the end I guess I wont. :U  

[Dark Pieman]

I am afraid of death, and I try not to die. A religious person believes that however badly they are treated by their superiors, they will live a good afterlife if they are obedient and follow the rules. This is the reason religions are started; to control the peasant population and avoid rebellion.

A non-religious person will try to change things during life because they know that after death they will not be able to.

Basically, I don't fear death because I know there won't be anything waiting for me afterwards. I don't have to fear any sort of Hell...and sure, there's no Heaven or reincarnation waiting for me either, but it's not like I'm not going to be around to mope about it once it happens. 'I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit.'

Dying is what I fear, as it's often slow and painful and horribly frightening, not to mention gut-wrenching and guilt-inducing if you've got to lie back and watch your loved ones cry for you...when it comes down to it, I don't want to die.

It suddenly struck me just how stupid and pointless it is for me to be as adverse to the idea of being cremated or embalmed as I am...

 

[Covered-Up Boxers]

I am very terrified about the end of my existance, but I accept it as a part of life. Just like I didn't exist before I popped out of my mom, I won't exist afterwards.

>_> I feel very uneasy when I think about dying, which is why I don't do that very often. I'd like to live my life like it doesn't matter. I hope to die happy and leave a lasting impression on those around me.

Or die the leader of the Republic of North America. >:3  

[Levis Pennae]

I do not fear death, nor do I want to die. Death will come anyway, no point helping it along or prolonging it, for death cannot be defeated (believe me, Thor tried).  

[Black Ice Anti-Hero]

Im not afraid because death is a natural part of life and I accept that.  

[Koravin]

I believe in reincarnation.  

[Lunar Falcon]

I'm not all that afraid of dying for myself, that's easy to do and I don't fear heaven or hell. I am afraid of dying and leaving my loved ones alone and making them suffer the pain of grieving.  

[Reichkovich]

I suggest everyone reads Tuesdays with Morrie.  

[Doctor Salt]

I'm not afriad of dying. I'd be sad, bacause I'd be leaving everybody I love behind though.  

[Ninyaruto]

I'm not afraid of being dead, but the little translation period known as 'death' sounds like it might hurt.  

[sugarwing]

Death as it is, is okay, and I accept it as the price to pay for being able to live. However I fear the dying part (unless it happens in my sleep -booya!) and if I have to leave loved ones behind. This is out of experience because many people around me lost their loved ones and I see how, even years after, it hurts to speak of it. Knowing I will never give them the relief they want to (no matter whether there is life after death or not), it would hurt me a lot before...probably forgetting them all and becoming nothing.  

[Superior Jazz]

I am not afraid of dying. Death itself does not scare me.
I am concerned, yes, of leaving everyone else behind... I am concerned with not being able to protect the ones I love.
But Death itself? No. I am unafraid of the Grim Reaper.
He will come for me eventually.
Sometimes, I scare people with my cold, unfeeling lack of fear of death.
